When your child is at a great school like Impington Village College, it can be frustrating to feel the pressure from the top Cambridge sixth forms.

Why a Top English Grade is Key for the Best Colleges
GCSE English is more than just a required qualification; it's the foundation for success in higher education. Strong analytical and communication skills are exactly what top colleges and Russell Group universities look for. Whether it's crafting a persuasive essay, deconstructing a complex poem, or analysing quotes from 'Macbeth', these are the abilities that will help your child's application stand out and allow them to thrive in their A-Levels.

Focused English Support to Help Your Child Stand Out
The right tutor does more than just teach the curriculum; they build a partnership with your child. By understanding their unique learning style and where they need the most help, they can create a supportive space for them to ask questions they might not ask in class. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from an expert who is background-checked and ready to help them succeed. Every one-to-one lesson is built around your child's specific goals. If they're struggling with poetry analysis or need to sharpen their essay structure to hit the top marks, their tutor will focus the session entirely on that. It's this personalised approach that makes all the difference. In fact, 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and for GCSEs, that can mean a jump of up to two grades – a crucial advantage in a competitive environment. Finding the right support shouldn't add more stress to your family's busy schedule. With Tutorful, you can connect with the perfect English tutor from the comfort of your home in Histon, at a time that works for you.

Flora I
Flora is a very patient, professional and well-prepared tutor. She always explains things clearly and teaches my son how to answer GCSE questions in a structured way. She provides homework, goes through mistakes carefully, and shows him how to improve his answers step by step. She also adjusts her teaching according to my son’s exam boards and level. My son is less anxious about English now and is slowly gaining confidence. We are very happy with her support and would definitely recommend her.
She is especially good at supporting students who are weaker in English and need clear guidance and structure.

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Impington Village College and aiming for Hills Road. Can a tutor help them secure a grade 8 or 9 in English?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for parents we support in the Histon area. Our tutors specialise in helping students push beyond a standard pass to achieve the top grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus specifically on the exam techniques and deeper analysis required to hit those grade 8 and 9 marking criteria.
How can an online tutor help my child's application to a competitive Cambridge sixth form stand out?
A top grade in English is a huge asset. A tutor can help your child develop the sophisticated analytical and writing skills that demonstrate they are ready for the academic rigour of A-Levels. This not only boosts their predicted grades but also gives them the confidence and knowledge to perform well in any entrance tests or interviews.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking to find the perfect fit. Look for a tutor with experience in the specific area your child needs help with, whether that's GCSE exam preparation, essay writing, or building confidence with Shakespeare.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With our first lesson guarantee, if you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How are your tutors vetted?
We take safety and quality very seriously. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID and qualifications verified. We interview every tutor and are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can trust you're choosing from the best.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Often, a lack of confidence comes from not understanding a specific topic. In a one-to-one setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor can break down tricky concepts into manageable steps, celebrating small wins and creating a positive learning environment that builds their self-esteem.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat and an interactive whiteboard. A tutor might use the whiteboard to analyse a poem together, work through an example essay plan, or review your child's recent homework, providing instant, helpful feedback.
How do online lessons work? What technology do we need?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no need to download any complicated software.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Sessions are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can find and book a tutor very quickly, often starting lessons within a few days. Many of our tutors offer instant booking, so you can get the support your child needs right away.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're experts in core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have talented tutors who can teach a wide range of other skills. From learning to code in Python to playing the guitar or speaking Spanish, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
