Why Top English Grades Are Key to Your Child's Future
Strong English skills are about much more than just understanding books; they are the foundation for success in almost every other subject. The ability to analyse a complex quote from 'Macbeth' or structure a persuasive argument in an essay are the exact skills your child will need for their A-Levels and beyond. Achieving high grades in English gives your child the widest possible choice of future paths, strengthening their applications for sought-after universities like the University of Bristol or the University of Bath.

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to a competitive sixth form in Bristol. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in helping students achieve the top GCSE grades (7-9) needed for these applications. They can focus on advanced analysis and exam techniques to help your child's application stand out from the crowd.
We're aiming for a top university like Bath or Bristol. How does GCSE tutoring help with that?
Great GCSE English results are a key stepping stone. They unlock the A-Level choices needed for top university courses and teach the critical thinking and essay-writing skills that are essential for success in higher education.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, check verified reviews from other parents, and even watch short introduction videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors first to discuss your child's specific goals, whether that's understanding Shakespeare or improving their essay structure.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on a tutor's experience and the level of study. You’ll see the hourly rate clearly displayed on every tutor's profile, allowing you to find an experienced tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right personal fit is so important for learning. That's why we have 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.
Can a tutor help if my child's confidence in English is low?
Definitely. A one-to-one lesson is a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions they might feel shy about in a busy classroom. Our tutors are brilliant at building confidence by celebrating small wins and helping your child see what they're truly capable of.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our absolute priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must pass a background check before they can join our platform. We're highly selective and only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Lessons happen in our specially designed online classroom. It features live video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work through anything from practice essays to analysing poetry together.
Will this really improve my child's grades?
We see fantastic results every day. In fact, 90% of our students improve their results by at least one grade. For GCSE English, we can help students improve by up to two grades, making a real difference to their future opportunities.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is the perfect rhythm. It provides consistent support to build momentum without being overwhelming. You can always discuss the ideal frequency with your child's tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English and Maths, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child could learn anything from a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first session is all about getting to know each other. The tutor will have a friendly chat with your child about what they enjoy in English, what they find tricky, and what their goals are. It’s a relaxed way to build a connection and create a plan for future lessons.
