How a Strong English GCSE Prepares Your Child for the Future

English isn't just another subject; it's the key that unlocks so many future opportunities. Strong grades in both English Language and Literature are often essential for getting into the best A-level courses and securing a place at their chosen university. The skills your child develops—from analysing a tricky quote in 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument—are the very skills they'll need for higher education and their future career. It’s about giving them the tools to communicate clearly and think critically, which is a huge advantage for life.

Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child attends Chellaston Academy. Can we find a tutor familiar with the GCSE English curriculum they follow?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience with the AQA, Edexcel, and OCR exam boards used in schools like Chellaston Academy. You can check each tutor's profile for their specific experience and even message them before booking to discuss your child's needs.

My child is hoping to study at the University of Derby. Can a tutor help with their personal statement?

Yes, definitely. Beyond curriculum support, our English tutors are brilliant at helping students with their UCAS applications. They can guide your child in structuring a compelling personal statement that showcases their strengths, which is a fantastic way to prepare them for applications to places like the University of Derby or other Russell Group universities.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first choice isn't the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How do I find the right English tutor for my child?

You can use our search filters to find tutors based on their experience, price, and availability. Reading reviews from other parents is a great way to get a feel for their teaching style. We also recommend messaging a few tutors to chat about your child's goals before you book.

How can a tutor help my child with their confidence in English?

This is one of the biggest benefits we see. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. A great tutor celebrates small wins and breaks down tricky topics, like analysing poetry, into manageable steps, which really helps build self-belief.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We have a strict vetting process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This means you can find an amazing, qualified tutor that fits your family's budget.

How does online tutoring work?

Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It allows for a really focused, one-to-one learning experience, and because it's online, you get access to the best tutors from across the UK, not just those nearby.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

Most sessions are an hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor to suit your child's needs and schedule.

Can I track my child's progress?

Yes. Your tutor will provide feedback after each lesson, and you can always message them directly to discuss how things are going. This partnership between you, your child, and the tutor is key to making great progress.

What happens in the first lesson?

The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about what they enjoy in English, what they find difficult, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed way to build a connection and create a plan for future lessons.

Do you only offer academic subjects like English?

While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child can learn practical skills like coding or a musical instrument like the guitar, or even explore a new language. There's something for every interest.
