Why Strong English Grades Are So Important for Your Child's Future
A good GCSE in English Language and Literature isn't just another qualification; it's a fundamental skill for life. It's about more than understanding Shakespeare or analysing poetry. It teaches your child how to communicate clearly, build a compelling argument, and think critically—skills that are essential for the most sought-after A-Levels, competitive university courses, and future careers. Strong English skills give them the confidence to express their ideas, whether they're writing an essay or in a job interview.

David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends Northallerton School & Sixth Form College. Can a tutor align with their specific curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced teachers who are familiar with the specific exam boards and curriculum used in schools like Northallerton School. When you message a tutor, you can discuss your child's specific needs and what they're covering in class to ensure the lessons are perfectly aligned.
We're aiming for a competitive university like Durham or York. Can a tutor help with the higher-level skills needed for that?
Yes, this is a great way to use a tutor. They can help your child move beyond just passing their GCSEs and develop the deeper analytical and critical thinking skills needed to achieve top grades. This strong foundation is exactly what competitive universities like Durham and York look for in their applicants.
What if my child doesn't get on 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 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.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding in Python, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find experienced tutors on our platform.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. It’s all about finding someone your child clicks with.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget using the filters on our search page. Tutors set their own rates, so you can find someone who is a great fit for your child and your budget, with no hidden fees.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is interviewed and must pass an enhanced DBS background check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can tutoring help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
Sometimes, all a child needs is a little one-to-one attention in a supportive space. A tutor can go back over topics your child finds tricky, work at their pace, and celebrate their small wins. This personalised support is often the key to rebuilding their self-belief.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, showing that regular, tailored support makes a real difference.
What happens in a typical one-hour English lesson?
A lesson is tailored to your child's needs. It might start with a quick review of a topic from their last session, move on to tackling a specific challenge like analysing a tricky poem, and end with planning their next steps. It's all about focusing on the areas where they need the most help.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature GCSEs?
Yes, definitely. Most English tutors are highly experienced in both aspects of the GCSE course. They can help your child with everything from crafting persuasive writing for their Language exam to analysing key quotes from 'Macbeth' for their Literature paper.
