Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is Key to Their Next Step
GCSE English is more than just a qualification; it's the foundation for your child's future studies. Strong analytical and communication skills are essential for every A-Level subject, from dissecting a poem by Carol Ann Duffy to writing a persuasive history essay. A great grade in English shows colleges and universities that your child can think critically and express their ideas clearly, giving their applications the best possible chance of success.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Runshaw or Winstanley College. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students prepare for competitive college applications. They can focus on developing the analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve the high GCSE grades these colleges look for, giving your child the best possible chance of securing a place.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in Adlington schools?
Because our tutors are online and based across the UK, they have experience with all major exam boards (like AQA and Edexcel) used in schools in Adlington and beyond. They can tailor lessons to the specific curriculum and exam requirements your child is facing.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can easily browse tutor profiles, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat so you can ask questions and see if they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning needs before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. This transparency allows you to find an expert tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden costs.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
A one-to-one setting provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling shy or judged. Tutors offer constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which helps build self-esteem. As your child starts to understand difficult topics, their confidence naturally grows.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a secure and convenient way for your child to learn from an expert, right from your home.
How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Most lessons are an hour long, and we generally recommend one session per week to build momentum. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child's goals and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
A typical session is tailored to your child's needs. It might start with a quick review of a school topic they found tricky, followed by working through specific exam-style questions. For example, they might spend time analysing language in a Shakespearean soliloquy or planning a persuasive essay, with their tutor providing instant feedback and guidance.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You and your child's tutor can communicate easily through our platform. Tutors provide regular feedback on what was covered in lessons and what areas your child is improving in, so you're always kept in the loop.
