Why That English GCSE is the Key to Your Child's Next Step
A strong pass in GCSE English isn't just another qualification; it's a passport to your child's future. It's the non-negotiable requirement for most courses at Stoke-on-Trent College and for progressing to A-Levels at sixth forms like St Joseph's College. The skills they learn – from analysing a poem to structuring a persuasive argument – are exactly what employers and universities look for. A good English grade keeps their options open, giving them the best possible start.

Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

We're aiming for A-Levels at St Joseph's College. Can a tutor help my child make the jump from GCSE?

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. All costs are clearly displayed on their profiles with no hidden fees.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors have been interviewed and have had their ID and qualifications verified. They also undergo a background check before they can start tutoring on the platform.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one sessions create a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, tutors help them see that they can succeed, which often has a fantastic impact on their self-belief.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are tutors qualified to teach the GCSE English curriculum?
Yes, many of our tutors are qualified teachers or subject matter experts with extensive experience in the specific exam boards and texts for GCSE English Language and Literature. You can see their experience detailed on their profiles.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistent, tailored support can make a big difference quite quickly. Many parents tell us they notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can you help with hobbies?
While we help thousands with core subjects like English and Maths, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, we can help.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
A tutor will usually start by checking in on what your child has been doing at school. The lesson will then focus on an agreed area, whether that's analysing a poem, planning an essay, or working on spelling and grammar. It's all tailored to what your child needs most.
