Strong English skills are more than just a grade on a certificate; they're the foundation for success. A good WJEC English GCSE opens doors to the most sought-after A-Level courses and builds the communication skills needed for strong applications to competitive universities like Swansea and Cardiff. From analysing poetry to structuring a persuasive essay, the abilities your child develops in English will be used throughout their academic life and future career.

I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Are the tutors familiar with the WJEC English syllabus used in Swansea schools?
Yes, many of our tutors have specific experience with the WJEC syllabus. You can check their profiles for details and even message them before booking to ensure they're the right fit to help your child with their specific exam board requirements.
Can a tutor help my child with their application to Swansea University or Cardiff University?
Absolutely. A great English tutor can be a huge help with university applications. They can assist your child in structuring their personal statement, refining their writing style, and articulating their ideas clearly, which are all vital skills for a successful application.
How do I find the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple to find a great match. You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience, then read their profiles and reviews from other parents. We also recommend having a free video chat with a tutor before booking to make sure their personality and teaching style are a good fit for your child.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom is designed to be engaging and easy to use. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and examples, and the ability to upload documents like essays or past papers. It’s a secure and effective way for your child to learn one-to-one.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on every tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help rebuild that self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their grades.
What is the 'First Lesson Guarantee'?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. If you don't get on with your tutor after the first session for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour session each week works best for consistent progress, especially when preparing for exams. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's goals.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language.
What if our family schedule is really busy?
We understand that life can be hectic. That's the beauty of online tutoring – it's flexible. You can find tutors who offer lessons in the evenings or on weekends, fitting learning around school, clubs, and family commitments without any travel time.
How long does it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tuition is that it's focused entirely on their needs. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
