Why a Strong English GCSE is Key for Your Child's Next Steps
English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for so much of your child's future. A strong pass, especially a grade 5 or above, is often a non-negotiable for the most popular A-Level and vocational courses. It's the skill that allows them to analyse a quote from 'Macbeth' with clarity, write a persuasive argument, and communicate effectively. These are the abilities that will help them stand out in applications to colleges, secure a place at a university like Teesside, and thrive in skilled local jobs.

Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for Prior Pursglove College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very familiar with the entry requirements for popular colleges like Prior Pursglove. They can help your child focus on hitting the specific GCSE grades, particularly that crucial grade 5 or above in English, to give them the best possible chance of securing a place.
We're aiming for a course at Redcar & Cleveland College. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. A tutor can create a learning plan tailored to helping your child meet the entry criteria for courses at Redcar & Cleveland College. By focusing on the areas of the English curriculum they find most difficult, a tutor can build their skills and confidence ahead of their exams.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents just like you. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking to ensure you find the perfect match.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the right fit. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS background check. We also interview them and verify their ID and qualifications to ensure they meet our high standards.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
Often, a lack of confidence comes from small gaps in understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. This personal attention helps them master tricky topics, and as their understanding grows, so does their confidence.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. Prices are always clearly displayed on each tutor's profile with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you'll be paying.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn one-to-one, from the comfort of home.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the English GCSE, like poetry analysis?
Definitely. That's one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. If your child finds poetry analysis or Shakespeare particularly challenging, their tutor can dedicate entire lessons to breaking it down, practising exam techniques, and building their skills in that specific area.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the one-to-one focus means progress can be seen quickly. Many parents tell us they notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English and Maths, you can also find experts in everything from coding and guitar to piano and Spanish.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life happens! You can easily reschedule or cancel lessons through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice.
