Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is So Important
GCSE English isn't just about analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' or understanding poetic techniques; it's a core qualification that colleges and employers look for first. A strong pass opens up a huge range of A-Level choices and is often a requirement for university courses and future careers. It proves your child can communicate clearly, think critically, and build a strong argument – essential skills for whatever path they choose next.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study A-Levels at a sixth form in Norwich. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced GCSE specialists who understand the entry requirements for popular sixth forms and colleges like those in Norwich and the College of West Anglia. They can focus specifically on the skills and knowledge your child needs to aim for a grade 5 or above, giving them the best possible chance of securing their place.
We're hoping for a place at the University of East Anglia (UEA). How can an English tutor support this goal?
A strong GCSE English grade is a crucial first step for any university application. A tutor can help build the foundational analytical and writing skills that are not only vital for passing the GCSE but also for succeeding at A-Level and eventually at a respected university like UEA.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find a great match. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their short introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also send a message to a tutor before you book to discuss your child's specific needs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
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 do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has to go through a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, creating a secure and engaging space for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Can a tutor help my child with confidence, not just grades?
Yes, absolutely. For many children, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to learning. Our tutors are brilliant at creating a positive, encouraging environment where it's safe to ask questions and make mistakes. Building that self-belief is often the first step to better grades.
Will the tutor know about my child's specific exam board?
Yes. Our tutors have experience with all the major UK exam boards, such as AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. You can check their profiles for details or message them directly to ensure they are familiar with the specific curriculum your child's school is following.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find that one lesson per week provides consistency and allows time for your child to practise between sessions. However, the frequency is completely flexible and can be arranged with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your schedule.
How long are the lessons?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time for focused learning without your child losing concentration. You can, however, discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to coding in Python, you can find expert tutors to help your child explore their passions and learn valuable new skills for life.
