Why Strong GCSE English Grades Are Key for Your Child's Future
A strong pass in GCSE English isn't just another qualification; it's a fundamental requirement for almost every path your child might take. It's about more than just analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' or understanding poetry. It’s about developing the crucial skills of clear communication and critical thinking that top sixth forms and universities look for. Achieving those top grades in both English Language and Literature gives your child the best possible chance to secure their place on competitive A-Level courses and build a strong foundation for their future.

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.

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
The standards at local schools like Cowbridge Comprehensive are very high. Can a tutor help my child keep up?
Absolutely. A personal tutor can provide the focused attention needed to help your child feel confident and stay on track. They can work at your child's pace, reinforcing classroom learning and addressing any specific topics they find challenging, which helps reduce pressure and build self-esteem.
My child hopes to go to Cardiff University. Can a tutor help them get the required English grades?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in helping students achieve the top GCSE grades needed for entry into competitive universities like Cardiff. They can focus on exam technique, essay writing, and critical analysis to help your child build the skills and confidence to aim for those A or A* grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat to see if they are a good fit before you book. It's all about finding someone your child feels comfortable with.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your budget.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child learns from the best.
How can tutoring help my child if they lack confidence in English?
One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic confidence booster. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions freely without fear of being wrong. Tutors celebrate small wins and help them see their own progress, which can completely change their attitude towards the subject.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature GCSEs?
Yes, most of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both the Language and Literature GCSE curricula. You can see their specific areas of expertise on their profiles, whether your child needs help with creative writing, analysing poetry, or understanding Shakespeare.
What results can I realistically expect from tutoring?
While every child is different, our data shows that private tutoring makes a real impact. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and for GCSEs specifically, we can help students improve by up to two grades, which can be life-changing.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built 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.
How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session per week is effective, but you can arrange a schedule that works for you and your child directly with your tutor. It's completely flexible.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can I find tutors for other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, you can find expert tutors to help them explore their passions.
