Why a Strong English GCSE Opens Doors for Your Child
English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for so much of your child's future. The skills they build – from analysing a quote in 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument for their Language paper – are exactly what competitive local colleges look for. Mastering these skills gives them the best chance of securing their post-16 place and thriving at A-Level, paving the way for a spot at a great university like Keele.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply for A-Levels at a competitive local college. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students meet and exceed the grades required for post-16 study. They can focus specifically on the areas of the English curriculum your child needs to strengthen, building their skills and exam technique to help them secure their place.
We're concerned about the step up from GCSE to A-Level English. Can a tutor help prepare my child?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in bridging the gap between GCSE and A-Level. They can help your child develop the deeper analytical and independent study skills needed to succeed at A-Level, which is fantastic preparation for future university applications to places like Keele.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
It’s all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. This helps ensure you find someone your child will connect with.
How can an English tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a safe, supportive space makes a huge difference. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down big challenges into manageable steps. As your child starts to see their own progress, their self-belief grows, which often has a positive impact on their other subjects too.
What happens if we don't click with the first English tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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 online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS certificate. We personally interview every single tutor to ensure they are knowledgeable, passionate, and brilliant at what they do.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something different like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we are experts in core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have amazing tutors who can teach everything from coding and musical instruments to new languages and art.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, definitely. Most of our English tutors are experts in both Language and Literature and can create a lesson plan that covers whichever areas your child needs the most support with, from creative writing to Shakespeare.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard session length is one hour, as this is usually the most effective for maintaining focus and making progress. However, you can discuss your needs with your tutor, as many are flexible and can offer longer or shorter sessions if required.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Many parents find and book the perfect tutor within 24 hours. Tutors are usually very responsive and can often schedule the first lesson within a few days.
