Why a Strong English GCSE is Key for Their Next Steps
Securing a Grade 5 or above in both English Language and Literature isn't just about passing an exam; it's about opening doors. These qualifications are essential for accessing the A-Level courses that lead to strong applications for universities like Newcastle and Northumbria. The skills your child develops, from analysing quotes in 'Macbeth' to structuring a persuasive essay, are the foundation for success in almost any subject they go on to study.

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 goes to Astley Community High School. Can a tutor help with their specific curriculum?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in the national curriculum and can tailor their lessons to the specific texts, exam boards, and topics your child is covering at school. Just mention this to the tutors you message to ensure a perfect fit.
We're hoping for a place at a college in Whitley Bay or Newcastle. Can tutoring help?
Yes. A tutor can be a huge help in securing the necessary GCSE grades for competitive A-Level courses. By focusing on strengthening weak areas and building exam confidence, a tutor can help your child put forward the strongest possible application.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and use our chat feature to message them directly before booking. It's a great way to get a feel for their teaching style and find someone your child will connect with.
Can a tutor really help improve my child's GCSE grade?
Yes, they can make a significant difference. The focused, one-to-one support helps close knowledge gaps and build confidence. In fact, our data shows we can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to two grades.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must pass a background check before they can join our platform. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
My child's confidence has taken a knock. How can a tutor help with that?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a supportive environment, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics helps rebuild their self-belief, often with a positive impact on their schoolwork in general.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15 an hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price to find a great tutor who fits your budget.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a function to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find a one-hour lesson per week is ideal for steady progress, especially in the run-up to exams. However, it's completely flexible, and you can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress and see how they are getting on.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts in all core subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have talented tutors who can teach skills like coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, or even a new language.
