Why a Strong GCSE in English Opens Doors for Your Child
GCSE English is more than just a qualification; it's the key that unlocks your child's future choices. A strong pass in both Language and Literature is often essential for getting onto popular essay-based A-Levels, paving the way for a degree at a great university like Sussex or Brighton. The skills they'll build with a tutor – from crafting compelling arguments to understanding complex texts – are skills for life, giving them the confidence to succeed in whatever they choose to do next.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to get into BHASVIC or Varndean. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students secure the GCSE grades needed for competitive local colleges like BHASVIC and Varndean. They can focus on the specific skills and knowledge required to meet their entry requirements, giving your child the best possible chance of getting a place.
We live in Shoreham-by-Sea. Are the tutors local?
Because all our tutoring is online, your child can connect with the very best English tutors from across the UK, not just those in the Shoreham-by-Sea area. This gives you a much wider choice of experts, so you can find the perfect match for your child’s personality and learning needs, all from the comfort of your home.
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 for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How can tutoring help my child get a better GCSE English grade?
A tutor can identify the exact areas where your child needs support, whether it's understanding Shakespeare or improving their essay structure. By creating a learning plan tailored to your child, they can close knowledge gaps and build exam technique. We can help students improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is one of the most important things a tutor does. A one-to-one setting provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Our tutors are brilliant at breaking down tricky topics, celebrating small wins, and rebuilding the self-belief that makes all the difference.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles, watch introduction videos, and check reviews from other parents to get a real sense of each tutor's teaching style. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. This helps ensure you find someone your child will really connect with.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
The price for an English tutor varies depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, the safety of your child is our top priority. All our tutors must pass an identity check and have an up-to-date DBS or background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted professional.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and designed for learning. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space to share documents. It means your child and their tutor can work through essays, analyse texts, and practice exam questions together in real-time, just as they would in person.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects from 11+ to degree level, we also have brilliant tutors for hobbies and professional skills. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, we can help.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss lesson length with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set number. It completely depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your tutor to create a plan that's right for your child.
