Why a Strong English Grade is Key for Your Child's Future in Wales
A strong pass in WJEC English Language isn't just another grade; it's the key that unlocks the door to A-Levels, vocational courses, and future university places. The skills your child develops—from analysing a tricky quote in 'Macbeth' to structuring a persuasive essay—are exactly what colleges and employers look for. Mastering these skills gives them a huge advantage, building a strong foundation for whatever path they choose next.

The Right Support to Help Your Child Ace Their English GCSE
We'll help you find an expert English tutor who understands the WJEC curriculum inside and out. They get to know your child as an individual—how they learn, where they're struggling, and what makes them tick. This means they can adapt their teaching style, whether it’s breaking down complex texts like 'An Inspector Calls' or building confidence with essay writing. Every online lesson is built around your child's specific needs. If they find poetry analysis daunting or need to sharpen their grammar for the language paper, their tutor can create sessions focused entirely on those areas. This targeted support is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade—and for GCSEs, it can be by up to two grades. Finding the perfect tutor for your child in Tonypandy is simple, and because all lessons are online, they fit easily around your family's busy schedule. No travel, no fuss—just high-quality, one-to-one learning from the comfort of your own home. It’s why over 200,000 students have found success with us, and we're proud of our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews.

John H
Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Experienced English Tutor - KS3, GCSE, A level, University
Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor and examiner, who has been teaching English Language & Literature and Religious Studies online since 2013. I am a fully qualified teacher with a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education.While I am a passionate tutor of each of these two subjects individually, more importantly I feel that my experience in each subject contributes something to the other. For example, my knowledge of Biblical and Greek mythological references from my study of world religions is often really useful when interpreting certain texts by Shakespeare or other non-contemporary...

Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.

Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

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.

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at Coleg y Cymoedd. Can a tutor help them get the required English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very familiar with the entry requirements for local colleges like Coleg y Cymoedd. They can focus on helping your child achieve the specific WJEC English grade they need to secure their place and feel confident about their next steps.
We're aiming for a top grade in English to strengthen a university application to Cardiff. Can we find a tutor for that?
Yes, you can. You can filter tutors by their experience and specialisms, including those with expertise in helping students achieve top grades for competitive university courses. They can help your child with the advanced analysis and essay skills needed to stand out.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for your child's success. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just 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 read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs for the WJEC English exam and make sure they're the perfect match.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
A great tutor builds a supportive, one-to-one relationship where your child feels safe to ask questions they might not in a busy classroom. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help your child see their own ability, which is a huge confidence booster.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the WJEC curriculum?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors are experienced in teaching the WJEC curriculum. They can focus on specific areas your child finds challenging, whether it's understanding unseen poetry or mastering the structure for the language paper.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also see their confidence grow as they start to tackle homework more easily and talk more positively about English. Open communication with the tutor is key, and you can message them anytime.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without it being overwhelming. However, you can agree on a different length with your tutor if needed.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like creative writing?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum! Alongside core subjects like English and Maths, your child can explore creative writing, learn to play the guitar, or even get started with coding. There's something for every interest.
