Why a Strong GCSE in English is Key for Their Next Step
A good GCSE English grade is more than just a requirement; it's a passport to your child's future learning. The skills they develop are fundamental for success in A-Levels and beyond. It’s not simply about analysing quotes from 'An Inspector Calls' or crafting poetry. It’s about teaching them to think critically, communicate their ideas clearly, and build a convincing argument – abilities that top colleges and universities look for. This core qualification gives your child the freedom to choose the subjects they're passionate about for their next steps.

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
Can a tutor help my child get the English grade they need for Haywards Heath College or Varndean College?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the GCSE grades needed for competitive colleges. They can focus on the specific skills and knowledge required by the curriculum to help your child feel confident and prepared for their exams.
My child is hoping to go to the University of Sussex or Brighton. Can a tutor support their A-Level journey too?
Of course. Many of our English tutors specialise in A-Level and beyond. They can provide consistent support as your child transitions from GCSEs, helping them master the more complex texts and analytical skills needed for A-Level success and university applications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. 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 know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background checked. We also personally interview each one and are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
What results can we expect from GCSE English tutoring?
While every child learns at their own pace, our personalised approach gets results. 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade, and for GCSEs specifically, private tutoring can help boost results by up to two grades.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a secure and engaging space for your child to learn from anywhere with an internet connection.
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 who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Can tutoring help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a supportive and encouraging environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Rebuilding that confidence is often the key to unlocking their academic progress.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families opt for one hour-long session per week, as this consistency helps to build momentum. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be discussed with your tutor. You might want more sessions in the run-up to an exam, for example.
How long will my child need tutoring for?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students use a tutor for a short-term boost before an exam, while others benefit from ongoing weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss a learning plan with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something new?
While we are experts in core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. So, if your child wants to learn a new skill like coding, playing the guitar, or speaking a new language, we have expert tutors who can help with that too.
