Why a Strong GCSE in English Opens Doors for Your Child
GCSE English is more than just a qualification; it's a toolkit for life. The skills your child develops, from analysing a tricky quote in 'Macbeth' to building a persuasive argument, are exactly what top colleges and universities look for. A strong pass doesn't just secure their place on an A-Level course; it gives them the communication and critical thinking skills needed to succeed there, and in their future career.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study A-Levels at Tresham College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grade?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students meet specific entry requirements. They can focus on the exact topics and exam skills your child needs to improve their grade and secure their place on their chosen A-Level course.
We're worried about the high standards at schools like Bishop Stopford. Can a tutor help my child keep up?
Definitely. A one-to-one tutor can provide personalised support that complements what your child is learning in school. They can help fill any gaps, reinforce difficult concepts, and give your child the confidence to participate more actively in class.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few 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?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity and background check, before they can start teaching.
How can a tutor help my child with GCSE exam technique?
Our tutors are brilliant at this. They can teach your child how to understand what questions are really asking, how to structure their answers effectively, and how to manage their time in the exam hall to make sure they get the most marks possible.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experts in both and can create a lesson plan that covers everything your child needs, from analysing poetry and novels for Literature to mastering persuasive writing for Language.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to an exam. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like coding or music?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we are experts in core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have fantastic tutors who can teach hobbies and skills like guitar, coding, or learning a new language.
How quickly will we see an improvement in our child's confidence and grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, which is a testament to the power of one-to-one support.
