Why a Strong English GCSE is So Important for Their Future
English isn't just another subject; it's a key that unlocks your child's future. Strong grades in English Language and Literature are often a requirement for the most popular A-Level courses and are highly valued by universities and employers. The skills they learn—from analysing a quote in 'Macbeth' to building a persuasive argument—are skills for life. A great tutor helps your child master these skills, giving them the confidence to succeed in their exams and beyond.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to Greenhead College or Heckmondwike Grammar. Can a tutor help them get the required English grades?
Absolutely. This is exactly where our tutors excel. They can provide targeted support to help your child move from a grade 5 or 6 to the 7s, 8s, and 9s needed for these competitive sixth forms. Our data shows that we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades, giving them the best possible chance of securing their place.
Are the tutors familiar with the GCSE English curriculum taught in Dewsbury schools?
Yes. Our tutors are experts in the AQA, Edexcel, and other exam board specifications used in schools across the UK, including those in Dewsbury. They can tailor lessons to the specific texts and exam requirements your child is working on.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles, watch introductory videos, and see ratings and reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors who seem like a good fit and sending them a message to discuss your child's specific needs before booking.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important. We have a 'First Lesson Guarantee' to give you peace of mind. 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 are your tutors vetted?
We take safety and quality very seriously. Every tutor is interviewed, has their ID and qualifications checked, and undergoes a background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child learns from the best.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics, like Shakespearean language, into manageable steps, which builds self-belief over time.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's simple to use and allows tutors and students to work together just as they would in person.
How many lessons will my child need to see an improvement?
It varies for each child, but consistency is key. Many parents find that weekly lessons help build momentum and confidence, leading to noticeable progress within a term. Your tutor can discuss a plan with you after the first few sessions.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
A session is tailored to your child's goals. It might start with a quick review of a school topic, then move on to practising a specific skill like analysing unseen poetry or planning an essay. It's an interactive and collaborative time focused entirely on what your child needs most.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects from the 11+ through to degree level, we also have talented tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, from learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python.
Can I book lessons at a time that suits my family?
Yes. Our tutors offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends, so you can easily find a lesson time that fits around your family's busy life without the stress of travelling to and from sessions.
