Why a Strong GCSE in English Opens Doors for Your Child
GCSE English is more than just another subject; it’s a key that unlocks your child's future. Whether it’s analysing quotes from 'An Inspector Calls' or structuring a persuasive argument for their English Language paper, the skills they learn are essential. A strong pass isn't just a requirement for many courses at Coleg Gwent; it’s the foundation for the clear communication and critical thinking that top Welsh universities, like Cardiff University, and future employers value most.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to get into Coleg Gwent. Can a tutor help them secure the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for specific colleges. They can focus on the exact areas of the GCSE English curriculum your child needs to strengthen, helping them build the skills and confidence to achieve the grades required for their chosen A-Level courses.
We're thinking long-term about universities like Cardiff. How does GCSE tutoring help with that?
A strong GCSE in English is a crucial first step. It provides the foundation for success at A-Level, which is what universities look at. A tutor helps embed the core analytical and communication skills that your child will rely on throughout their sixth form studies and in their university applications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view detailed profiles for each tutor, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child connects with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is important. 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 much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see the hourly rate on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has features like a shared whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing, making it easy for your child to collaborate with their tutor just as they would in person.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Our tutors create a patient and encouraging environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. This boost in confidence often has a positive impact on their grades and their attitude towards learning.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and has their ID verified before they can start teaching. We also interview every applicant to ensure they are the best of the best.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we cover all core academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have tutors for practical skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, code in Python, or practise a new language, we have tutors who can help them explore their interests.
How long are the sessions and how often should they be?
Most sessions are an hour long, which is usually perfect for keeping your child focused and engaged. Most families opt for one session a week, but you can arrange a schedule that works for you and your child directly with your tutor.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to ask questions or discuss how things are going. Many parents tell us they see a change not just in test scores, but in their child's confidence at school.
How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for tutors, send messages to a few you like, and you could have your first lesson booked within a day or two. It's a straightforward process designed to get your child the help they need, when they need it.
