Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is Key to Their Next Step
GCSE English is more than just a qualification; it's the foundation for your child's future studies. Strong analytical and communication skills are essential for every A-Level subject, from dissecting a poem by Carol Ann Duffy to writing a persuasive history essay. A great grade in English shows colleges and universities that your child can think critically and express their ideas clearly, giving their applications the best possible chance of success.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Runshaw or Winstanley College. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students prepare for competitive college applications. They can focus on developing the analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve the high GCSE grades these colleges look for, giving your child the best possible chance of securing a place.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in Adlington schools?
Because our tutors are online and based across the UK, they have experience with all major exam boards (like AQA and Edexcel) used in schools in Adlington and beyond. They can tailor lessons to the specific curriculum and exam requirements your child is facing.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can easily browse tutor profiles, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat so you can ask questions and see if they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning needs before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, just 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. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. This transparency allows you to find an expert tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden costs.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
A one-to-one setting provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling shy or judged. Tutors offer constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which helps build self-esteem. As your child starts to understand difficult topics, their confidence naturally grows.
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 way to share documents. It's a secure and convenient way for your child to learn from an expert, right from your home.
How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Most lessons are an hour long, and we generally recommend one session per week to build momentum. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child's goals and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
A typical session is tailored to your child's needs. It might start with a quick review of a school topic they found tricky, followed by working through specific exam-style questions. For example, they might spend time analysing language in a Shakespearean soliloquy or planning a persuasive essay, with their tutor providing instant feedback and guidance.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You and your child's tutor can communicate easily through our platform. Tutors provide regular feedback on what was covered in lessons and what areas your child is improving in, so you're always kept in the loop.
