Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is Key for Their Future
English isn't just about understanding Shakespeare or analysing poetry; it's the foundation for clear communication and critical thinking. From crafting a compelling argument about 'An Inspector Calls' to understanding complex texts, the skills your child develops in English are what colleges and universities look for. A strong GCSE grade shows they can think deeply and express themselves clearly, which is vital for success in A-Levels and beyond. In fact, we can help improve your child’s GCSE results by up to 2 grades.

Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grade needed for New College Doncaster?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades. They can work with your child on the exact skills and knowledge needed to meet the entry requirements for competitive colleges like New College Doncaster, focusing on everything from essay structure to textual analysis.
My child is hoping to go to a university like Sheffield or Leeds. How can an English tutor help?
Top universities like Sheffield and Leeds look for students with strong analytical and communication skills. An English tutor can help your child develop the deeper critical thinking and sophisticated writing style needed to excel in their A-Levels and write a compelling university application.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. If for any reason you and your child don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles, read detailed reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also send them a message before you book to discuss your child's needs.
Are all the tutors safe and background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has an up-to-date DBS background check. We also personally interview every tutor to ensure they are of the highest quality.
How much does an English tutor in Armthorpe cost?
Prices vary depending on a tutor's experience, so you can find someone who fits your budget. All rates are shown clearly on their profiles with no hidden costs or contracts. You're always in control.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents and past papers. It's a secure, convenient and engaging way to learn.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention makes a huge difference. In a supportive space, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, work at their own pace, and celebrate small wins. This personalised support is fantastic for building their self-belief.
Can tutoring help with the specific texts my child is studying at Armthorpe Academy?
Yes, definitely. When you search for a tutor, you can look for those with experience in the specific curriculum or texts your child is studying, whether that's at Armthorpe Academy or another school. You can message them beforehand to make sure they're a good fit.
How long are lessons and how often should we have them?
Most lessons are one hour long, which we find is perfect for covering a topic in depth without your child losing focus. Many families start with one session a week, but you and your tutor can agree on a schedule that best suits your child's needs.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we're experts in academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have amazing tutors for hobbies and professional skills. Your child could learn anything from guitar or piano to coding and public speaking.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child. It might involve working through a tricky piece of homework, practising exam techniques for their GCSEs, analysing a poem together on the interactive whiteboard, or planning a high-scoring essay.
