Why a Strong English GCSE Opens Doors for Your Child
English isn't just another subject; it's a vital qualification that underpins almost every other area of study. The ability to build a compelling argument or deeply analyse a quote from a text like 'Macbeth' are skills that universities and employers look for. A strong pass in GCSE English, particularly a Grade 5 or above, is essential for securing a place on competitive A-Level courses and is a key requirement for respected universities like Oxford Brookes and Warwick.

The Right Support to Build Your Child's English Skills
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a connection. By getting to know your child's unique learning style and where they need the most help, they can create a supportive space for them to ask questions without fear of judgement. We take this partnership seriously, which is why we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from an expert who is background-checked and ready to help. Every one-to-one lesson is built around your child. If they need to spend an entire session mastering essay structure or practising how to analyse poetry, that's exactly what the tutor will focus on.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Wykham Park Academy. Can a tutor tailor lessons to their specific GCSE curriculum?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in the main UK exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR). During your first session, the tutor will get to know your child's specific needs and the curriculum they are following at school to ensure every lesson is perfectly aligned with what they're learning.
We're concerned about the competition from the Buckinghamshire grammar schools. Can a tutor help my child reach the level needed for competitive A-Level courses?
Yes, this is a common goal for many parents. A tutor can provide targeted support to help your child secure the crucial Grade 5-9 in GCSE English. They can focus on developing the advanced analytical and writing skills needed to stand out and meet the entry requirements for top A-Level providers.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. Finding someone your child feels comfortable with is the most important thing.
How much does an online English tutor in Banbury 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 experienced tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor specifically help with essay writing and textual analysis?
A one-to-one tutor can break these skills down into manageable steps. They can work with your child on planning and structuring essays, developing a strong argument, and selecting the best quotes to support their points. This focused practice is often difficult to get in a busy classroom.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes, and a space to upload documents like essays or past papers. It's a simple, secure, and effective way to learn from home.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going. Many parents tell us the first sign of progress is seeing their child's confidence grow in the subject.
Can a tutor help with university applications to places like Warwick or Oxford Brookes?
Yes, many of our English tutors have experience helping students with their personal statements and wider university application process. This can be invaluable for helping your child articulate their passion for their chosen subject and secure a place at their preferred university.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
It's for both! While many parents come to us for help with core subjects like English and Maths for GCSEs or A-Levels, we also have expert tutors for music, coding, languages, and even learning a new hobby. It's all about changing lives through learning, whatever that may be.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is ideal for steady progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange lessons more frequently during exam periods or less often if your child just needs an occasional top-up. It's entirely up to you and your tutor.
