Why Strong English Grades Are Key for Your Child's Next Steps
A strong GCSE in English isn't just another qualification; it's a key that unlocks doors. It's essential for getting into competitive sixth-form colleges and is a requirement for almost every university course, including top institutions like the University of Manchester and the University of Liverpool. Beyond grades, studying English helps your child develop crucial life skills – how to build a convincing argument, communicate clearly, and understand different perspectives. These are the skills that will help them thrive in their A-Levels, at university, and in their future career.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Winstanley College. Can a tutor help them achieve the right GCSE English grades?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for competitive sixth-form colleges. They can focus on the specific skills and knowledge needed to boost your child's GCSE English grade, giving them the best possible chance of securing their place.
We live in Billinge. Are the tutors also local?
Because all our tutoring is online, your child can connect with the very best English tutors from across the UK, not just those in the local Billinge area. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists, including experienced GCSE examiners and subject heads, ensuring you find the perfect match for your child's needs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the first session wasn't quite right for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
Do you only offer help with school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also have talented tutors who can teach a wide range of skills, from learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to coding in Python.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings and reviews from other parents. We recommend looking for a tutor with experience in your child's specific exam board (like AQA or Edexcel) and finding someone whose teaching style you think will suit your child's personality.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, so you can book lessons as and when you need them.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, tutors help rebuild self-belief, which often has a huge impact on their grades and enjoyment of the subject.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and professional?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must pass an interview and have their ID and background checked before they can join the platform.
My child is worried about their GCSEs. Can tutoring really make a difference to their grade?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. Our data shows that focused one-to-one support can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to two grades. Tutors can help plug knowledge gaps, perfect exam technique, and manage revision effectively.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that a regular weekly session is most effective for building momentum and making steady progress, especially in the run-up to exams. However, it's completely flexible and you can arrange a schedule that works for you and your child.
Is Tutorful trusted by other parents?
Yes, we're proud to have helped over 200,000 students on their learning journey. We have a rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars from more than 4,100 reviews from parents just like you, who have seen the positive impact tutoring can have.
