Why a Strong English GCSE is Key to Your Child's Next Steps
English is more than just a subject; it's a vital qualification that opens doors. The skills your child develops—from analysing a quote in 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument—are exactly what top sixth forms and universities look for. A strong pass, especially a grade 6 or 7, gives them the best possible foundation for their A-Level studies and strengthens their applications, helping them stand out from the crowd.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to get into Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form. Can a tutor help them get the right English GCSE grade?
Absolutely. Many parents in Bishop Auckland share this goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades, like a 6 or 7, needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on exam technique, essay writing, and textual analysis to give your child the best possible chance.
With Durham University so close, how can tutoring now help with a future application?
A strong English GCSE is a key building block for a successful university application. The analytical and communication skills they develop with a tutor are essential for A-Levels and are highly valued by top universities like Durham. It’s a great way to build a strong academic foundation.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect match for your child's personality and learning style. It’s all about finding someone your child can connect with.
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 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 an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, with prices starting from £15 per hour. You can use our search filters to find an experienced tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has been through an identity check and has a valid DBS certificate, so you can have complete peace of mind.
Can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. A tutor can celebrate small wins, explain things in a new way, and create a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within 48 hours, so you can find the support your child needs right away.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child. A tutor might spend the session working through past GCSE papers, analysing a specific poem or character, or helping your child plan and structure a high-scoring essay. It's all about what your child needs most.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which most families find works perfectly. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor if your child would benefit from a shorter or longer session.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we have experts in all core academic subjects, we also offer tutoring in a wide range of other skills. You can find tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to public speaking and music theory.
