Why a Strong English GCSE is Key to Your Child's Future
English is more than just a subject; it's the key that unlocks your child's future choices. A strong pass isn't just about understanding Shakespeare's *Macbeth* or analysing poetry – it’s about developing the critical thinking and communication skills essential for any A-Level course or career path. A great grade in English Language and Literature gives your child the best possible start, giving them the confidence and qualifications to pursue their ambitions, whether that's in Cornwall or further afield.

One-to-One English Support to Help Your Child Thrive
We believe the best learning happens when it’s personal. That’s why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from the best. An expert English tutor gets to know your child as an individual – how they learn, where they get stuck, and what makes them tick. This personal connection helps build their confidence and creates a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in a busy classroom. Every lesson is built around your child's specific needs. If they’re finding essay structure tricky or need to improve their analysis of quotes for their GCSEs, their tutor will focus the session entirely on that. This targeted approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. It’s effective, focused support designed to help your child make real, noticeable progress. Finding the right support shouldn't add to your stress. With our trusted online platform, you can find the perfect, background-checked English tutor for your child in minutes. Lessons take place online from the comfort of your home, fitting easily around your family’s schedule in Bodmin. It’s a simple, flexible way to give your child the support they need to succeed.

Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Bodmin College. Can a tutor help them get the grades needed for A-Levels at Truro and Penwith College?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for many parents we help. Our tutors are experienced in the GCSE curriculum and can focus specifically on the skills and knowledge your child needs to secure a Grade 5 or higher, giving them the best chance of accessing their desired A-Level courses.
We're hoping for a place at a competitive university like Exeter or Plymouth. Can an English tutor help with this long-term goal?
Yes. A strong foundation in English is critical for university applications, including personal statements and interviews. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and communication skills that top universities look for, starting with their GCSEs and continuing through A-Levels.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a lesson to ensure you find the perfect match.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know 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.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space 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 lack confidence in English?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, tutors create a supportive environment where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-belief, which often has a huge impact on their grades.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE texts, like Shakespeare or poetry?
Definitely. Many of our English tutors are specialists in the GCSE curriculum and can provide expert guidance on specific texts, from analysing characters in *An Inspector Calls* to understanding the themes in poetry anthologies. They can tailor lessons to exactly what your child is studying in school.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored, one-to-one approach is designed for progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Is tutoring only for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language. It's all about changing lives through learning, whatever the subject.
What happens in a typical one-hour English lesson?
A typical lesson starts with the tutor checking in on your child's progress and goals. They might review homework, work through a specific challenge like essay planning or analysing a poem, and then set some practice questions. The entire session is interactive and focused on your child's individual needs.
