These are the skills that will help them secure a place on their chosen A-Level courses at Bolton Sixth Form College, and eventually stand out in applications for competitive universities like the University of Manchester.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Bolton Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them get the required English GCSE grade?
Absolutely. Many parents in Bolton share this goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades they need for their next step. They can focus specifically on the GCSE curriculum, exam technique, and confidence-building to help your child achieve a grade 5 or above.
We live in Bolton, are the tutors also local?
Because our lessons are online, your child can connect with the very best English tutors from across the UK, not just in Bolton. This gives you a much wider choice of experts, so you can find the perfect match for your child's personality and learning style.
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 experience. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's goals. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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 you ensure tutors are safe to work with children?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must all provide a valid DBS check. We are very selective, with only 1 in every 8 applicants making it onto our platform, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does an online 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, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can tutoring help my child if they've lost their confidence?
Confidence is often the biggest barrier to progress. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too embarrassed to ask in class. Tutors provide constant encouragement, celebrating small wins and building their self-belief week by week.
How quickly will we see an improvement in their English results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our focused, one-to-one approach is designed for progress. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade, and we can help your child improve their GCSE results by up to two grades.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons are tailored to your child, but they might involve working on an interactive whiteboard to plan an essay, analysing a poem together, or practising specific grammar rules. The sessions are engaging and focused on the areas where your child needs the most help.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection. It's simple, secure, and very effective.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we cover all academic subjects from primary to university level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or develop their creative writing, we can help.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Some students have a weekly lesson to stay on top of their schoolwork, while others might just want a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
