Why a Strong English Grade is Key to Your Child's Next Steps
English is more than just another subject; it's the foundation for so much of your child's future success. From analysing quotes in 'Macbeth' to building a persuasive argument, the skills they learn are essential for almost any path they choose. A strong GCSE pass is often a non-negotiable requirement for A-Level courses at colleges like Hugh Baird, and it's a skill that top universities, including the University of Liverpool, look for. We've seen how targeted support can help, with specialist tutors able to improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study A-Levels at Hugh Baird College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Bootle come to us. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the GCSE grades they need to progress to their chosen A-Level courses. They can focus specifically on the exam board your child's school uses and work on the areas needed to boost their grade.
We're hoping for the University of Liverpool. How can an English tutor support this long-term goal?
A tutor can build a strong foundation right from the start. For a competitive university, strong communication and analytical skills are vital. A tutor can help your child develop these through their GCSE and A-Level English studies, ensuring they not only get the grades but also build the confidence and skills needed for university-level work.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. This helps you find someone your child will connect with.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your budget.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have a 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 can a tutor help my child with their confidence in English?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. A tutor can celebrate small wins, break down difficult topics into manageable steps, and show them that they are capable of succeeding.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has been interviewed by our team. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is important. 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.
Can my child get help with specific texts, like Shakespeare or poetry?
Yes, definitely. Our English tutors can provide focused support on any area of the curriculum, whether it's understanding 'An Inspector Calls', analysing unseen poetry, or getting to grips with Shakespearean language for their exams.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we're well known for academic subjects like English and Maths, we also have brilliant tutors for a whole range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find a tutor for it here.
Can a tutor help my child if they have fallen behind at school?
Yes, this is a great way to use tutoring. A one-to-one tutor can identify the specific gaps in your child's knowledge and create a plan to help them catch up at a comfortable pace, rebuilding their confidence along the way.
