Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is Key for Your Child's Future
GCSE English isn't just another subject; it's a core qualification that underpins almost every other A-Level and career path. The skills your child develops—from analysing a quote in 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument—are exactly what top colleges and universities like the University of Nottingham look for. A great grade in English Language and Literature gives them the best possible chance to pursue the A-Levels they're passionate about and keeps their future options wide open.

Paul M
Excellent English tutor
Maths is pure hell for some. It was for me as a young boy and I thought that because I didn't get the answers right it meant that I was no good.I didn't understand numbers, the vocabulary used for the abstract nature of maths and it left me feeling bereft of confidence. I am glad nowadays maths is taught in a more simpler fashion and I am proof that if maths is accessible in the right way, is fun and more importantly the fear factor is removed then anyone can prosper. That is how I like to approach maths and I feel that it is a fantastic way to enjoy, and dare I say it... love the subject.I am...

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to Bilborough College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. That's a very common goal for parents we work with. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades needed for entry into popular sixth forms and colleges. They can focus specifically on the GCSE curriculum, exam technique, and confidence-building to help your child meet the entry requirements.
Are the tutors qualified to help with applications to competitive universities like the University of Nottingham?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience guiding students through the university application process. Beyond subject-specific help, they can offer support with personal statements and developing the analytical skills that top universities look for in their applicants.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Finding the right person is all about fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to make sure you find the perfect match.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their tutor?
We want to make sure your child feels comfortable and happy with their tutor. 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 prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child just needs a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check before they can start teaching. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How quickly can we expect to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our one-to-one approach is designed to make a real impact. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. For grades, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade level.
Can a tutor help my child feel more confident about English?
Definitely. Confidence is often the biggest hurdle. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions they might not ask in class. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help build self-belief that extends far beyond the subject itself.
What happens in a typical one-to-one English lesson?
A lesson is tailored to your child's needs. It could start with a quick review of the last session, then move on to tackling a specific area they find tricky, like understanding Shakespearean language or structuring an essay. The tutor will use the interactive whiteboard to work through examples together.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than English?
Yes, we do! We have expert tutors for over 300 subjects, from core academic subjects like Maths and Science to skills like learning the guitar, coding in Python, or even public speaking. You can find support for all of your child's interests on our platform.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payment is simple and secure. You add your card details to your account, and payment is taken automatically 24 hours after each completed lesson. You can view all your scheduled lessons and payment history right from your dashboard.
