Opening Doors with a Strong English Qualification

It's the ability to analyse a quote from 'Macbeth', structure a persuasive argument, and communicate ideas clearly. These are the skills colleges and employers look for. For many students at schools like Brynmawr Foundation School, achieving a Grade 4 or higher in GCSE English is a non-negotiable step towards A-Levels and apprenticeships. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade, with our GCSE students often improving by up to two grades.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to apply for a course at Coleg Gwent. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. This is a very common goal for parents we work with. Our tutors are experienced in helping students focus on the specific skills needed to achieve a Grade 4 or higher in GCSE English, which is often a key entry requirement for courses at colleges like Coleg Gwent.
We live in Brynmawr. Does it matter that the tutor isn't local?
Not at all. The great thing about online tutoring is that your child can connect with the very best English tutors from across the UK, not just those nearby. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists who can match your child's specific learning style and goals, all from the comfort of your home.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We understand that the right personal connection is key to successful learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer help with academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, we have expert tutors who can help.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors who seem like a good fit and sending them a message to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically range from £25 to £45 per hour, depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
My child's confidence in English is very low. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a safe, supportive space, your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Tutors are brilliant at breaking down difficult topics, celebrating small wins, and gradually building your child's self-belief.
How do the online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn face-to-face with their tutor, no matter where they are.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long session per week is ideal for making steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent sessions during exam periods or less frequent lessons for general support, whatever works best for your child and your schedule.
How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our absolute priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS background check. We also interview our tutors and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, professional hands.
Can a tutor really help improve my child's GCSE grade?
Yes, absolutely. Focused, one-to-one support can make a huge difference. Tutors can help your child with exam technique, revision strategies, and understanding the mark scheme. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we've helped many GCSE students improve by up to two grades.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about what they find difficult in English, what they enjoy, and what their goals are. This helps the tutor create a tailored learning plan that will work for them.
