Why Strong English Grades Are So Important
English isn't just another GCSE; it's a fundamental skill that underpins almost every other subject. Excelling in English means your child can communicate their ideas clearly and persuasively. Whether they're analysing quotes from 'Macbeth', structuring a powerful essay, or simply understanding complex texts, these skills are vital for success at A-Level and are highly valued by Russell Group universities. A strong English grade doesn't just look good on an application—it gives your child the tools to thrive in their future studies.

Hello and welcome! My name is Raquel and I look forward to meeting you soon. In the meantime, allow me to share with you why I choose to tutor: Mixed memories of middle school and college spring to mind.

Ready to sit in class with fellow classmates, ready to take home homework, planning and organising assignments.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to Exeter College. Can a tutor help them secure the top GCSE English grades they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students aim for grades 7, 8, and 9. They can focus specifically on the exam board your child's school uses, working on essay technique, text analysis, and exam strategy to help them achieve the results needed for competitive sixth forms and colleges.
We live in Budleigh Salterton and are aiming for a Russell Group university like Exeter. Can you help with this long-term goal?
Yes, we can. Strong GCSE grades are the foundation for a competitive university application. By helping your child master English now, a tutor can build the analytical and communication skills they'll need for A-Levels and for writing a compelling personal statement when the time comes.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and read reviews from thousands of other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked using an enhanced DBS check. We also personally interview and vet every tutor, accepting only 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the very best.
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.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can expect to pay between £25 and £45 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive environment makes a huge difference. When a child feels heard and understood, they're more likely to ask questions and take risks. Our tutors are experts at celebrating small wins and breaking down big challenges, which is fantastic for building self-esteem.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed for progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. We know our methods work, as 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
A session is usually tailored to what your child is covering in school that week or a specific area they need to improve. It could involve going over a tricky poem, planning an essay structure, practising exam questions, or working on grammar and punctuation.
How do I book and pay for lessons?
It's all handled securely through our platform. Once you've chosen a tutor, you can schedule lessons at times that suit you. Payments are processed safely online after each lesson is complete, so there's no need for cash or awkward conversations.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're experts in core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have fantastic tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or even speak a new language, all with our trusted tutors.
