David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grade they need for New College Pontefract?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students aim for specific grades, like a Grade 5 or above in GCSE English. They can focus on the exact skills and exam techniques needed to help your child meet the entry requirements for colleges like New College Pontefract and feel confident in their application.

My child is worried that not getting a good English grade will affect their university chances. Can a tutor help?

Yes, a strong English GCSE is often a requirement for the A-Level courses that are the pathway to respected northern universities. A tutor can help build a strong foundation in English, ensuring your child not only passes but develops the analytical and communication skills that universities value.

How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?

It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check a tutor's experience. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's goals before booking a lesson to make sure you've found someone you both feel comfortable with.

How much does online English tutoring in Castleford cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget using our search filters. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check. We also personally interview every tutor and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We want to make sure it's the right fit. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with the first tutor you try, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?

Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, there are no silly questions. A tutor can patiently go over topics until your child feels secure, celebrate their small wins, and help them see that they are capable of making real progress.

How do the online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection. It's simple, secure, and effective.

Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects?

Not at all! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects like English, Maths and Science from primary school through to degree level, we also have amazing tutors for hobbies and personal development. Your child could learn a new language, master the guitar, or even get into coding.

How long will my child need tutoring for?

There's no single answer – it really depends on your child's goals. Some students just need a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss this with your chosen tutor, and there are no long-term contracts.

Can a tutor help with specific texts, like 'An Inspector Calls' or Shakespeare?

Yes, definitely. Our English tutors are experts in the curriculum and can provide focused support on specific set texts. They can help your child understand complex themes, analyse key quotes, and structure their essays to earn the best possible marks.

Why should I choose Tutorful?

We're trusted by thousands of parents, with a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. We focus on finding the very best, background-checked tutors and making it easy for you to connect with them.
