Why Strong English Grades Are So Important for Their Future
English isn't just another GCSE; it's the foundation for success in almost every other subject. The ability to analyse a complex text, structure a persuasive essay, or articulate a clear argument are essential skills for competitive A-Levels, a standout university application, and future careers. Our tutors focus on these core skills, helping your child master everything from poetry analysis to creative writing. In fact, we can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades, building the confidence and ability they need to take their next steps.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
The local schools in Chester are very competitive. Can we find a tutor experienced in helping students aim for top grades?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in helping students move beyond a 'pass' to achieve the highest grades needed for competitive A-Level courses and sixth forms. You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience and success stories.
My child is hoping to apply to a Russell Group university like Liverpool or Manchester. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, they can. Strong English skills are vital for a compelling personal statement and for the demands of degree-level study. Our tutors can help your child develop the advanced analytical and writing skills that top universities look for.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and even message them for free before booking. It's all about finding someone your child connects with and who has the right experience for their goals.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work together just as they would in person.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space works wonders for confidence. When your child has a safe place to ask questions without fear of judgement, they start to believe in their own abilities. This boost in self-esteem often leads to better engagement and results in the classroom too.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we are very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform. You can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
My child struggles with specific areas like poetry analysis. Can a tutor focus on that?
Definitely. That's the main benefit of one-to-one tutoring. The tutor can dedicate entire lessons to specific topics your child finds tricky, whether it's unseen poetry, creative writing, or understanding complex characters in a novel.
What results can we expect from English tutoring?
We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSE English, our tailored support can help students improve by up to two grades, making a real difference to their future options.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most parents find that a weekly session works best to build momentum and keep learning consistent, but you can arrange a schedule that works for your child with your chosen tutor.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer expert support for all academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or even master a new language.
