Why Strong GCSE English Skills are a Gateway to Their Future

A strong grade in GCSE English is more than just a pass; it's a key that unlocks your child's next steps. The skills they build are essential for almost every A-Level subject and university course. Learning how to analyse a quote from 'Macbeth' or structure a persuasive argument isn't just about the exam – it's about developing the critical thinking and communication skills that top universities and future employers look for. It gives your child the foundation they need to succeed in their studies and beyond.

Finding the right support shouldn't add to your family's stress.

Since the age of 17, I have been teaching Maths, English and the Sciences to members of my family as well as to students of various ages and abilities.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is hoping to get into a competitive sixth form near Cotgrave. Can a tutor help with this?

Absolutely. Many parents in Cotgrave share this goal. An English tutor can help your child master the specific skills needed to achieve the high GCSE grades required by top local sixth forms, focusing on everything from essay technique to exam preparation to give them the best possible chance of securing a place.

We have our sights set on the University of Nottingham. How can an English tutor support this long-term goal?

That's a fantastic ambition. A strong foundation in English is critical for success at A-Level and in university applications. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and writing skills that prestigious universities like Nottingham look for, building their confidence and abilities over time to support their long-term goal.

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

You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.

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

We know that the right fit is essential 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 do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we personally interview them to verify their expertise and teaching ability. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in great hands.

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, giving you the flexibility to find an expert who fits your budget.

How do online lessons actually work?

Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, allowing your child and their tutor to work together just as they would in person. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.

My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?

Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents seek a tutor. A one-to-one setting provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. Our tutors are skilled at building confidence by celebrating small wins and breaking down difficult topics into manageable steps.

What kind of results can we expect?

While every child's journey is different, our approach gets results. 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. The goal is always to help your child feel more confident and capable in their studies.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most students have one lesson per week, as this consistency helps to build momentum and reinforce learning. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.

Do you only offer academic subjects like English?

Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects from the 11+ through to degree level, we also have talented tutors who can help your child learn new hobbies and skills, from playing the guitar to coding in Python.

How do I pay for lessons?

Paying for lessons is simple and secure. Your payment details are stored safely on your account, and you are only charged 24 hours after a lesson has been completed. There are no sign-up fees or hidden costs.
