Why GCSE English is the Key to Your Child's Next Steps
A strong GCSE English grade is more than just a requirement; it's a foundation for success. It shows colleges and universities that your child can think critically, communicate their ideas clearly, and build a compelling argument. These are the exact skills they'll need, whether they're analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' in an exam or, later on, writing a personal statement for a place at a top university like Exeter. It’s a qualification that keeps their future options wide open.

They’ll take the time to understand your child's unique learning style, pinpointing exactly where they need a bit of extra help and building a genuine, supportive relationship that helps their confidence grow. Every one-to-one lesson is built around your child's specific goals. If they're struggling with poetry analysis or need to refine their essay structure, that's what the session will focus on.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to go to Exeter College. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Cullompton come to us. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target specific grades needed for college entry. They can focus on exam technique, curriculum weak spots, and building confidence to help your child achieve the results they need for their first-choice A-Level courses.
We're aiming for a Russell Group university like Exeter. How can an English tutor support this long-term goal?
A great English tutor helps build foundational skills that are vital for university-level study. They'll help your child develop critical thinking, sophisticated analysis, and clear communication skills that go beyond the GCSE curriculum, preparing them for the demands of A-Levels and helping them stand out in their university applications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ensure they're the perfect fit for your child's needs.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts.
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 do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn one-to-one with their tutor.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, so you can feel completely confident in your choice.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to progress. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics helps them see they really can succeed.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored, one-to-one approach is designed for progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Can tutoring help with specific texts like Shakespeare or poetry?
Yes, definitely. Tutors can dedicate entire sessions to breaking down difficult texts, whether it's understanding the language in 'Macbeth' or analysing the themes in 'An Inspector Calls'. This focused attention is often exactly what's needed to turn a confusing topic into a strength.
Is Tutorful only for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, speak Spanish, or even get started with coding.
What if my child's schedule is already really busy?
That's the great thing about online tutoring. You're not limited by location, so you have a much wider choice of tutors available at different times. You can easily find someone who can schedule lessons around school, sports, and other commitments, taking the stress out of getting extra help.
