Why a Strong English Grade is a Gateway to Your Child's Future

GCSE English isn't just another subject; it's a fundamental qualification that underpins almost every future path. It's the key that unlocks A-Level choices, strengthens university applications, and makes your child stand out to apprenticeship providers. The skills they build – from analysing a complex quote in 'Macbeth' to structuring a persuasive essay – are the same skills they'll need for success in further education and their future career. A great grade here gives them the best possible start.

Personalised English Support That Builds Confidence and Grades

We know you want the best for your child, which is why we're so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. The right tutor takes the time to understand your child as an individual – how they learn, what they find tricky, and what motivates them. They'll create a supportive partnership that moves at your child's pace, turning 'I can't do this' into 'I understand'. Every lesson is built around your child's specific needs. If they're struggling with poetry, the session will focus on that. If they need to practise exam technique, their tutor will guide them through it. This tailored approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, with many GCSE students improving by up to two grades – making that target of a Grade 5 or higher much more achievable. With our simple online platform, finding that perfect, background-checked tutor is easy. You can arrange lessons that fit around your family's busy schedule, without any extra travel. It's high-quality, flexible support that works for you, helping your child join the 200,000+ students who have found success with Tutorful.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child wants to apply to The Robert Clack School for sixth form. Can a tutor help them get the required English grade?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and have a great track record of helping students secure the grades needed for their first-choice sixth form. They can focus on the specific skills and exam techniques your child needs to achieve a Grade 5 or above.

Are your tutors familiar with the curriculum used in Dagenham schools?

Yes, our tutors are experienced in teaching the national curriculum for England. They can tailor lessons to align with what your child is learning at school, helping to reinforce classroom topics and fill in any gaps in their understanding.

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

You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Look for someone whose teaching style and experience match your child's needs and personality. A good connection is key to building confidence.

How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget. All costs are clearly shown on the tutors' profiles, so there are no hidden surprises.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.

How can tutoring help my child's confidence?

One-to-one tuition provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in class. As their understanding grows, so does their self-belief. This boost in confidence often has a positive effect on their other subjects too.

How quickly will we see an improvement in their English grade?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach gets results. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Consistent weekly lessons can make a significant difference in just a few months, especially when targeting a specific grade like a 5 in GCSE English.

What happens in a typical English lesson?

A tutor will usually start by checking in on what your child has been doing at school. They'll then work on a specific area you've agreed on, whether that's analysing a poem, planning an essay, or improving grammar. The sessions are interactive and tailored to keep your child engaged.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're experts in academic support for things like GCSEs and A-Levels, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach practical skills like coding, learning a musical instrument, or even a new language.

How do I pay for lessons?

Payments are simple and secure. Once a lesson is complete, payment is automatically taken from the card you have on file. You can easily track all your lessons and payments from your Tutorful account.
