Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is Key for Your Child's Future
English isn't just about analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' or structuring an essay; it's the foundation for so much more. A solid Grade 5 or above in GCSE English is often the key that unlocks the door to their chosen A-Levels and builds the critical thinking skills needed for competitive university courses at places like Leicester or Warwick. It gives them the confidence to express their ideas clearly, a skill they'll use for the rest of their lives.

Flora I
Flora is a very patient, professional and well-prepared tutor. She always explains things clearly and teaches my son how to answer GCSE questions in a structured way. She provides homework, goes through mistakes carefully, and shows him how to improve his answers step by step. She also adjusts her teaching according to my son’s exam boards and level. My son is less anxious about English now and is slowly gaining confidence. We are very happy with her support and would definitely recommend her.
She is especially good at supporting students who are weaker in English and need clear guidance and structure.

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to NWSLC or Heath Lane Academy. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many parents in Earl Shilton share this goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the Grade 5s and above needed for post-16 places. They can focus specifically on the GCSE curriculum, helping your child build skills and confidence to get the results they need for their chosen path.
We're hoping for a university like Leicester or Warwick. How can an English tutor help with that long-term goal?
That's a fantastic ambition. A strong foundation in English is crucial for success in many A-Levels and for writing a compelling personal statement. A tutor can help your child develop the analytical and essay-writing skills that top universities look for, starting with securing an excellent GCSE grade.
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. Think about your child's personality and learning style – are they quiet and in need of gentle encouragement, or do they thrive on energetic debate? Finding the right match is key.
How much does an online English tutor cost in Earl Shilton?
Our tutors set their own prices, so there's a wide range to suit different budgets. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an experienced, affordable tutor without any hidden costs.
How can tutoring really help my child's confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. When a tutor helps them finally grasp a tricky concept, that 'aha!' moment is a huge confidence booster that carries over into the classroom.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is everything. 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 you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has been through an identity check and has a valid DBS background check. We also interview every applicant and are very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 who apply to our platform.
How can a tutor help my child improve their GCSE English grade specifically?
Our tutors are experts in the GCSE syllabus. They can help your child break down exam questions, improve their essay structure, analyse texts effectively, and manage their time in an exam. This targeted support is why many of our students improve their final GCSE grade by up to two grades.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. Your child and their tutor can work through exam papers, analyse texts, and plan essays together in real-time, just as they would in person.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long session per week is ideal for making steady progress without feeling overwhelmed. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent sessions in the run-up to an exam or less frequent ones for general support – whatever works best for your child.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have expert tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child can learn practical skills like coding or a new language, or even take up a hobby like guitar or singing.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today! Simply browse our tutors, send a message to the ones you like, and you can often book your first session for within a few days. Many parents are surprised by how quick and easy it is to find the perfect support for their child.
