Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is So Important
English is more than just a subject; it's a fundamental skill for life. It's the ability to analyse a tricky poem, to structure a compelling essay on 'Macbeth', and to communicate ideas clearly. These are the skills that respected local colleges look for, and they form the bedrock of almost every A-Level subject. A good GCSE grade gives your child the widest possible choice for their next steps, putting them in a strong position to compete for places at universities like the University of Chester and the University of Liverpool.

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.

Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for colleges in Chester?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students meet specific entry requirements. They can focus on the exact areas of the English curriculum your child needs to strengthen to secure their place at their chosen college.
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Chester. Can tutoring help?
Yes. While we often help with A-Level English, many of our tutors can also provide support with university applications, including personal statement writing and interview skills, giving your child the best possible chance of success.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child connects with.

Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds. Many are qualified teachers, examiners, or hold degrees in English from top UK universities. You can view each tutor's specific qualifications and experience on their profile.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, most of our English tutors are experts in both Language and Literature at GCSE and A-Level. You can confirm this by checking their profile or sending them a quick message to discuss your child's specific needs.
