Opening Doors for Your Child with GCSE English

English is more than just a subject; it's a fundamental skill for life. A strong pass in GCSE English doesn't just mean your child can analyse quotes from 'An Inspector Calls' – it shows they can communicate clearly, think critically, and understand complex ideas. It’s often the first qualification colleges and employers look for, acting as the key that unlocks the door to apprenticeships, further education, and a wider choice of careers.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child hopes to go to Barnsley College. Can a tutor help them secure the GCSE English grade they need?

Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve their target grades. They can focus specifically on the skills and knowledge needed to secure a Grade 4 or higher, giving your child the best chance of meeting the entry requirements for their chosen course.

My child goes to Astrea Academy Dearne. Can a tutor work with their school curriculum?

Yes, definitely. Our tutors can tailor their lessons to the specific exam board, texts, and curriculum your child is following at school. This ensures the tutoring directly supports their classroom learning and prepares them effectively for their exams.

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

You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have to say. Many tutors offer a free introductory chat, which is a great way to see if their teaching style is a good match for your child before you book a lesson.

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

We know how important the right fit is. 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 online lessons work?

Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.

How can I be sure the tutors are safe?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must have a valid DBS check or equivalent. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

How can tutoring help my child build confidence?

One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. When they start to understand difficult topics and see their grades improve, their self-belief and confidence grow naturally.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most students have one hour-long lesson per week, but this is completely flexible. You can discuss your child's goals with your chosen tutor to agree on a schedule that works best for your family.

Do you only offer academic subjects like English?

Not at all! While we have expert tutors for all core subjects, we also have tutors for a huge range of skills and hobbies, from learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish to coding in Python.

How quickly can we start?

You can get started very quickly. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message, and you could be having your first lesson within a couple of days.

Are the lessons recorded?

Yes, all lessons are recorded. This is a great feature for safeguarding and also means your child can re-watch their sessions anytime to help with revision or go over tricky topics again.
