Watching your child navigate the pressures of GCSEs can be tough, especially when you know how much is riding on their results.

Why a Strong English Grade is Key to Your Child's Future
English isn't just another GCSE; it's the foundation for so much more. The ability to analyse a complex text like 'Macbeth' or to build a compelling argument in an essay are the exact skills your child needs for A-Levels and beyond. A strong grade in English Language and Literature doesn't just open doors to the sixth form subjects they want—it equips them with the communication skills needed to write a standout personal statement for competitive universities like Birmingham or Warwick, setting them up for success.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the English grade they need for A-Levels at Great Wyrley High School?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the specific GCSE grades needed for their chosen A-Level pathways. They can focus on the exact areas of the English curriculum your child finds tricky, helping them move from a potential grade 4 or 5 to a 6 or higher.
My child hopes to apply to universities like Birmingham or Warwick. Can a tutor help with their personal statement?
Yes, many of our English tutors have extensive experience in guiding students through the university application process. They can help your child structure their thoughts, articulate their ambitions, and craft a compelling personal statement that truly reflects their strengths and character.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child connects with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 English tutor cost in Great Wyrley?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child to collaborate with their tutor just as they would in person.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can do wonders for a child's confidence. In a safe space where it's okay to ask questions and make mistakes, your child can tackle difficult topics at their own pace, leading to 'aha!' moments that build lasting self-belief.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths directly with your chosen tutor to suit your child's needs.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also see improvements through their growing confidence, their ability to tackle previously difficult topics, and, of course, their school results.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam, while others benefit from weekly sessions throughout the school year. You can discuss a plan with your tutor, with no pressure to commit to a set number of lessons.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have talented tutors who teach practical and creative skills. So whether your child wants to learn to code, play the guitar, or speak a new language, we can help.
