Why Strong English Grades Matter for Your Child's Future
A strong grade in GCSE English isn't just another qualification; it's a key that opens doors. It’s essential for getting into competitive local sixth forms and is highly respected by top institutions like Lancaster University. More than that, the skills your child develops—from analysing a quote from 'An Inspector Calls' to writing a persuasive essay—are skills for life. They build clear communication and critical thinking, which are vital for any career path they choose.

The Right English Support, Right When Your Child Needs It
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a connection with your child. By understanding their unique learning style and where they're struggling, they can create a supportive partnership that builds real confidence. We help you find that person by only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from the best. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific needs. If they find algebra tricky, their tutor can spend time breaking it down. If they're finding it hard to get to grips with Shakespeare, their tutor can find new ways to make it engaging. This focused support is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade – for GCSEs, that can be a jump of up to two grades. Finding time for extra support can be a challenge, but our online lessons make it simple. You can connect with the perfect English tutor from the comfort of your home in Heysham, scheduling sessions at times that fit around your family's life. It's flexible, convenient, and designed to help your child succeed without adding to your stress.

David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at a Lancaster grammar school. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for the high standards of grammar school entrance. They can work with your child to build the core English skills, exam technique, and confidence needed to perform their best in a competitive environment.
My child hopes to study at Lancaster University. How can English tutoring support this?
Strong grades in subjects like English Language and Literature are crucial for applications to respected universities like Lancaster. A tutor can help your child master the curriculum, refine their essay writing, and develop the analytical skills needed to achieve the top grades that will make their application stand out.
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 about them. We recommend watching their introduction video and sending a message to a few tutors to find someone your child will get on with. It’s all about finding the right personality fit.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
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 can an online tutor help my child with their GCSE English exams?
Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum. They can create a tailored revision plan focusing on your child's weaker areas, whether it's poetry analysis or creative writing. This one-to-one attention is proven to work – we can help improve your child’s GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have been interviewed by our team and have passed a background check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's simple to use and allows your child and their tutor to work together just as they would in person.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have tutors for all core academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language.
Can my child get help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both GCSE English Language and Literature. They can help your child balance the demands of both subjects, from understanding poetic techniques to mastering persuasive writing.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
We know that life can be busy. If you need to reschedule, you can do so by giving your tutor notice as per their cancellation policy (usually 24 hours). You can arrange a new time that works for both of you through our platform.
