Why a Top Grade in English Opens Doors for Your Child
A strong GCSE English grade is more than just a qualification; it's the key that unlocks your child's future choices. It's essential for getting into competitive A-Level courses and is highly valued by universities, from the University of Hertfordshire to those in London and beyond. The skills they'll sharpen – like analysing a quote from 'Macbeth' or structuring a persuasive essay – are the same skills they'll need for success in higher education and their future career.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to apply to a competitive university like the University of Hertfordshire. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students build the analytical and writing skills needed for strong university applications. They can help your child articulate their ideas clearly, which is a huge advantage for personal statements and future essays.
We're aiming for top grades to get into A-Levels at schools like The Broxbourne School. Can tutors focus on this?
Yes, this is a very common goal for families we work with. Tutors can create a learning plan specifically designed to target the higher grades (7-9) in GCSE English, focusing on the specific skills examiners look for to help your child's application stand out.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial for building confidence. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to ask any specific questions you have about how they can help your child.
How much does an online English tutor in Hoddesdon cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. This transparency allows you to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your own home.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down tricky topics, which helps build self-esteem lesson by lesson.
Can tutoring help my child with specific texts, like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Definitely. Tutors can provide focused support on the specific books, plays, and poems your child is studying for their exams. They can help them dive deeper into character motivations, themes, and historical context to improve their analysis.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Most sessions are an hour long, and most families opt for one session per week. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange session length and frequency directly with your tutor to create a schedule that works best for your child's needs.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about what they enjoy in English, what they find difficult, and what their goals are. This helps the tutor tailor future lessons specifically to your child.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with core subjects for their GCSEs and A-Levels, we also have expert tutors for music, coding, learning a new language, and much more. It's all about helping your child pursue their passions.
