Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is Key to Your Child's Future
GCSE English is more than just another subject; it’s a core qualification that opens doors. The ability to analyse a complex quote from 'Macbeth' or structure a persuasive argument is a skill that colleges and universities value highly. A strong pass, like a Grade 5 or 6, is often essential for entry into competitive local colleges like Bolton Sixth Form or Runshaw College. It broadens their A-Level choices and builds a stronger foundation for future ambitions, including applications to top universities like the University of Manchester. In fact, our focused support can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.

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.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Bolton Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. This is a very common goal for parents we work with. Our tutors can focus specifically on the skills needed to achieve a Grade 5, 6 or higher in GCSE English, targeting areas like essay analysis and exam technique to strengthen your child's application.
With the high standards of local schools like Bolton School, can I find a tutor experienced with helping students aim for top grades?
Yes. Many of our tutors are highly experienced in helping students strive for top grades (7-9). You can view each tutor's profile to see their specific experience, including their success with students from high-achieving academic backgrounds.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. Look for someone whose teaching style and experience match your child's personality and specific English needs.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If the first lesson isn't quite right, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor. It's that simple.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a secure and effective way to learn one-to-one from the comfort of your home.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our UK-based tutors undergoes a thorough background check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can tutoring help my child's confidence in English?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest hurdle. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to make mistakes and ask questions without fear of judgement. This personalised encouragement from a dedicated tutor can make a world of difference to their self-belief.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, definitely. Most of our English tutors are experts in both and can switch between them as needed. You can discuss your child's specific requirements with the tutor to create a plan that covers everything from analysing poetry to mastering persuasive writing.
How many lessons will my child need to see an improvement?
Every child is different, but consistency is key. Many parents find that weekly lessons help build momentum and confidence. You can discuss a learning plan with your chosen tutor who can give you a better idea based on your child's specific goals.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens! We have a simple 24-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can cancel or reschedule a lesson without any charge.
Is this just for academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we're experts in core subjects like English and Maths, we also have amazing tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor for it here.
