Why a Strong English GCSE Opens Doors for Your Child
English isn't just about analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' or understanding poetry; it's the foundation for clear communication and critical thinking. A strong GCSE pass, especially a Grade 5 or above, is often the key that unlocks the door to the best courses at places like Barnsley College and sought-after apprenticeships. It shows employers and admissions tutors that your child can express their ideas clearly and confidently – essential skills for any career path they choose.

Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Barnsley College. Can a tutor help them secure the right English grade?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the specific grades they need for college and apprenticeships. They can focus on the areas of the English curriculum your child finds most challenging to build their skills and confidence ahead of their exams.
My child goes to Kirk Balk Academy. Can a tutor work with their school curriculum?
Yes, they can. A great benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons can be tailored to support what your child is learning at school. You can share what topics they're covering at Kirk Balk, and the tutor can build lessons to reinforce that learning or help them get ahead.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to chat about your child's goals before booking to ensure you find someone you're both comfortable with.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on a tutor's experience, so you can easily find a highly-rated, professional tutor that fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has everything your child needs to learn effectively, including video chat, a shared whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a secure and convenient way for your child to learn from home.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure your child feels comfortable and happy with their tutor. 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.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS background check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How can a tutor help my child if they lack confidence in English?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, tutors help build your child's self-esteem, which often has a positive impact on their results.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most of our students have one lesson per week, as this consistency helps to build momentum. However, the schedule is completely flexible and up to you. You can arrange sessions with your tutor at times that work for your family.
What results can I expect?
We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs specifically, our one-to-one support can help improve your child's results by up to two grades, opening up more opportunities for their future.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to check their availability, and you can book your first session in just a few clicks. Many of our 200,000+ happy students have found a tutor within 24 hours.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're experts in core academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also have brilliant tutors for a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or piano to getting started with coding, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
