Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is So Important
GCSE English isn't just another subject; it's a key that unlocks your child's future opportunities. A strong pass is often a non-negotiable entry requirement for the A-Levels they want to study, paving the way for a place at universities like the University of Hull or other top Russell Group institutions. The skills they develop—from analysing quotes in 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument—are the very ones they'll need to thrive in higher education and their future career.

Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grade needed for Wyke College or Wilberforce College?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in the GCSE curriculum and have a fantastic track record of helping students secure the grades they need—often a grade 5 or above—to meet the entry requirements for popular local sixth forms.
My child is hoping to go to the University of Hull. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. Our tutors can help your child develop the advanced English skills needed for A-Levels, which are crucial for a strong university application. They can help with essay writing, critical analysis, and building the confidence needed to succeed in higher education.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to ensure you find the perfect match.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential 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 online English tuition cost in Hull?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has been through a rigorous selection process, including identity and background checks. All lessons are also recorded, giving you complete peace of mind.
How quickly can my child see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored, one-to-one approach is designed for progress. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence.
Do you only offer school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to code, play the guitar, or develop public speaking skills, we have expert tutors who can help them pursue their passions.
Are the tutors qualified to teach GCSE English?
Yes. Many of our tutors are qualified teachers, examiners, or subject matter experts with extensive experience in the GCSE English Language and Literature specifications. You can view their specific qualifications and experience on their profiles.

Life can be busy, we get it. You can easily manage your schedule through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 12 hours' notice if you need to cancel or rearrange a session.

The most common session length is one hour, which gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor to suit your child's needs.
