A strong English GCSE is more than just a qualification; it’s a foundation for your child's future. It's the skill that helps them analyse a tricky quote from 'Macbeth', structure a persuasive argument, and communicate their ideas clearly. These are exactly the abilities that A-Level providers and universities in Manchester look for. With focused support, we can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades, giving them a much stronger footing for the next step.

The Right English Support for Your Child in Irlam
The right tutor does more than just teach the curriculum; they get to know your child. They'll understand their learning style, pinpoint their specific challenges, and build a genuine rapport that makes learning feel positive. We take this seriously, which is why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from the best, background-checked experts from across the UK. Every lesson is built around your child's needs. If they're finding essay structure difficult for their English Language paper, their tutor can dedicate sessions to mastering it. If a particular poem feels impossible to understand, they can break it down together, step-by-step. This targeted approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Finding the right support shouldn't add to your family's stress. With online tutoring, there's no need to travel. You can find the perfect English tutor and schedule lessons at times that fit around your life. It’s flexible, convenient, and gives your child access to expert help right from your home in Irlam.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Irlam and Cadishead Academy. Can a tutor help them get the grades needed for Salford City College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the specific GCSE grades needed for college entry. They can focus on the exact areas of the English curriculum your child needs to strengthen to meet the requirements for A-Level pathways at colleges like Salford City College or Winstanley College.
We're worried about the step up to A-Levels. Can a tutor help with that transition?
Yes, they can. A tutor can help bridge the gap between GCSE and A-Level English by introducing your child to the more advanced analytical and essay-writing skills they'll need. This can make the transition feel much smoother and more manageable.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific goals. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. 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 an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has undergone a thorough background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to ensure the highest quality and safety.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one lessons create a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. As they start to understand difficult topics and see their marks improve, their self-belief and confidence naturally grow.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach a wide range of other skills. From learning to code in Python to mastering the guitar or learning a new language, there's a huge variety to explore.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can start very quickly. Many tutors can offer a lesson within a few days of you getting in touch. Just find a tutor you like and send them a message to arrange a time that works for you both.
How many students have used Tutorful?
You're in good company! Over 200,000 happy students have used Tutorful to achieve their learning goals. We're proud to have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 customer reviews.
