Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is So Important
GCSE English isn't just another subject; it's a core qualification that future employers and educators look for. A strong pass is often essential for your child to move on to their chosen A-Levels or vocational courses. The skills they'll build with a tutor – from analysing a key quote in 'Macbeth' to structuring a persuasive essay – are skills for life. They build confidence in communication and critical thinking, setting your child up for success whatever path they choose.

Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study A-Levels at Ashfield School. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grade?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades needed for their next steps, like A-Levels. They can focus on the specific skills and knowledge required for a Grade 4, 5, or higher in GCSE English to help your child meet the entry requirements for schools like Ashfield.
We're looking at courses at West Nottinghamshire College. How can an English tutor support this goal?
A strong pass in GCSE English is often a key requirement for vocational courses. A tutor can help your child build the foundational literacy and communication skills that colleges look for, ensuring their application is as strong as possible and they're ready for the demands of their chosen course.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to ensure you find someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. 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 easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must pass an interview and have a valid DBS background check before they can teach on our platform.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and supportive space where your child can learn at their own pace. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help students overcome their worries and start to believe in their own abilities.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns differently, but consistency is key. We find that regular lessons make a big impact, which is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, our support can help students improve by up to two grades.
Can we get help with specific parts of the English curriculum, like Shakespeare or poetry?
Yes, definitely. The beauty of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons are completely tailored to your child. If they need to focus on understanding a specific text, analysing poetry, or improving their essay writing, their tutor will create a plan to tackle that exact area.
Is tutoring only for core subjects like English, or can you help with other skills too?
While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
A session usually starts with a quick chat about what your child has been doing in school and any areas they're finding tricky. The tutor will then guide them through explanations, work on practice questions, and review homework, all focused on your child's specific learning goals for that day.
