Why a Strong English Grade is Key for Your Child's Future
A top grade in English isn't just another qualification; it's a key that unlocks doors. For many competitive local colleges and sixth forms, a strong pass in GCSE English Language is a must-have. It gives your child the communication and analytical skills they'll need for their A-Levels and beyond, paving the way for a place at a great northern university. Whether they're breaking down a quote from 'Macbeth' or developing a persuasive argument, these are the skills that will help them stand out.

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
We're aiming for Heckmondwike Grammar School. Can a tutor help with the English entrance exam?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for 11+ and grammar school entrance exams. You can filter for tutors with this expertise and discuss your child's specific needs with them directly.
My child is worried about getting the GCSE English grades needed for Greenhead College. Can we find a specialist?
Of course. We have a huge number of experienced GCSE English tutors who are experts in the curriculum. They can help your child focus on the exact areas they need to improve, from exam technique to understanding the mark scheme, to help them feel confident about their results.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's goals. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to success.
How much does online English tutoring cost in Kirklees?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £50 depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can use the search filters to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
My child has lost their confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild that self-belief, one lesson at a time.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is 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 do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every single applicant. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might work through a past paper with your child, help them plan an essay, or use interactive tools to explain a difficult concept.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child’s progress and see how they're getting on. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's attitude towards a subject first.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want to increase the frequency in the run-up to an exam. It’s a conversation you can have with your tutor.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
It's for much more than just school work! We have expert tutors who can teach your child skills like playing the guitar, coding in Python, learning a new language, or even public speaking. It's a great way to support their hobbies and personal development.
Is online tutoring really as effective as in-person?
Yes, and many families find it even more effective. With online tutoring, your child can access the best tutors from across the UK, not just your local area. Plus, with interactive tools and the ability to re-watch lessons, it's a focused and convenient way to learn.
