Why a Strong English GCSE is Key to Your Child's Future
English isn't just another GCSE; it's the foundation for success in higher education and beyond. The ability to analyse complex texts, whether it's a Shakespearean play or a modern poem, and to build a compelling argument is a skill that universities and employers value highly. A top grade in English opens doors to competitive A-Level subjects and is often a key requirement for degree courses in fields like law, history, and journalism, giving your child the best possible start on their chosen path.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends The Highfield School. Can we find a tutor familiar with the GCSE curriculum and expectations?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced teachers and examiners who are very familiar with the AQA, Edexcel, and other exam board specifications used by schools like The Highfield School and Knights Templar. You can view their profiles to see their specific experience and even message them to ask before booking.
We're aiming for top grades to support a future Cambridge application. Can a tutor help with this level of ambition?
Yes. We have many tutors who specialise in helping students achieve the highest grades (7-9) needed for competitive university applications, including to Oxbridge. They can help your child develop the sophisticated analytical and critical thinking skills that top universities look for in subjects like law and humanities.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before you book your first session.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 can I be sure 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, so you can have complete peace of mind.
My child really struggles with confidence in essay writing. How can a tutor help?
This is a very common challenge, and our tutors are brilliant at building confidence. In a one-to-one setting, your child gets a safe space to try out ideas without fear of getting it wrong. The tutor can break down essay writing into simple, manageable steps, providing constant encouragement and positive feedback.
How does online tutoring work? What equipment do we need?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat and an interactive whiteboard. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature GCSEs?
Yes, most of our English tutors are experts in both GCSE English Language and Literature. They can help your child switch between analysing poetry and perfecting their persuasive writing skills, covering all aspects of the curriculum.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set number. Some students need a short burst of lessons to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss your child's goals with the tutor, and they can recommend a plan that works for you. There are no contracts or minimum commitments.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of students improve their academic performance by at least one grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or speak a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their passions.
