Why Strong English Skills are Key to Your Child's Success

A strong grasp of English is more than just a qualification; it's the foundation for success in almost every other subject and future career. It gives your child the tools to analyse complex information, whether it's a difficult poem or a scientific report, and to communicate their ideas clearly and persuasively. These are the exact skills they'll need to achieve that A* at GCSE, excel in their A-Levels, and ultimately thrive in their chosen course at university and beyond.

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can view each tutor's profile, watch their video, read reviews from other parents, and even message them directly to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and a personality that will click with your child.

We know that the right relationship is key to 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 can tutoring help my child build confidence?

One-to-one lessons create a safe, supportive space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As they start to grasp tricky topics and see their skills improve, their confidence naturally grows, and this often has a positive impact on their other subjects too.

Every lesson is tailored to your child. A session might focus on a specific school assignment, practise exam techniques for an upcoming GCSE paper, or work on strengthening a core skill like spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Your tutor will work with you and your child to set goals for each session.

How quickly will I see my child make progress?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our focused, one-to-one approach is designed to get results. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like creative writing?

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to develop their creative writing, learn to code, play the guitar, or practise public speaking, you can find an expert tutor to help them pursue their passion.

Can I track my child's progress?

Yes. You can message your child's tutor at any time to get feedback and discuss their progress. Many tutors also provide session notes and set follow-up tasks to help you stay involved and see how your child is improving.
