Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is Key to Your Child's Future
English isn't just another subject; it's the key that unlocks your child's future choices. A strong GCSE grade is often a requirement for the most sought-after A-Level courses at Rochdale Sixth Form College and is essential for applications to competitive universities like Manchester or Leeds. From clearly structuring an essay on 'An Inspector Calls' to analysing complex language in poetry, the skills they build in English are the ones they'll use for the rest of their academic and professional lives.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for Rochdale Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help with that specific goal?
Absolutely. Many parents in Littleborough share that goal. Our tutors can focus on strengthening the specific skills and knowledge your child needs to achieve the GCSE English grade required for their desired A-Level courses, building their confidence for the step up to college.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught at schools like Hollingworth Academy?
Yes. Our tutors are experts in the UK national curriculum and have extensive experience with the AQA, Edexcel, and OCR exam boards used in most English schools. They can tailor lessons to support exactly what your child is learning in class and help them prepare for their specific exams.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important thing.
How much does online English tuition cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £20 to £45 per hour depending on their experience and qualifications. You can filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first 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 a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors can break down tricky topics, celebrate small wins, and show your child what they're capable of, which makes a huge difference.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and has had their ID and references verified by our specialist team.
How do online lessons work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE texts like 'Macbeth' or 'A Christmas Carol'?
Definitely. Our English tutors are experts in the set texts for GCSE. They can help your child explore themes, analyse key quotes, and structure essays to help them feel fully prepared for their exams.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour a week is ideal for steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want to increase the frequency in the run-up to exams or have lessons less often during school holidays. It's entirely up to you and your tutor.
What results can we expect from tutoring?
While every child is different, we have a strong track record of success. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we've helped many students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades, opening up more opportunities for their future.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding, Python, or guitar?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument, master a new language, or dive into coding, you can find expert tutors to support their passions and hobbies.
