Why Strong GCSE English Grades Are Key for Your Child's Future
A strong pass in GCSE English isn't just another qualification; it's a fundamental requirement for almost every path your child might take. It's about more than just analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' or understanding poetry. It’s about developing the crucial skills of clear communication and critical thinking that top sixth forms and universities look for. Achieving those top grades in both English Language and Literature gives your child the best possible chance to secure their place on competitive A-Level courses and build a strong foundation for their future.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
The standards at local schools like Cowbridge Comprehensive are very high. Can a tutor help my child keep up?
Absolutely. A personal tutor can provide the focused attention needed to help your child feel confident and stay on track. They can work at your child's pace, reinforcing classroom learning and addressing any specific topics they find challenging, which helps reduce pressure and build self-esteem.
My child hopes to go to Cardiff University. Can a tutor help them get the required English grades?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in helping students achieve the top GCSE grades needed for entry into competitive universities like Cardiff. They can focus on exam technique, essay writing, and critical analysis to help your child build the skills and confidence to aim for those A or A* grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat to see if they are a good fit before you book. It's all about finding someone your child feels comfortable with.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your budget.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child learns from the best.
How can tutoring help my child if they lack confidence in English?
One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic confidence booster. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions freely without fear of being wrong. Tutors celebrate small wins and help them see their own progress, which can completely change their attitude towards the subject.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature GCSEs?
Yes, most of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both the Language and Literature GCSE curricula. You can see their specific areas of expertise on their profiles, whether your child needs help with creative writing, analysing poetry, or understanding Shakespeare.
What results can I realistically expect from tutoring?
While every child is different, our data shows that private tutoring makes a real impact. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and for GCSEs specifically, we can help students improve by up to two grades, which can be life-changing.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session per week is effective, but you can arrange a schedule that works for you and your child directly with your tutor. It's completely flexible.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can I find tutors for other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, you can find expert tutors to help them explore their passions.
