Why a Strong GCSE English Grade Opens Doors for Your Child
GCSE English isn't just another subject; it's a foundation for your child's future. It's the qualification that colleges and universities look for first. The ability to analyse a quote from 'Macbeth' or write a compelling argument is a skill they'll use in every other subject and throughout their career. A great grade can be the difference that secures their place on a competitive A-Level course and paves the way for a degree from a top local university like Newcastle or Northumbria.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Longbenton High School. Can a tutor help them get the grades for Newcastle Sixth Form College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and know exactly what colleges are looking for. They can work with your child to target the specific skills and knowledge needed to achieve a 'strong pass' or higher, giving them the best possible chance of securing a place on their desired A-Level course.
We're aiming for a competitive university like Newcastle or Northumbria. How can an English tutor help?
A strong foundation in English is crucial for university applications. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and communication skills that top universities value. They can also provide support with personal statements and entrance exams, helping your child's application stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents just like you. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked, and we personally interview each one to verify their expertise and teaching ability. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What if we don't click with the first English tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. 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 online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple, effective, and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to learning. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down big challenges, helping your child see their own progress and believe in their abilities again.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or music?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English and Maths, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding in Python, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor right here.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed for progress. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change many parents notice first, however, is a boost in their child's confidence and attitude towards learning.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
A session is shaped entirely around your child's needs. It might start with a quick review of a school topic, then move on to practising exam techniques for a specific paper, or working through a piece of homework they're stuck on. The tutor will adapt the plan to whatever is most helpful that day.
How do I book our first lesson?
It's easy! Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to introduce yourselves, and then you can book your first session directly from their profile. Many tutors offer a trial session so you can get to know them first.
