Why a Strong English GCSE Opens Doors for Your Child
English isn't just another subject; it's a key that unlocks your child's future. Achieving that crucial grade 5 or above in English Language and Literature is often essential for getting onto the most popular A-Level courses. The skills they develop, from analysing a quote in *Macbeth* to structuring a persuasive essay, are exactly what universities like Keele and Staffordshire look for, giving your child the best possible start.

Carole G
Professional English tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!" Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

John H
Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to The Grove School. Can a tutor help them get into a college in Shrewsbury or Telford?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for competitive post-16 colleges. They can focus on securing the specific GCSE grades needed, like a grade 5 or above in English, to give your child the widest possible choice of A-Level subjects.
We're worried our child might be at a disadvantage applying to universities like Keele or Staffordshire. Can tutoring help?
We understand that concern. A tutor can help level the playing field by building a strong academic foundation and boosting your child's confidence. They'll help develop the analytical and essay-writing skills that universities look for, ensuring your child's application is as strong as it can be.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. 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 goals before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to success.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £20 to £45 per hour, depending on their experience. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. 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 a tutor help my child with their GCSE English exams specifically?
Our tutors are brilliant at demystifying GCSEs. They can break down the mark scheme, practice exam-style questions, and help your child understand exactly what examiners are looking for. Whether it's analysing unseen poetry or structuring their creative writing, the tutor will tailor every session to the areas where your child needs the most support.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has to pass a rigorous application process. We interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How do online lessons actually work?
They take place in our specially designed online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a really engaging and effective way to learn, and it means your child can get expert help without you needing to travel.
Can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Absolutely. For many parents, this is the most important benefit. One-to-one attention from a patient and encouraging tutor can do wonders for a child's self-belief. Celebrating small wins and mastering tricky topics helps them see what they're truly capable of.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. The biggest change you'll likely see first is in your child's confidence and attitude towards their studies.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. So if your child wants to learn guitar, get help with coding, or even learn a new language, we have expert tutors who can help.
What if our family has a really busy schedule?
That's one of the best things about online tutoring. You're not limited to tutors in your immediate area, so you have a much wider choice of available times. You can easily find and schedule lessons that fit around school, clubs, and family commitments.
