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.

Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

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.
