Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is So Important

A strong pass in GCSE English is more than just a grade; it's a passport to your child's next step. It's the qualification colleges like Lakes College look for and the foundation for A-Level study. The skills they'll build with a tutor – from analysing a poem to structuring a persuasive essay – are the exact skills they'll need for future success, whether they're aiming for a skilled apprenticeship or a degree from the University of Cumbria. We know 90% of students improve by at least one grade with us, which can be the difference-maker.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can a tutor help my child get the English grade they need for Lakes College?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the specific grades needed for college entry. They can focus on the GCSE English curriculum to build your child's skills and confidence, aiming for that all-important Grade 5 or above.

My child attends Netherhall School. Can a tutor support their specific work?

Yes. Our tutors can work with your child's current schoolwork. You can share what they're studying at Netherhall School, and the tutor will create a personalised plan to support them, fill any knowledge gaps, and help them get ahead.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read their bios, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.

What if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That’s why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and has their ID and background checked before they can teach on our platform. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.

How do online lessons work?

Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child to learn and collaborate with their tutor from the comfort of your home.

Can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence?

Absolutely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. A tutor creates a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions and work at their own pace, which can make a huge difference to their self-belief.

What results can we expect from tutoring?

Our goal is to help your child feel more confident and make real academic progress. We know that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and for GCSEs, this can be by as much as two grades. It's a journey we're on with you and your child.

How often should my child have lessons?

Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works best, as it builds momentum and gives your child time to practise between sessions. However, it's completely flexible and you can arrange a schedule that works for you with your tutor.

How quickly can we get started?

You can get started very quickly. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you could have your first lesson booked in just a few hours.

Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than English?

We do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects. So whether your child needs help with Maths or Science, or wants to learn a new skill like coding or playing the guitar, you can find the right support on Tutorful.
