Why a Strong English Grade is a Gateway to Your Child's Future
A strong pass in English isn't just another qualification; it's a fundamental requirement for so many of your child's next steps. Most respected A-Level and vocational courses, including those at Middlesbrough College, require at least a Grade 4 in English. The skills they develop, whether it's analysing a quote from 'Macbeth' or crafting a persuasive essay, are the same critical thinking and communication skills that universities and local employers look for. It’s the foundation for their success.

Ben has been a great tutor for my 16 year old doing his English GCSEs. Ben's tuition has improved my son's grade from a 4 up to between a 5-8, depending on the topic, in just a few months. He has also hugely improved his confidence, and his writing ability in other subjects such as History has improved as well. Ben has a relaxed, respectful and friendly approach that my son has really gotten on with, and he is enjoying feeling more confident for his English Language and Literature exams this year. I highly recommend Ben for your child's tuition.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at Middlesbrough College. Can a tutor help them secure the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. Our English tutors are experienced in helping students target the specific skills needed to secure a Grade 4 or above, giving them the best chance of meeting the entry requirements for courses at Middlesbrough College and other institutions.
How can an online tutor understand the curriculum my child is following in their Middlesbrough school?
Our tutors are experts in the UK national curriculum and specific exam boards (like AQA and Edexcel). During your first chat, you can discuss the exact syllabus and topics your child's school is covering, so the tutor can tailor their lessons perfectly to what your child is learning.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect match. Think about your child’s personality and learning style – are they shy and need a gentle confidence-booster, or do they need someone to challenge them with advanced concepts? Finding the right fit is key.
How much does an English tutor in Middlesbrough cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees, so you always know exactly what you’ll be paying.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English 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 do you make sure the tutors are safe and professional?
Your child's safety is our highest priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS background check. We also interview every tutor and are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost all their confidence in English?
This is where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A tutor provides a safe, patient space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild your child’s self-belief, one lesson at a time.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your own home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour a week works well for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want to arrange more sessions in the run-up to an exam or less frequent lessons for a general confidence boost. You can discuss what’s best with your tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. From learning to play the guitar or piano to mastering coding languages like Python, we have expert tutors who can help your child explore their passions and develop new talents.
My child struggles with exam technique, not just the subject itself. Can a tutor help?
Yes, definitely. Many of our tutors are experts in exam preparation. They can teach your child how to understand the questions, structure their answers, manage their time effectively, and handle exam-day nerves – all crucial skills for achieving their best grade.
How many other students have used Tutorful?
Your child will be in good company! We've helped over 200,000 students find the support they need to achieve their goals. We're proud to have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews from parents just like you.
