Why a Strong English GCSE is Key to Your Child's Future
English isn't just another subject; it's a fundamental qualification that employers and universities look for first. Strong communication skills, the ability to analyse a text like 'Macbeth', or confidently structure an essay are essential for so many paths. A good grade is the first step towards successful A-Levels at Furness College, a degree from a university like Lancaster, or landing a competitive local apprenticeship.

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.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study A-Levels at Furness College. Can a tutor help them get the right English GCSE grade?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Millom come to us. Our tutors are experienced in the GCSE curriculum and can create a tailored plan to target the specific skills your child needs to strengthen to secure their place at Furness College.
We're worried about future university applications to places like Lancaster. How does English tutoring help?
A strong English GCSE is a crucial building block. It not only helps with A-Levels but also develops the critical thinking and essay writing skills essential for university. Many of our tutors can also help with personal statement writing, giving your child an extra edge when applying to competitive universities like Lancaster.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask questions before you book. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, as a positive relationship is key to building their confidence.
How do online lessons actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We're also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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 an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget, with many experienced English tutors available from around £20 per hour.
My child's confidence in English is very low. How can a tutor help?
This is where one-to-one tutoring really shines. In a private, supportive setting, your child can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. A tutor can go at their pace, celebrate small wins, and help them see they are capable of succeeding.
Can a tutor help with the specific texts my child is studying at Millom School?
Yes, definitely. During your first lesson, the tutor will discuss what your child is currently working on at school. They can then tailor their sessions to cover specific texts, whether it's Shakespeare, poetry, or a modern novel, to align perfectly with their schoolwork.
How quickly will we see an improvement in their grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. We find that regular lessons can build momentum and confidence quickly. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, showing that this dedicated support really works.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life can be busy, we get it. Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You just need to give your tutor 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule a lesson without being charged.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also offer a huge range of other skills! You can find tutors for everything from coding languages like Python to learning a musical instrument, art, or even public speaking.
