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.

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...

David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

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.
