Why a Strong GCSE English Pass Opens Doors for Your Child

English isn't just another subject; it's a foundation for your child's future. The skills they build, from analysing a quote from 'Macbeth' to structuring a persuasive essay, are exactly what colleges and employers look for. A strong pass in GCSE English is often a requirement for A-Levels and many competitive apprenticeships, making it a crucial step on the path towards opportunities at universities like Sunderland or Durham.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child goes to Easington Academy. Can a tutor help them with their specific GCSE English goals?

Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in the national curriculum and can tailor their support to what your child is studying at Easington Academy. They can help them build confidence with the set texts, improve their essay writing, and prepare effectively for their exams to aim for that strong pass.

We're hoping for our child to go to East Durham College. Can a tutor help them secure the English grade they need?

Yes, definitely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the GCSE grades needed for college entry. By focusing on your child's specific needs, a tutor can help them build the skills and confidence required to get the results they need for their chosen A-Level courses.

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

You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a short introductory chat to see if they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning style before you book a lesson.

What if my child doesn't click 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 online English tutoring cost in Murton?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on a tutor's experience and level of expertise, so you can find someone who fits your family's budget.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam and microphone.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can join our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.

Can tutoring really help my child's confidence?

It really can. One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor helps your child work at their own pace in a low-pressure environment. As they start to understand difficult topics and see their skills improve, their confidence often grows, both in English and in other subjects too.

What happens in a typical English lesson?

Every lesson is different because it's tailored to your child. A session might involve working through a tricky piece of homework, practising exam-style questions, analysing a poem together on the interactive whiteboard, or planning an essay.

How long will my child need a tutor for?

This depends entirely on your child's goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly sessions throughout the school year. You and your tutor can work out a plan that's right for your child.

How do I pay for lessons?

Payments are handled securely and simply through the platform. You add your card details to your account, and you're only charged 24 hours after each lesson is complete. There are no complicated contracts or upfront fees.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different?

While we have tutors for all core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have experts who teach a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish to coding in Python, there's a tutor for almost anything your child is passionate about.
