Why a Strong Grasp of English is Key to Your Child's Future
English is more than just another GCSE; it's the foundation for success across all their subjects. The skills your child develops, from analysing a quote in 'Macbeth' to structuring a persuasive argument, are skills for life. A strong command of English helps them communicate their ideas clearly, think critically, and build the confidence they'll need for A-Levels, university applications, and their future career.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at Newcastle or Durham University. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience supporting students with their university applications, including crafting compelling personal statements that stand out to admissions teams at competitive universities like Newcastle and Durham.
With schools like Gosforth Academy setting a high bar, can a tutor help my child keep up?
Definitely. A one-to-one tutor can work at your child's pace, helping to reinforce what they're learning in school. They can fill any knowledge gaps and give your child the confidence to tackle the demanding GCSE English curriculum set by Newcastle's top schools.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for your child's success. 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 I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking to ensure you find the perfect match.
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, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement. As their tutor helps them master difficult topics, you'll see their self-belief and enjoyment of the subject grow.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can join our platform.
How long are the online tutoring sessions?
Sessions are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Each lesson is tailored to your child's needs. It might involve working through a tricky piece of homework, practising exam techniques, analysing a poem together on the interactive whiteboard, or planning an essay structure.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking a new language.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress. Seeing your child's grades and, most importantly, their confidence improve are the clearest signs of success.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no special software to download.
