Why a Strong GCSE in English is Key for Their Next Step
English isn't just about passing an exam; it's the foundation for your child's future success. A strong pass, particularly a grade 5 or above, is often a requirement for the best A-Level courses and apprenticeships. The skills they'll sharpen with a tutor – from analysing quotes in 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument – are exactly what colleges and universities like Lancaster look for. It gives them the confidence to communicate clearly and think critically, skills that will serve them for life.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Walney School. Can a tutor help them secure a grade 5 or higher in GCSE English?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in the GCSE curriculum and have a great track record of helping students secure those crucial higher grades. They can focus on the specific skills needed to boost your child's performance and confidence, which is key for applications to places like Barrow Sixth Form College.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for a competitive apprenticeship in the Barrow area?
Yes. Strong communication skills are vital for apprenticeships. An English tutor can help your child with practical skills like writing a compelling application, preparing for interviews, and improving their overall written and verbal communication, making them a stronger candidate.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to find the perfect match for your child. With 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 their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents just like you. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute chat, which is a great way for you and your child to get to know them before booking a lesson.
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. There are no hidden fees, so you can easily find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID and qualifications verified. We interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure you're choosing from the UK's best.
Can tutoring really help my child's confidence?
Yes, it’s one of the biggest benefits we see. One-to-one support in a friendly, low-pressure environment helps your child feel safe to make mistakes and ask questions. As they start to understand difficult topics, their self-belief grows, and that confidence often carries over into the classroom.
How much can my child's GCSE English grade improve?
We see amazing results. In fact, our data shows that working with a Tutorful tutor can help improve a student's GCSE results by up to two grades. It's all about that focused, personalised support making a real difference.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s simple to use and allows tutors to create engaging, effective lessons that are just as good as being in the same room.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and your child. Most families find a weekly one-hour session works well for ongoing support. However, you can book lessons more or less frequently depending on your child's needs, like extra sessions before an exam.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also help students explore their passions. You can find tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding in Python to mastering a new language.
How can I track my child's progress?
You can message your tutor at any time through the platform. Tutors are happy to provide feedback after each session, so you'll always be in the loop about what your child is working on and how they're progressing.
