Why a Strong English GCSE is Key for Your Child's Future
A great English grade isn't just about passing an exam; it's a core qualification that opens doors.

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form after their GCSEs. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the high grades needed for entry into sought-after sixth forms. They can focus on exam technique, essay writing, and building a deep understanding of the curriculum to help your child perform at their best.
Are your tutors familiar with the requirements for Russell Group university applications?
Yes, we have many tutors with experience in preparing students for top universities. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and critical thinking skills needed for A-Level English and for crafting a compelling personal statement that stands out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find a great match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to success.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. 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 in Northamptonshire cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our platform to find an expert who fits your budget. All costs are clearly displayed on their profiles with no hidden fees.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also have a strict selection process, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, ensuring your child learns from the best.
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement. Tutors can break down tricky topics and celebrate small wins, which builds momentum and self-belief over time.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and file sharing, making it easy for your child to collaborate with their tutor just as they would in person. All you need is a laptop or computer and an internet connection.
How quickly will we see an improvement in our child's English grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and enjoyment of the subject.
Can a tutor help with specific texts, like Shakespeare or modern poetry?
Yes, definitely. One of the great benefits of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons can be tailored to exactly what your child is studying. Whether they need help analysing 'An Inspector Calls' or understanding a complex poem, their tutor can create a plan to help them master it.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with academic goals in English, Maths, and Science, we also have fantastic tutors who can teach your child practical skills like coding, a new language, or even how to play the guitar.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know your child. The tutor will chat with them about their goals, what they enjoy about English, and what they find difficult. This helps the tutor understand their learning style and create a personalised plan for future sessions.
