How a Strong GCSE in English Can Shape Your Child's Future
English isn't just another subject; it's a skill for life and a key qualification that opens doors. The ability to analyse complex texts, from Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' to modern poetry, and build a compelling argument is vital. These skills are exactly what top colleges look for when offering A-Level places, and what universities like Exeter want to see in a strong personal statement. A great grade in English gives your child a huge advantage, whatever path they choose.

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
Can a tutor help my child with the specific curriculum at Okehampton College?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience with the specific syllabuses used in schools across the country. When you search, you can filter for tutors with GCSE experience and chat with them before booking to ensure they are a great fit for supporting your child's work at Okehampton College.
My child hopes to apply to the University of Exeter. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes. A strong English A-Level is often a requirement for top universities. A tutor can help your child master the essay and analysis skills needed to excel at A-Level, and many also offer support with writing a compelling personal statement for their university application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and even message tutors for free before booking. We recommend finding someone your child will get on with, as a positive relationship is key to building their confidence.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, starting from £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of demand. You can easily filter by price to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are your tutors qualified and safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and background-checked before they can join Tutorful. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best tutors in the UK.
What if my child doesn't get on with their tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't feel the tutor is the right fit after the first session, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at a different pace, but one-to-one attention makes a huge difference. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change many parents notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and enthusiasm for the subject.
Can tutoring help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
Definitely. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their own pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-belief and make learning enjoyable again.
What happens in a typical one-to-one English lesson?
The tutor will tailor the session to your child's needs. It might involve going over a tricky piece of homework, practising exam techniques, analysing a poem together on the interactive whiteboard, or planning and structuring an essay for a top grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have experts for every subject on the curriculum, we also offer tutoring in a wide range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor for it on Tutorful.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying for lessons is simple and secure. Your payment details are saved to your account, and you are only charged 24 hours after each lesson is complete. There are no complicated contracts or upfront payments to worry about.
