We know how much you want your child to thrive at Wolgarston High, especially with the competitive feel from nearby grammar schools.

Why a Strong Grasp of English is Key to Your Child's Future
English isn't just about analysing poetry or understanding Shakespeare; it's the foundation for almost everything your child will do next. Strong grades in GCSE English Language and Literature open doors to a wider range of A-Level subjects and are essential for higher education. More than that, the skills they'll hone – from crafting a persuasive argument to writing a compelling personal statement – are exactly what respected universities like Birmingham and Warwick look for.

Flora I
Flora is a very patient, professional and well-prepared tutor. She always explains things clearly and teaches my son how to answer GCSE questions in a structured way. She provides homework, goes through mistakes carefully, and shows him how to improve his answers step by step. She also adjusts her teaching according to my son’s exam boards and level. My son is less anxious about English now and is slowly gaining confidence. We are very happy with her support and would definitely recommend her.
She is especially good at supporting students who are weaker in English and need clear guidance and structure.

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 goes to Wolgarston High. Can a tutor help them aim for top GCSE grades?
Absolutely. A private tutor can provide focused support to help your child keep up with the curriculum and excel. They can work specifically on areas your child finds difficult, helping them build the skills and confidence needed to achieve top grades. For GCSEs, we often see students improve by up to two grades.
We're thinking about A-Levels at a college in Stafford. Can a tutor help my child secure the English grades they need?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades they need for their next step. They can work with your child on specific exam techniques and subject knowledge to help them feel prepared and confident about hitting the entry requirements for colleges in Stafford or elsewhere.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence in English?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. Tutors celebrate small wins and build on your child's strengths, which can transform their attitude towards a subject they once found tricky.
Can a tutor help with writing a university personal statement?
Yes, many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students craft compelling personal statements for their UCAS applications. They can help your child structure their ideas and showcase their strengths, which is vital for competitive universities.
What happens if we don't click with the 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 cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. You can filter your search by price to find a great tutor who fits your budget.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join our platform.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours. Once you've found the right person and agreed on a time, you can book your first lesson straight away.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which we find is most effective for maintaining focus and making progress. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to see what works best for your child.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and public speaking, you can find an expert tutor to support your child's hobbies and interests too.
