Why a Strong GCSE in English is Key for Their Future

English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for so much of your child's future learning. The analytical skills they develop are vital, whether it's breaking down quotes in a WJEC paper on 'Macbeth' or building a persuasive argument in an essay. These are the exact skills they'll need to thrive in demanding A-Levels and stand out in applications to competitive universities like Cardiff or Swansea. We know how much progress matters, which is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.

The Right English Support, Tailored to Your Child

The right tutor does more than just teach the syllabus; they get to know your child. They'll quickly understand their learning style, pinpoint the areas they find difficult, and build a supportive relationship that helps them feel comfortable asking questions. We take the quality of our tutors seriously, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a background-checked expert. Every online lesson is built around your child's specific needs. If they're struggling to structure their essays for the WJEC exam, their tutor can dedicate the whole session to mastering that skill. If a particular poem feels impossible to understand, they can work through it line by line until it clicks. This focused, one-to-one attention is how real progress is made. Finding the perfect English tutor is simple, and because the lessons are online, they fit easily around your family's life. There's no travel, just effective, engaging learning from the comfort of your home. With over 4,100+ customer reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, you can feel confident you're making the right choice to support your child's education.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can a tutor help my child with the specific WJEC English syllabus used in Pontllanfraith schools?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are very experienced with the WJEC syllabus for both Language and Literature. You can check a tutor's profile to see their specific experience or message them before booking to ensure they are the perfect fit for your child's needs.

My child hopes to go to Coleg Gwent and then maybe Cardiff University. Can a tutor support these goals?

Yes. Our tutors are brilliant at helping students build the core skills and confidence needed for their next steps. They can focus on developing the strong analytical and essay-writing abilities that are essential for success at A-Level and for making a strong university application.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience, for example, at GCSE level. We recommend reading their profiles, checking their reviews from other parents, and watching their introduction video. You can also message tutors for free to ask any questions before you book.

How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant to ensure they are knowledgeable and passionate about teaching. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform.

How much do online English tutors cost?

Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can filter by price to find a great tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden fees.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has features like a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.

Can tutoring help my child feel more confident?

Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits parents tell us about. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions and work through topics at their own pace, without the pressure of a full classroom. This personalised support is fantastic for building confidence.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or music?

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core academic ones. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding in Python, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

The standard lesson length is one hour, which gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor if needed.

Can I message a tutor before booking a lesson?

Of course. We encourage you to send a message to a tutor before you book. It’s a great way to discuss your child's goals, ask about their teaching style, and make sure they feel like the right person to help.

How many lessons will my child need to see an improvement?

This varies for every child. Some students need a few sessions to get over a specific hurdle, while others benefit from regular weekly lessons throughout the school year. The best approach is to have a chat with your tutor about your child's goals.
