Why a Strong WJEC English Grade Opens Doors for Your Child
Beyond just being a core subject, English provides the foundational skills your child needs for so many future paths. Strong analytical and essay-writing abilities, developed while studying everything from Shakespeare to modern texts, are essential for popular A-Level subjects. Achieving a B grade or higher in WJEC English doesn't just meet entry requirements; it gives your child the confidence and capability to succeed in competitive humanities and law courses at excellent universities like Cardiff, Swansea, and the University of South Wales.

Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Janan S
Janan is such a great tutor! She explains things really well and is able to fully break down areas I struggle with in English and make it easy to follow. She is also very personable and creates an easy atmosphere and is very understanding when I am behind in assignments for her, having a very dedicated work ethic, making up for what I lack. She creates a very welcoming environment and I genuinely do enjoy our lessons. Also she has helped direct me towards revision strategy’s as well so I do feel I have improved too in that areas and in English in general too. Would strongly recommend!

Frances H
Frances has been helping my daughter with English and SPaG in preparation for her SATs and after just a few sessions, I’ve seen a difference. She sets weekly homework, takes a genuine interest in my daughter’s week and makes learning fun by playing games like hangman to aid spelling. My daughter is engaged and is starting to really grasp the content. Frances is patient, encouraging and explains things clearly, which has already boosted my daughter’s confidence.

Alexander A
We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

My son has just started with Mamun, so far I am very happy. At first, my son was finding it a bit difficult to understand him, but when I expected it to Mamun he was very nice about it, and he did exactly what I wanted.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study Law at Cardiff or Swansea University. Can a tutor help with this goal?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students bridge the gap between GCSEs and A-Levels, and on to university. They can help your child develop the critical thinking and advanced essay-writing skills that admissions tutors for competitive courses like Law at Cardiff or Swansea are looking for.
Can a tutor specifically help my child meet the entry requirements for A-Levels at Coleg y Cymoedd?
Yes. Our tutors can focus specifically on the WJEC curriculum and the skills needed to achieve a B grade or higher. By working on your child's specific areas for improvement, they can help them build the knowledge and confidence to meet the A-Level entry requirements for local colleges like Coleg y Cymoedd.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors who have experience with the WJEC exam board and sending them a message to discuss your child's specific needs before booking.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview and vet every applicant, accepting only 1 in 8. With a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews from parents like you, you can feel confident you're in safe hands.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. Our First Lesson Guarantee means that 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 in Pontypridd?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Can tutoring help my child if they've lost their confidence in English?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and breaking down tough topics helps rebuild their self-belief.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find a weekly one-hour session works best, as it provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, you can arrange a schedule that suits your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your tutor.
What's the difference between English Language and English Literature tutoring?
It's a common question! English Language focuses on how language works – analysing non-fiction texts, persuasive writing, and communication skills. English Literature is about studying and analysing set texts like plays, poetry, and novels. Many of our tutors are experts in both and can help your child wherever they need the most support.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find brilliant, passionate tutors on Tutorful.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
You and your child's tutor can work together on this. Tutors provide regular feedback, and you can discuss your child's goals and track their improvement. Seeing their confidence grow and their understanding deepen is often the first and most important sign of progress.
