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.

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 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.
