Opening Doors for Your Child: Why GCSE English Matters
English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for so much of your child's future learning. Strong communication skills, the ability to analyse complex texts like 'Macbeth', and the confidence to structure a convincing argument are vital for almost every A-Level course and university degree. Securing that strong GCSE grade doesn't just open the door to their preferred sixth-form path; it gives them the core skills they'll need to succeed at top Welsh universities and in their future career.

How Our Tutors Can Help Your Child Thrive in English
We know you want the best for your child, which is why we're so selective—we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. The right tutor does more than just teach; they get to know your child as an individual. They'll understand how your child learns best, where their confidence might be wavering, and build a supportive relationship that helps them feel comfortable asking questions and making progress. Every online session is built around your child's specific needs. If they're struggling to analyse poetry for their GCSEs or need help structuring essays, their tutor will focus right there. This targeted approach is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and we can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades. Lessons are designed to fill knowledge gaps and build skills, turning 'I can't do this' into 'I understand'. Finding time for extra support can be tricky, especially with busy family schedules. With our online tutors, you can find the perfect match for your child and schedule lessons for times that work for you, all from the comfort of your home in Porthcawl. It’s a simple, stress-free way to get your child the help they need.

Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University.

My child attends Porthcawl Comprehensive. Can we find a tutor familiar with the WJEC curriculum?
Yes. Many of our tutors have experience with the WJEC (Welsh Joint Education Committee) curriculum used in Welsh schools. You can check each tutor's profile for their specific experience or use our filters to find a specialist in the WJEC English syllabus.
Can a tutor help my child with their application to Welsh universities like Cardiff or Swansea?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students with their personal statements and application essays. They can help your child articulate their strengths and ambitions, which is a key part of a strong university application.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is really important. 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 read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos to get a feel for their personality, and check their qualifications and experience on their profile. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat so you can talk to them before booking a lesson.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
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 contracts.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
A great tutor creates a safe space where your child feels comfortable to ask questions without feeling judged. By breaking down difficult topics, celebrating small wins, and providing constant encouragement, they can rebuild your child's self-belief step-by-step.

Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and engaging way for your child to learn from home.

Your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked, and we interview every applicant. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This really depends on your child's goals. Many families start with one session a week, especially when preparing for exams like GCSEs. You can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor.
