Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is a Passport to Their Future

GCSE English isn't just another subject; it's a fundamental qualification that universities and employers look for. The ability to analyse a poem, structure a persuasive essay, or understand the nuances of a text like 'An Inspector Calls' builds critical thinking skills for life. A strong pass is essential for entry into the best post-16 providers in and around Leeds, and it forms a crucial part of a strong application to universities like the University of Leeds.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child wants to apply to a competitive college in Leeds. Can a tutor help with this?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students prepare for entry into specific post-16 providers. They can focus on strengthening the core essay writing and analytical skills that these colleges look for, helping your child to submit a confident and polished application.

How can an online tutor help my child feel prepared for a university like the University of Leeds?

A strong English A-Level, built on a solid GCSE foundation, is key for many top university courses. Our tutors can help your child develop the advanced analytical and critical thinking skills needed for higher education, giving them a real advantage when they come to write their personal statement and tackle university-level study.

Do you just offer academic subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have amazing tutors who can teach everything from coding and guitar to piano and Spanish. It’s a great way for your child to explore a new hobby or develop a new skill.

What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know that the right fit is crucial for success. 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 in Pudsey?

You can easily browse our tutors' profiles, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a free video chat, which is a great way for you and your child to meet them, discuss your child's goals, and see if their teaching style is a good match before booking a lesson.

How can a tutor help my child with analysing complex texts like Shakespeare?

This is where a one-to-one tutor can make a huge difference. They can break down difficult language, explore key themes and characters, and teach your child simple techniques for analysing quotes effectively. They turn something that feels intimidating into a subject your child can feel confident and knowledgeable about.

How much does online English tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.

Are your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our UK-based tutors has passed a background check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, ensuring your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.

How do online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. There's an interactive whiteboard for working through problems, a chat function, and file sharing for essays and resources. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.

Can tutoring really help my child's confidence?

Yes, it's one of the biggest benefits we see. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. As they start to understand difficult topics and see their grades improve, their self-belief and confidence grow, which often has a positive impact on all of their subjects.

How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?

Every child learns at a different pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a change in their child's confidence and attitude towards a subject within just a few weeks. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade with regular lessons.

What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring services?

We focus on finding the perfect match for your child. With thousands of expert, vetted tutors to choose from, you're not limited to who's available locally. Our platform is built for learning, and with over 4,100 reviews rating us 4.6/5 stars, you can feel confident you're choosing the best support for your child's journey.
