Why a Strong English Grade is Key for Your Child's Future
English isn't just another subject; it's a skill for life and a crucial qualification that future employers and educators look for. From crafting a compelling essay on 'An Inspector Calls' to analysing poetry with confidence, the skills your child develops will be vital. A strong GCSE grade in English is often the key that unlocks the door to their chosen A-Level courses, competitive apprenticeships, and respected university places, giving them the best possible start.

The Right English Support, When Your Child Needs It Most

We carefully select the best tutors from across the UK, with only 1 in 8 applicants making it onto our platform, and every one is background-checked. They'll take the time to understand how your child learns, what they find difficult, and how to bring the subject to life for them. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific needs. If they’re struggling with Shakespearean language or need to nail their persuasive writing skills for the exam, their tutor can focus the entire session on it. This targeted approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, with many improving their GCSE results by up to two grades. It’s about turning ‘I can’t do this’ into ‘I understand’.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study A-Levels at Redcar and Cleveland College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Redcar come to us. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can provide targeted support to help your child secure the Grade 5 or above they need to progress confidently onto their chosen A-Level or vocational courses.
We're hoping for a top university like Durham or Newcastle. How can an English tutor support this ambition?
A great English tutor can be a huge help. Beyond securing top A-Level grades, they can help your child develop the critical thinking and analytical skills that admissions tutors at competitive universities look for. They can also provide valuable guidance on personal statements, helping your child articulate their passion for their chosen subject.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. Think about their experience with the specific exam board your child is studying and whether their personality seems like a good match.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits your family's budget.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is 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.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on the Tutorful platform has passed a background check before they can start teaching. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them build self-belief that extends beyond just their English lessons.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and convenient. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
The lesson is tailored to your child. It might start with a quick chat about what they've been doing in school, followed by work on a specific area, like analysing a poem for their GCSEs or structuring an essay. The tutor will adapt the session to focus on whatever will help your child make the most progress.
Can we fit lessons around school and other activities?
Yes, absolutely. That's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile and schedule sessions for evenings, weekends, or even during school holidays, making it easy to fit around your family's busy life.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of students who have regular lessons with us improve by at least one academic grade.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or music?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English and Maths, we also have experts who can teach your child new skills and hobbies, from learning the guitar or piano to coding in Python or even speaking a new language.
