Why a Strong GCSE in English is Key to Your Child's Next Steps
GCSE English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for your child's future studies and career. Strong analytical skills, like being able to break down a quote from 'Macbeth' or structure a persuasive argument, are essential for A-Levels and beyond. A great grade in English Language opens up a huge range of courses and is a non-negotiable for universities like Cardiff and Swansea. It's the qualification that shows your child can communicate clearly and think critically – skills every employer looks for.

Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grade they need for Coleg y Cymoedd?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE English curriculum and know exactly what's needed to secure a strong pass. They can help your child build the specific skills and exam techniques required for their target grades, giving them the best chance of getting onto their chosen A-Level course.
My child is hoping to apply to Cardiff University. Can a tutor help with their personal statement?
Yes, many of our English tutors are brilliant at helping with university applications. Beyond supporting A-Level studies, they can provide expert guidance on structuring a compelling personal statement that stands out, helping your child showcase their strengths for competitive courses at universities like Cardiff or Swansea.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs and ensure it's a good match.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure your child has the best possible experience. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It's that simple.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can see the hourly rate clearly on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which has a 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. It's simple, secure, and effective.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How can tutoring help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
Confidence is often the biggest hurdle. A one-to-one tutor creates a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild your child's self-belief, which is just as important as the grade itself.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tuition is that it's completely focused on their needs. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Consistent lessons are the key to seeing real, lasting progress in their grades.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, definitely. Most English tutors are experienced in teaching both GCSE English Language and English Literature. You can check their profiles for specifics, but they can help your child with everything from analysing poetry for their Literature exam to mastering persuasive writing for their Language paper.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects! While we have experts in core academic topics like English, Maths, and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for skills like coding, learning a musical instrument, or even public speaking. It's all about helping your child pursue their passions.
What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring companies?
