Why a Strong English GCSE Unlocks Your Child's Future

English is more than just another subject; it’s a core skill for life. Mastering how to analyse a quote from 'Macbeth' or structure a persuasive essay teaches your child how to think critically and communicate clearly. These are the skills that colleges, universities, and employers look for, making a good English grade a vital stepping stone for whatever path your child chooses next.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child wants to apply to The College Merthyr Tydfil. Can a tutor help?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced in helping students secure the GCSE grades needed for college courses. They can focus on the specific English Language and Literature skills required to help your child submit a strong application.

We're aiming for a place at the University of South Wales in the future. Can tutoring help now?

Definitely. A strong GCSE in English is a fundamental requirement for most university courses. A tutor can help your child build a solid foundation now, developing the analytical and writing skills that will not only help them get the grades they need but also prepare them for higher education.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

It's simple to find a great match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before you book. This helps you find someone with the right experience and a teaching style that will click with your child.

How much does an English tutor in Rhymney cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find an experienced, background-checked tutor to suit your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden surprises.

How does online tutoring actually work?

All lessons take place in our online classroom, which is designed to be simple and effective. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. Your child just needs a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.

My child's confidence in English is really low. Can a tutor help with that?

Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Tutors create a patient and encouraging environment where your child can learn at their own pace without the pressure of a full classroom. Rebuilding that self-belief is a key part of what they do.

Are your tutors safe and background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is interviewed by our team and must pass a background check before they can join our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.

What happens if we don't like the first tutor we choose?

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How quickly will we see an improvement in our child's grades?

Every child learns differently, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade with regular lessons.

My child is studying the Welsh Baccalaureate. Can a tutor help with that too?

While our main search is for specific subjects like English, many of our tutors have experience supporting students with the skills needed for the Welsh Bacc, such as research, critical thinking, and communication. You can message tutors to ask about their specific experience in this area.

What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?

Life happens, and our tutors understand that. You can easily manage your schedule through the platform. Most tutors are happy to reschedule a lesson as long as you give them enough notice, which is usually 24 hours.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So alongside core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, your child can learn a musical instrument, a new language, or even practical skills like coding with Python.
