Why a Strong English GCSE Paves the Way for Success
English is more than just another GCSE; it’s the foundation for your child's future studies. The ability to analyse a text, from Shakespeare to unseen poetry, and build a convincing argument in an essay are essential skills for almost any A-Level, university course, and future career. A great grade in English Language and Literature shows that your child is a thoughtful, critical thinker who can communicate their ideas clearly – a skill that will benefit them for life.

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to St Mary's College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE grades they need?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades needed for specific sixth forms and colleges. They can focus on the key skills and exam techniques required to move a grade 4 or 5 up to a 6 or 7, which can make all the difference for competitive A-Level courses.
We're in Rishton, and my child feels behind students from other schools. Can a tutor help them catch up?
This is a very common concern, and it's exactly where a tutor can help most. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions they might not ask in class. They can go over topics at your child's pace, plugging any gaps in their knowledge and building their confidence week by week.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child will respond to.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your 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 much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our UK-based tutors has been through a rigorous selection process, including an identity and background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, there's no fear of 'getting it wrong'. Tutors celebrate small wins and create a positive learning environment where your child can see their own progress, which is a fantastic confidence booster.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistency is key. With regular weekly lessons, students often feel more confident within a few sessions. We know our approach works, as 90% of Tutorful students improve by at least one grade.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE texts like 'An Inspector Calls' or poetry?
Definitely. Our English tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum. They can provide in-depth support on specific texts, characters, themes, and the context needed to write top-mark essays, whether it's for a play, a novel, or the poetry anthology.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we're experts in core academic subjects, we also have brilliant tutors for a wide range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to mastering coding with Python, there are hundreds of subjects to explore on Tutorful.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying for lessons is straightforward and secure. You add your payment details to your account, and after each completed lesson, payment is automatically processed. You can view your transaction history at any time in your account dashboard.
