Opening Doors For Your Child With GCSE English
GCSE English isn't just another subject; it's a key that unlocks your child's future. A strong grade is often the first thing that colleges like Thomas Rotherham and competitive sixth forms look for. It demonstrates not just a grasp of literature, but the ability to think critically and communicate clearly – skills that are essential for A-Levels and respected universities like the University of Sheffield. From understanding complex texts to structuring a persuasive argument, these are the foundations that will support them in their studies and future career.

Megan is a wonderful tutor!
My son has really enjoyed the sessions with her and she adapts them to ensure he is fully understanding the teaching.

I cannot recommend her enough!!

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child has their heart set on Thomas Rotherham College. Can a tutor help them achieve the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE English specialists with a great track record of helping students secure the grades needed for competitive post-16 providers. They can focus specifically on the areas of the curriculum your child finds challenging to build their skills and confidence ahead of their exams.
We live in Rotherham. Are the tutors local?
Because all our tutoring is online, your child can connect with the very best English tutors from across the UK, not just in the Rotherham area. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists, so you can find the perfect match for your child's personality and learning needs, no matter where you live.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the right fit. We have a first lesson guarantee, so if you don't get on with your tutor, just 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?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings and reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors who seem like a good fit and sending them a message to discuss your child's needs before booking.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This means you can find an excellent, affordable tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can tutoring help if my child lacks confidence in English?
Confidence is key! In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors are brilliant at breaking down difficult topics, celebrating small wins, and tailoring their teaching style to make your child feel capable and motivated.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and we verify their ID. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has all the tools needed, like an interactive whiteboard, so you don't need any special software.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to discuss how things are going. Seeing your child's confidence grow and their school results improve is often the clearest sign of progress.
Can tutoring help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, definitely. Many of our English tutors are experts in both GCSE English Language and English Literature. They can help your child switch between analysing poetry and perfecting their persuasive writing skills, covering all aspects of the curriculum.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without being overwhelming. However, you can discuss your needs directly with your tutor, as many are flexible.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their passions.
