Why a Strong GCSE in English Opens Doors for Your Child
GCSE English isn't just another subject; it's a passport to your child's next steps. Strong communication and analytical skills, whether they're breaking down a quote from 'Macbeth' or structuring a persuasive argument, are essential for almost any path they choose. A good grade, especially that crucial Grade 5, is often a non-negotiable requirement for A-Levels, apprenticeships, and university courses, giving them the freedom to pursue their ambitions.

Personalised English Support That Builds Real Confidence
We believe the best learning happens when a tutor truly understands your child. That's why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. The right tutor for your child will take the time to get to know their strengths and where they need a bit more help, creating a supportive space where they feel comfortable asking questions and making progress. Every online lesson is built around your child. If they're finding algebra tricky in Maths or need to get to grips with analysing poetry for their English GCSE, their tutor will tailor the session to focus on exactly that. This targeted approach means no time is wasted, and your child can see their understanding grow week by week. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Juggling school, clubs, and family life is busy enough. Online tutoring takes the stress out of extra support. You can find a background-checked tutor and arrange lessons at times that work for your family, all from the comfort of your own home in Rugeley. All you need is a laptop and an internet connection to get started.

Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

My child wants to study A-Levels in Lichfield or Cannock. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced in helping students target specific GCSE grades. They can focus on the key skills needed to secure a Grade 5 or above in English Language, which is often a key requirement for the top A-Level providers in the area.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend looking for a tutor whose experience matches your child's specific needs, whether that's GCSE exam prep or building reading confidence. You can also message tutors beforehand to ask questions.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Can a tutor help my child with their GCSE English exams?
Definitely. Our tutors are brilliant at exam preparation. They can help your child with everything from exam technique and time management to understanding the mark scheme. We know this focused support works – we can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
How can online tutoring help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one attention in a safe, supportive environment makes a huge difference. Your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed in front of a class. As they start to understand difficult topics and see their skills improve, their confidence naturally grows.
How much does an English tutor 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 transparency allows you to find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has undergone a thorough background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. There's an interactive whiteboard for working through problems, video chat to talk with their tutor, and a tool for sharing documents. It's a simple and effective way to learn from home.
Do you only offer help for core school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have experts who can teach practical and creative skills. You can find tutors for everything from learning the guitar and music theory to coding in Python.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Sessions are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply browse for tutors, send messages to the ones you like, and book your first session directly from their calendar. Many parents find a tutor and have their first lesson arranged within 24 hours.
