How a Strong English GCSE Opens Doors for Your Child
English isn't just about passing an exam; it's the foundation for so much more. Strong skills in analysing a text like 'Macbeth' or crafting a persuasive argument are essential for almost every A-Level subject. It's a qualification that colleges and universities look for, paving the way for your child to pursue their ambitions, whether that’s at the University of Bedfordshire or further afield. It gives them the communication skills they'll need for any future career.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends Sandy Secondary School. Can we find a tutor familiar with the GCSE curriculum they follow?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience with the specific curricula used in schools across Bedfordshire, including the AQA and Edexcel exam boards commonly taught for GCSE English. You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience and even send them a message before booking to ensure they're the right fit for your child's needs.
We're hoping for A-Levels at Stratton Upper School. Can a tutor help my child secure the English GCSE grade they need?
Yes, that's a common goal for many parents we help. Our tutors are experts at focusing on the specific skills needed to turn a grade 4 into a 5, or a 5 into a 6 or higher. They can work with your child on exam technique and understanding the mark scheme to help them secure the grades required for their chosen A-Level path at Stratton Upper.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the right person. You can filter tutors by subject, level, and price. We recommend watching their short introduction videos to get a feel for their personality and reading reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask about their experience and teaching style.
What happens if my child doesn't get on 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, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online English tutor in Sandy cost?
Prices are set by the individual tutors and vary based on their experience and qualifications. You'll see the hourly rate clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. Your child can work through past papers, analyse texts, and get instant feedback, just as they would in person.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, which includes an identity check and a DBS background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. When a topic 'clicks' for a child, their self-belief grows. Our tutors provide a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult concepts, like analysing poetry or Shakespeare, a tutor helps them build skills step-by-step, which is a huge confidence booster.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a change in their child's confidence and attitude towards a subject after just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring.
Can tutoring help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, definitely. Most English tutors are experienced in teaching both the Language and Literature GCSEs. They can help your child with everything from creative writing for their Language paper to understanding character development in 'An Inspector Calls' for their Literature exam.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum! While we have fantastic tutors for Maths, English, and Science, you can also find experts to teach your child skills like coding, Python, playing the guitar, or even learning a new language. It's all about helping them pursue their passions.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
We understand that life gets busy. If you need to reschedule, you just need to give your tutor 24 hours' notice. You can arrange a new time that works for both of you directly through our platform.
