Why a Strong English GCSE is Key to Your Child's Next Steps
English isn't just another subject; it's a vital qualification that many A-Level courses and universities look for. A good grade, especially a 5 or 6, shows your child can communicate clearly, think critically, and build a strong argument. These are the skills they'll need whether they're analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' for their exams, writing a personal statement for university, or starting their future career. Strong English skills give them more choices and keep their options open.

Paul M
Excellent English tutor
Maths is pure hell for some. It was for me as a young boy and I thought that because I didn't get the answers right it meant that I was no good.I didn't understand numbers, the vocabulary used for the abstract nature of maths and it left me feeling bereft of confidence. I am glad nowadays maths is taught in a more simpler fashion and I am proof that if maths is accessible in the right way, is fun and more importantly the fear factor is removed then anyone can prosper. That is how I like to approach maths and I feel that it is a fantastic way to enjoy, and dare I say it... love the subject.I am...

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
Can a tutor help my child get the English GCSE grade they need for West Nottinghamshire College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades needed for college entry. They can focus on the exam board your child's school uses, work on past papers, and build the skills and confidence needed to secure a place on their chosen A-Level course.
My child hopes to go to the University of Nottingham one day. Can tutoring now really make a difference?
Yes, it can. Strong GCSE and A-Level grades are the foundation for a competitive university application. An English tutor can help your child develop the critical thinking, analytical, and writing skills that top universities like the University of Nottingham look for in their students.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important, which is why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like English and Maths?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also offer support for hobbies and personal development. Your child could learn a new language, master the guitar, or even get into coding with one of our expert tutors.
There are so many tutors. How do I choose the right one for my child in Selston?
You can filter tutors by subject, level, and price. We recommend reading their profiles and reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a free video chat, which is a great way for you and your child to meet them and see if their personality and teaching style are a good match before booking.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
My child has lost confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a safe, supportive space, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down big topics into manageable steps, which is a fantastic way to rebuild their self-belief.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s simple to use and means your child can learn from an expert tutor anywhere in the UK, right from your home in Selston.
How do you make sure tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must have a valid DBS background check. We also verify their ID and references. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson a week, which gives them time to practise what they've learned. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange lessons with your tutor as often as you need, whether that's a one-off session before an exam or regular weekly support.
How quickly will I see a change in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and a more positive attitude towards their studies.
Our family schedule is really busy. Is tutoring flexible?
Yes, that's a key benefit of online tutoring. You're not limited to tutors in your immediate area, so you have a much wider choice of available times. You can find a tutor who can fit lessons in after school, in the evening, or even at weekends, whatever works best for your family.
