Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is Key to Your Child's Future
GCSE English is more than just a qualification; it's the foundation for so much of your child's future learning. Strong analytical and communication skills, honed by studying everything from Shakespeare's *Macbeth* to modern poetry, are essential for success at A-Level. These are the very skills that top universities, like Birmingham and Warwick, look for. A great grade in English doesn't just pass an exam – it opens doors to the courses and careers your child is dreaming of.

Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child secure a place at Shrewsbury Colleges Group?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the specific GCSE English grades needed for entry into competitive sixth forms like Shrewsbury Colleges Group. They can focus on strengthening the exact skills and knowledge required, helping your child build the confidence and ability to secure their place.
My child is aiming for a Russell Group university. Can an English tutor help with this?
Definitely. A strong foundation in English is critical for applications to top universities. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical, critical thinking, and essay-writing skills that Russell Group universities like Birmingham and Warwick value so highly, starting with securing excellent GCSE and A-Level grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check their experience, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to explain your child's goals. This helps you find someone your child will connect with, which is so important for building their confidence.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is a chance for the tutor to get to know your child. They'll chat about what your child finds difficult in English, what they enjoy, and what their goals are. It's a relaxed session focused on building a plan together. And don't forget our First Lesson Guarantee for your peace of mind.
What is the First Lesson Guarantee?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online English tutor in Shrewsbury cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from £15. The price often reflects their experience and qualifications. You can easily use the filters on the search page to find a highly-rated tutor that fits your family's budget.
Are all the tutors background checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It has all the tools needed for your child to learn and collaborate with their tutor, right from your home.
How can tutoring help if my child feels anxious about English?
This is where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where there are no 'silly' questions. By going at your child's pace and celebrating small wins, they can help turn that anxiety into confidence and a genuine enjoyment of the subject.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we support thousands of students with core subjects for their GCSEs and A-Levels, we also have amazing tutors who can teach a huge range of skills and hobbies, from learning to play the guitar to coding in Python.
How many lessons a week will my child need?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for making steady progress. However, it really depends on your child's goals. You can discuss this with your chosen tutor, and you are always in complete control of the frequency of lessons.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. Many parents also tell us they see a change not just in their child's school work, but in their overall confidence and attitude towards learning, which is a wonderful sign of progress in itself.
