Why Strong English Skills Are Key to Your Child's Future
A strong grade in English GCSE isn't just another qualification; it's a passport to your child's next steps. It's the key that unlocks the A-Level courses they want and strengthens their application for a place at a Russell Group university. The skills they develop—from analysing a quote from 'Macbeth' to constructing a persuasive argument—are the same ones they'll need for success in higher education and their future career. It’s about giving them the tools to communicate their ideas clearly and confidently, whatever path they choose.

Personalised English Support That Works for Your Family
We believe the right tutor is more than just a teacher; they're a mentor. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best. They take the time to understand how your child learns, what they find tricky, and what makes them tick. This means they can adapt their approach to build a genuine connection, creating a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and building confidence. Every one-to-one lesson is built around your child's specific goals. If they're struggling with essay structure for 'An Inspector Calls' or need to refine their analysis of poetry, the session will focus exactly on that. This targeted support means no time is wasted on things they already know, helping them make real, noticeable progress. It’s why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Finding the right support shouldn't add to your family's stress. With our online platform, you can connect with expert English tutors from across the UK, right from your home in Shropshire. Lessons can be scheduled around school, clubs, and family life, making it easy to fit extra support into your busy week. You can relax knowing you’ve found the help your child needs, without the hassle of extra travel.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for top grades to get into a competitive sixth form like Shrewsbury School. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for the top 7-9 grades needed for competitive A-Level courses. They can focus on developing the advanced essay-writing and analytical skills that examiners are looking for, giving your child the best possible chance of securing their place.
We live in a rural part of Shropshire. How does online tutoring work for us?
That's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. As long as you have a stable internet connection, your child can connect with a top English tutor from anywhere in the UK. It removes any geographical barriers, giving you access to a much wider choice of specialists than you might find locally.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right personal fit is crucial for success. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects from Primary to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find a brilliant tutor on Tutorful.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their approach to helping students with specific areas, like GCSE essay technique, to ensure they're the perfect match.
How much does an English tutor in Shropshire cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help students see their own progress, which is a fantastic confidence booster.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and examples, and a document uploader. It has all the tools needed for your child and their tutor to work together just as if they were in the same room.
Are the tutors background checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and learning style.
Can tutoring help with specific texts, like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Definitely. Tutors can provide focused support on any text your child is studying for their English GCSE or A-Levels. They can help them dive deeper into character analysis, themes, and key quotes, ensuring they feel fully prepared for their exams.
How many of your students see an improvement?
We're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. Our personalised approach helps students tackle the areas they find most challenging, leading to real, measurable progress. We’ve already helped over 200,000 students achieve their goals.
