Why a Strong English GCSE is Key for Your Child's Future
English is more than just a subject; it's the key that unlocks future opportunities. A strong grasp of English Language and Literature gives your child the communication and analytical skills they'll need for A-Levels, university, and their future career. Whether it's analysing quotes from 'An Inspector Calls' or structuring a persuasive essay, these skills are essential. A good grade in GCSE English is often a requirement for entry into top A-Level courses, making it a crucial foundation for their next steps.

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!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study A-Levels at Rawlins Academy. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many parents in Sileby share this goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the GCSE grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific skills and exam techniques your child needs to strengthen their application and feel confident on exam day.
We live near Loughborough and are thinking about future university options. How can an English tutor help now?
A strong English GCSE is a vital stepping stone for university. A tutor can help your child develop the critical thinking and essay-writing skills that universities like Loughborough look for. Building this foundation now makes the transition to A-Levels and higher education much smoother.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's 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.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we personally interview them to ensure they have the right experience. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in good hands.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete flexibility.
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. All they need is a laptop or computer with a microphone, a camera, and a stable internet connection.
Can tutoring help my child's confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. In a one-to-one setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor will celebrate their progress and help them see their own ability, which can make a huge difference to how they feel about school.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is different because it’s planned around your child. A session might start with a quick review of a previous topic, then move on to tackling a new concept, like analysing a poem or planning an essay. The tutor will work at your child's pace, ensuring they understand before moving on.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is effective for steady progress. However, you might want to arrange more frequent sessions in the run-up to exams. It’s completely flexible and something you can agree on with your tutor.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach means you can see progress quickly. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and enthusiasm for the subject.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, pick up a new language, or even learn coding, you can find experienced tutors on our platform to help them explore their interests.
