Why a Strong GCSE in English is So Important for Their Future
English is more than just a subject; it's a fundamental skill for life. A strong pass, especially a Grade 5 or above, is often a requirement for the best college courses and is essential for university applications. From deeply analysing quotes in 'Macbeth' to structuring a compelling argument for their English Language paper, the skills your child develops are the ones they'll use in every other subject and throughout their future career.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at a university like Newcastle or Durham. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Our tutors can help your child secure the strong GCSE and A-Level English grades needed for entry into competitive universities. They can also provide support with personal statements and developing the critical thinking skills that admissions tutors look for.
Many students from schools like Harton Academy or St Wilfrid's are aiming for top grades. Can a tutor provide that level of challenge?
Yes. A great tutor doesn't just help students who are struggling; they also stretch those who are already doing well. By tailoring sessions to your child, a tutor can introduce more complex ideas and advanced techniques to help them aim for the highest grades.
How do I find the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience, such as GCSE exam boards like AQA. You can read their profiles, check reviews from other parents, and even message them before booking to ensure they're the perfect fit for your child.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, so you can easily find someone who fits your budget. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. 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.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our absolute priority. All our tutors must have a valid DBS check (or equivalent) and we personally interview every single one to ensure they are of the highest standard. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
Can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence in English?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. In a safe, supportive space, your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class, helping them to feel much more positive about the subject.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's just like a face-to-face lesson, but more convenient! Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help specifically with both GCSE English Language and Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experts in both GCSE English Language and Literature. They have a deep understanding of the curriculum, key texts, and exam board requirements, and can create a tailored plan to tackle both subjects effectively.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to help you see the progress your child is making. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their development. The real proof, as over 4,100+ positive reviews show, is the confidence and improved results you'll see.
How long will my child need tutoring for?
This is completely up to you and your child. Some students need a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others benefit from weekly support throughout the school year. There are no contracts, so you can have as many or as few lessons as you need.
Is Tutorful just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer expert support for academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, master coding in Python, or learn a new language, we can help.
