Why a Strong GCSE in English Opens Doors for Your Child
Getting a great GCSE English result is about more than just a certificate. It's the key that unlocks your child's future choices. A strong pass (a Grade 6 or above) is often essential for the A-Level courses they'll need to apply for top universities like Exeter or Bristol. The skills they build – from analysing a quote in 'Macbeth' to structuring a persuasive argument – are the core communication and critical thinking tools they will use for the rest of their lives, in their studies and their future career.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child prepare for the academic step-up to a college like Petroc or Exeter College?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students make the transition from GCSE to A-Level. They can work with your child to build the analytical skills, essay-writing techniques, and independent study habits needed to feel confident and prepared for a more demanding academic environment.
My child is aiming for a top university like Exeter or Bristol. Can an English tutor help with this?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience supporting students with university applications. They can help your child develop the high-level critical thinking and communication skills that top universities look for, ensuring their academic work and personal statement truly stand out.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific goals. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know how important the right fit 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 all your tutors based in the UK and background-checked?
Yes, every tutor on our platform is based in the UK and undergoes a thorough vetting process. This includes an identity check and a mandatory DBS background check to ensure your child's safety and your peace of mind.
How much does an online English tutor cost in South Molton?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget, with prices starting from £15 per hour.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
Can tutoring help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Definitely. One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic way to rebuild confidence. In a supportive, patient environment, your child can ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in class, and lessons are tailored to their pace, helping them achieve small wins that build into big successes.
We live near South Molton. Does the tutor need to be local too?
No, and that's the great thing about online tutoring! Your child can connect with the very best English tutors from across the UK, not just those who live nearby. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists to find the perfect match for your child's needs.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week works best for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange lessons with your tutor as often as you need, whether that's for a regular boost or for some extra help before an important exam.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than English?
Yes, we do! We have expert tutors across hundreds of subjects, from core academic topics like Maths and Science to languages, music, and even practical skills like coding. You can find support for all of your child's interests on our platform.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard lesson length is one hour. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. You can, however, discuss different session lengths with your tutor if you feel your child would benefit from it.
