Why a Strong GCSE in English Matters for Their Future
English isn't just about understanding Shakespeare or getting grammar right; it's the foundation for almost every other subject and future career. Strong analytical and communication skills, developed by exploring poetry or crafting persuasive arguments, are essential for A-Levels, apprenticeships, and university courses at places like the University of Hertfordshire. A good GCSE in English gives your child the confidence and the qualification they need to pursue their ambitions.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends The Nobel School. Can we find a tutor familiar with the GCSE English curriculum they follow?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have extensive experience with the AQA, Edexcel, and OCR exam boards used in schools across Stevenage. When you search, you can read tutor profiles to see their specific experience and even message them to ask about the curriculum at your child's school before booking.
My child is hoping to study A-Levels at North Hertfordshire College. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grade?
Yes, that's a very common goal for parents we work with. Our tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades they need for their next steps, whether it's a Grade 5 or 6 for college entry or higher. They can focus on exam technique, revision strategies, and building confidence to help your child meet the entry requirements.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right personal connection is key to successful tutoring. 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 the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also offer support 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 to help.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Start by using the filters on our site to find tutors with experience in GCSE English. You can watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking your first lesson to ensure it's a great fit.
How much does an online English tutor in Stevenage cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits within your family's budget.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Confidence is often the biggest hurdle. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, tutors help rebuild self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their results.
How are your tutors vetted?
We take your child's safety and quality of learning very seriously. All our tutors are background-checked and must provide professional or academic references. We interview every tutor before they join our platform, and only 1 in every 8 applicants is successful, so you can be sure your child is in great hands.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons are tailored to your child's needs. A session might involve working through a tricky piece of homework, practising exam questions, analysing a poem together on the interactive whiteboard, or planning an essay structure. The focus is always on what will help your child make the most progress.
How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?
Most sessions are one hour long. We generally find that a regular weekly lesson is most effective for building momentum and confidence, especially in the run-up to exams. However, the frequency is completely flexible and up to you and your tutor to decide.
Do we need any special equipment for online tutoring?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to install.
Can a tutor help with university applications, like to the University of Hertfordshire?
Yes, many of our English tutors are also experienced in helping with university applications. They can provide excellent support with writing personal statements, helping your child to articulate their strengths and ambitions clearly and effectively to stand out to admissions teams.
