Why That English GCSE is the Key to Your Child's Next Step
A strong pass in GCSE English isn't just another qualification; it's a passport to your child's future. It's the non-negotiable requirement for most courses at Stoke-on-Trent College and for progressing to A-Levels at sixth forms like St Joseph's College. The skills they learn – from analysing a poem to structuring a persuasive argument – are exactly what employers and universities look for. A good English grade keeps their options open, giving them the best possible start.

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!

Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can provide targeted support to help your child secure the Grade 4 or 5 they need to meet the entry requirements for their chosen course.
We're aiming for A-Levels at St Joseph's College. Can a tutor help my child make the jump from GCSE?

How do I choose the right 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 needs before booking. 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.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one sessions create a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, tutors help them see that they can succeed, which often has a fantastic impact on their self-belief.

Every child learns at a different pace, but consistent, tailored support can make a big difference quite quickly. Many parents tell us they notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can you help with hobbies?
While we help thousands with core subjects like English and Maths, 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, we can help.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
A tutor will usually start by checking in on what your child has been doing at school. The lesson will then focus on an agreed area, whether that's analysing a poem, planning an essay, or working on spelling and grammar. It's all tailored to what your child needs most.
