Why a Strong English GCSE Opens Doors for Your Child
English isn't just about analysing poetry or spelling correctly; it's the key that unlocks almost every other subject. Strong English Language and Literature skills are essential for getting into sought-after courses at college and sixth form. From crafting a compelling essay on 'An Inspector Calls' to clearly communicating ideas in other subjects, the confidence your child builds in English will help them across all their studies and give them a huge advantage when it comes to university applications and future job interviews.

Yes. Our tutors are UK-based and have extensive experience with all major exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. They understand exactly what examiners are looking for and can tailor their support to the specific curriculum your child's school follows.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

My child is really anxious about their English exams. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. A one-to-one tutor can be a huge help in reducing exam stress. By breaking down difficult topics, practising past papers, and building a strong understanding of the subject, they help replace anxiety with confidence and a clear, achievable plan.
What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's English grades?
Every child learns at a different pace, but many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. This renewed self-belief is often the first step towards better results. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors must pass an identity check and have an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is in safe, expert hands.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like English?
While we cover all 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, or speak a new language, we can help them explore their passions.
My child has a specific learning need. Can I find a suitable tutor?
Yes. Many of our tutors have experience supporting students with specific learning needs. You can read about their experience on their profiles and we always recommend messaging them before booking to discuss your child's requirements and ensure they are the right fit.
How often should my child have a lesson?
It's completely flexible and up to you. Most families find a weekly session works well for consistent progress, but you can also arrange fortnightly lessons or book extra sessions for intensive revision before an exam. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.
