Opening Doors For Your Child With GCSE English
GCSE English isn't just another subject; it's a key that unlocks your child's future. A strong pass, especially a Grade 5 or above, is often a requirement for the A-Level courses they're excited about or vocational training at places like Rotherham College. The skills they build – from analysing a quote in 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument – are exactly what respected universities like Sheffield Hallam look for. It gives them the communication skills they'll need for any career they choose, setting them up for long-term success.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study at Rotherham College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the specific grades needed for college entry, like a Grade 5 in English. They can focus lessons on the key skills and exam techniques required to help your child meet the entry requirements for their chosen course.
We're hoping for Sheffield Hallam University in the future. How can tutoring now help with that?
A strong foundation in English is vital for university. A tutor can help your child develop the critical thinking, essay writing, and analytical skills that universities like Sheffield Hallam value highly. Building these skills at GCSE level gives them a significant advantage when they move on to A-Levels and higher education applications.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the right match 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 love helping students with academic subjects, we also have amazing tutors for a wide range of skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, we can help you find the right person to inspire them.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents to get a real feel for each tutor. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable with.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £45. The price is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
My child's confidence in English is low. Can a tutor really help?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a private, supportive setting, your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Our tutors are brilliant at breaking down tricky topics, celebrating small wins, and building your child's self-belief step by step.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe to work with?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a rigorous vetting process and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must have a valid DBS check and provide professional references before they can join our platform, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for problem-solving, and a tool for sharing documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from anywhere with an internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is a great starting point for making steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and their tutor, whether that's more frequent sessions ahead of an exam or fortnightly lessons for general support.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress and goals. Seeing your child's confidence grow and their school results improve is often the clearest sign that tutoring is working.
How successful is tutoring with Tutorful?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students achieve their goals. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and our platform has a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. We're dedicated to helping your child find that same success.
