Why a Strong English GCSE is Key for Your Child's Future
English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for so many opportunities. The skills your child develops while analysing a quote from 'Macbeth' or crafting a persuasive essay are the same critical thinking skills they'll need for A-Levels like Law, History, and Psychology. A strong GCSE in English gives them the best possible chance to study the subjects they love at college and builds a strong foundation for their university applications.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to go to Ashton Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them achieve the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced in helping students aim for specific grades needed for college entry. They can focus on the exact areas of the GCSE English curriculum your child needs to strengthen to secure their place on their chosen A-Level courses.
We're aiming for a competitive university in Manchester. How can an English tutor support my child's application?
A strong English A-Level is often a key requirement for top universities. A tutor can not only help your child succeed in their A-Level studies but also assist with crafting a compelling personal statement, which is a crucial part of the UCAS application process for universities in Manchester and beyond.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's so important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. 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.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, we have expert tutors who can help.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents just like you. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute chat to discuss your child's needs before you book, so you can feel confident you've found the perfect match.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £45 per hour depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn one-to-one with their tutor.
Are the tutors on your platform safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed to make a difference quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions, and 90% of our students improve their academic performance by at least one grade.
What does a typical English tutoring session look like?
There's no 'typical' session because every lesson is tailored to your child! It might involve working through tricky homework, practising exam techniques for a specific paper, analysing a poem together, or planning and writing an essay with expert guidance.
How do I know if my child really needs a tutor?
If you've noticed your child is losing confidence, seems stuck on certain topics, or isn't quite reaching their potential, a tutor could be a great help. It’s not just for struggling students; it’s also for those who want to push themselves to achieve the very top grades.
Can a tutor help with my child's confidence as well as their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits parents tell us about. The one-to-one attention from a supportive tutor helps your child feel understood and capable. As they start to grasp difficult topics, their self-belief grows, which has a positive impact on all their schoolwork.
