Opening Doors for Your Child with a Strong English GCSE
A good grade in English isn't just another qualification; it's a key that unlocks your child's future. It's often the first thing colleges and sixth forms look for, and it builds the foundation for success at competitive universities like Birmingham or Aston. The skills they develop – from analysing a complex poem to structuring a persuasive argument – are skills for life. Our tutors help your child master these, giving them the confidence to aim high and pursue the path they choose.

Personalised English Support That Builds Your Child's Confidence
The right tutor does more than just teach; they get to know your child as an individual. We know how important it is to find someone you can trust, which is why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, and all are background-checked. They'll take the time to understand how your child learns best and adapt their approach, turning tricky topics like analysing 'Macbeth' from a challenge into an achievement. Every online lesson is built entirely around your child's needs. If they're struggling with essay structure for their English Literature exam, the session will focus on that. If it's the finer points of grammar for English Language, their tutor will create targeted exercises to help it click. This personal focus is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, with many GCSE students improving by up to two grades. Finding that support shouldn't add to your family's stress. With online tutoring, you can connect with the best English tutors from across the UK, without leaving your home in Tamworth. You can schedule lessons at times that fit around school, clubs, and family life, making it a simple, flexible way to give your child the support they deserve.

Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study A-Levels at South Staffordshire College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many parents in Tamworth share this goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades they need, typically a 5 or 6, for their chosen post-16 path. They can focus specifically on the areas of the English curriculum your child finds most challenging to build their skills and confidence ahead of their exams.
We're hoping for a place at a university like Birmingham or Aston. How can an English tutor support this?
A strong foundation in English is critical for a competitive university application. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and writing skills needed for A-Levels and beyond. They can also provide invaluable support with crafting a compelling personal statement when the time comes.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Think about your child's personality and learning style. Are they shy and in need of a patient mentor, or do they thrive with a more energetic approach? Finding the right match is key to their success.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is essential for learning. 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.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an ID and background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an option that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments; you simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for problem-solving, and a space to share documents and past papers. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child with confidence, not just grades?
Confidence is often the biggest barrier to success. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. A great tutor celebrates small wins and helps your child see their own progress, which can transform their entire attitude towards learning.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and a more positive approach to their English homework.
Can a tutor help with specific exam boards like AQA or Edexcel?
Yes. Many of our tutors have extensive experience with the specific requirements of different exam boards. You can see their areas of expertise on their profiles and can message them before booking to ensure they are familiar with your child's curriculum.
What's the difference between English Language and Literature tutoring?
While related, they focus on different skills. English Language tutoring typically covers grammar, creative writing, and analysing non-fiction texts. English Literature focuses on analysing novels, plays, and poetry. Many tutors cover both, but you can find specialists for whichever area your child needs the most help with.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have expert tutors who can teach your child life-long skills like coding, playing the guitar, or learning a new language.
