Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is So Important
English is more than just a subject; it's a key qualification that employers and colleges look for first. A strong pass in GCSE English shows that your child can communicate clearly, analyse information, and build a convincing argument – skills that are vital for any course at Barnsley College, a competitive apprenticeship, or future career. Whether it's breaking down complex quotes in 'Macbeth' or structuring a persuasive essay for their language paper, mastering these skills gives your child a real advantage.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Astrea Academy Dearne. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade needed for Barnsley College?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Thurnscoe come to us. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure those crucial Grade 4s and 5s in GCSE English, focusing on the specific areas your child needs to improve to meet the entry requirements for college or apprenticeships.
Are the tutors familiar with the exam board my child is studying?
Yes. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience with all the major UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. You can check a tutor's profile to see their specific experience or ask them directly in a message before you book.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best place to start is by reading tutor profiles and reviews from other parents. You can see their experience, qualifications, and teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to explain your child's needs – it's a great way to find someone your child will get on with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial 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.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £20 to £45 per hour. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have the flexibility to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can tutoring help improve my child's confidence?
Confidence often grows from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy to ask in class. As their tutor helps them grasp difficult topics and they see their skills improve, their self-belief naturally grows.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed by our team and must provide a valid DBS check. We also verify their ID and qualifications. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How often should my child have an English lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great way to build momentum and make consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You and your tutor can decide on a schedule that works best for your child's goals and your family's routine.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have tutors for every academic subject you can think of, we also have experts who teach practical and creative skills. You can find tutors for everything from coding and public speaking to learning the guitar or a new language.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide you with regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also see their confidence grow as they start to feel more positive about their English lessons at school. Many parents tell us they see a real difference in just a few sessions.
Can tutoring help my child improve their GCSE grade?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. In fact, we find that focused one-to-one tutoring can help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades. It gives them the dedicated attention they need to overcome specific challenges and achieve their best.
