Why a Strong GCSE in English Opens Doors for Your Child
A good grade in GCSE English is more than just a pass; it's a key that unlocks your child's next steps. It's the qualification that colleges and sixth forms look for, and it builds the foundation for success at A-Level and beyond. The ability to analyse a tricky quote from 'Macbeth' or structure a persuasive essay isn't just for exams – it's a vital skill for writing a compelling university application and thriving in higher education and future careers.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study A-Levels at Wiltshire College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. This is exactly what our tutors are here for. They can work with your child to identify any gaps in their knowledge, build their confidence, and focus on the specific skills needed to secure the GCSE grade they need for their chosen A-Level courses.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Bath or Bristol. Can an English tutor help with this long-term goal?
Yes, they can. While a tutor's immediate focus might be on GCSEs, the skills they teach in critical thinking, analysis, and communication are essential for A-Levels and for writing a strong university application. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for top universities.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple to find the perfect match on Tutorful. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter tutors by their experience with the GCSE curriculum. You can also message tutors before booking to make sure they're the right fit for your child's personality and learning style.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right connection is 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 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. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention from an expert can do wonders for a child's confidence. In a supportive space, they can ask questions they might not ask in class, work at their own pace, and start to see real progress, which is the best confidence booster there is.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the English GCSE, like the poetry anthology?
Definitely. Our English tutors are very familiar with the curriculum and can provide targeted support on specific texts, exam techniques, or any area your child finds challenging, like unseen poetry or Shakespeare.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week works well, especially in the run-up to exams. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what's best for your child and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we help thousands of students with academic subjects like English and Maths, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and playing the guitar to public speaking and creative writing.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to check their availability, and you could have your first lesson booked within a day. Over 200,000 happy students have already found their perfect tutor with us.
