Why a Top English Grade is Essential for Their Next Step

A strong English GCSE is more than just a qualification; it's the key that unlocks doors to competitive sixth forms like Esher College and leading Russell Group universities. For sought-after degrees in law, history, or journalism, admissions tutors look for exceptional analytical and communication skills. Our tutors help your child develop these by breaking down complex texts, from analysing Shakespeare's language in *Macbeth* to crafting compelling arguments for their literature essays, preparing them for A-Levels and beyond.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for Esher College. Can a tutor help them achieve the top English grades needed?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the specific requirements of the GCSE syllabus and know what's needed to push for those top grades 8 and 9. They can focus on the precise skills and exam techniques that will help your child's application stand out for competitive sixth forms.

The teaching at schools like Waldegrave and Orleans Park is excellent. How does tutoring add value?

Great teaching in a class of 30 is fantastic, but one-to-one tutoring offers something different: completely personalised attention. A tutor can focus entirely on your child's individual sticking points, whether it's understanding a particular poet or mastering essay structure, in a way that simply isn't possible in a classroom setting.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors who have experience with your child's specific exam board and goals, then sending them a message to see who feels like the best fit for your child's personality.

How much does online English tutoring cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.

How can a tutor help my child with their confidence?

Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. As they start to master topics they once found tricky, you'll likely see their self-belief grow, both in and out of the classroom.

How are your tutors vetted?

We take your child's safety and quality of learning very seriously. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID and qualifications verified. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.

What happens in a typical online English lesson?

Lessons are tailored to your child's needs. A session might involve working through a difficult piece of coursework, practising exam-style questions, analysing a text together on the interactive whiteboard, or planning and structuring an essay. The focus is always on what will help your child make the most progress.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know that the right personal connection is vital 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 long are the sessions and how often should we have them?

Most sessions are one hour long, and most families find that one session a week is effective. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange session length and frequency directly with your tutor to fit around your child's schedule and learning goals.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also see their confidence grow as they become more comfortable with the subject. The clearest sign, of course, is seeing their results and understanding improve at school.

Can a tutor help my child prepare for a Russell Group university application?

Yes, many of our English tutors have experience helping students prepare for university. They can help with personal statements, develop advanced analytical skills for A-Levels, and build the strong academic foundation needed for applications to top universities for humanities or law degrees.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we have experts for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also offer tutoring for a huge range of other interests. Your child can learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or learning a new language.
