Why a Strong GCSE in English is Key for Your Child
A great grade in English isn't just about passing an exam; it's a vital qualification that top sixth forms and universities look for. It shows your child can think critically, build a convincing argument, and communicate clearly – essential skills for any A-Level course. Whether they're analysing quotes in 'An Inspector Calls' or structuring a persuasive essay, the abilities they develop in English are the bedrock of their future academic success.

Raquel A
Supportive and Structured English Tutor
Hello and welcome! My name is Raquel and I look forward to meeting you soon. In the meantime, allow me to share with you why I choose to tutor: Mixed memories of middle school and college spring to mind. Excitement bubbling up to return to school after a fun and well spend summer holiday with family and friends. What formed part of the anticipation was the sense of being ready. Ready to sit in class with fellow classmates, ready to take home homework, planning and organising assignments.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're hoping for Peter Symonds or Barton Peveril. Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grades they need?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top grades. They can focus on mastering the specific curriculum, honing exam techniques, and building the analytical skills needed to stand out and secure a place at a competitive sixth form college.
My child wants to study at a top university like Southampton or Bristol. How important is their GCSE English grade?
It's very important. Universities often see GCSE English as a key indicator of a student's ability to cope with the demands of degree-level study. A strong grade provides a solid foundation for A-Levels and demonstrates the critical thinking and communication skills they'll need to succeed.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, check their qualifications, experience, and reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a session to make sure you find the perfect match.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the right fit, which is 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?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone. Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents, making sessions engaging and effective.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best in a safe environment.
My child is really lacking confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic way to build confidence. In a supportive, patient environment, your child can ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and help them see their own progress, which can transform their attitude towards the subject.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experts in both and can provide support across the entire GCSE curriculum. You can check their profile bios or send them a direct message to confirm they cover the specific areas your child needs help with.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the focused attention of one-to-one tutoring means progress can happen quickly. Consistent sessions help to build knowledge and confidence week by week, which is why 90% of students see their grades improve.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language.
How do I pay for the lessons?
Paying for lessons is straightforward and secure. You add your payment details to your account, and you're only charged after each lesson is completed. There's no need to book blocks of lessons or pay large sums upfront.
