Why a Strong GCSE in English Opens Doors for Your Child
English isn't just another subject; it's a core qualification that employers and universities look for. A strong pass, well above a grade 4 or 5, demonstrates the vital communication and analytical skills your child will need for their future. Whether it's analysing quotes in 'An Inspector Calls' or crafting a persuasive argument for an essay, these skills are essential for thriving in A-Level studies at the school's sixth form or at Carlisle College, and for writing compelling university applications later on.

David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at Newcastle or Lancaster University. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students develop the high-level analytical and writing skills needed for strong A-Level performance and compelling UCAS applications, giving them the best possible chance of securing a place at their preferred university.
The focus is on GCSEs at The Nelson Thomlinson School. Can tutors align with their specific curriculum?
Definitely. Our tutors can tailor lessons to the specific texts, exam boards (like AQA or Edexcel), and assessment objectives your child is studying at school. This ensures the support is directly relevant and helps them feel more prepared for their actual exams.
How can a tutor help my child move from a grade 4 to a 6 or higher in English?
Our tutors specialise in identifying the specific areas holding a student back. By focusing on exam technique, improving essay structure, or deepening their understanding of key texts, a tutor provides targeted support that can make a significant difference to their final grade.
How do I find the right English tutor for my child in Wigton?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience, such as GCSE English Language or Literature. You can read their profiles, watch their intro videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also send them a message first to make sure they're a good fit before booking.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have a 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 the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are identity and background-checked. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn one-to-one with their tutor from home.
My child lacks confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which helps to build self-belief and a more positive attitude towards the subject.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but typically range from £25 to £45 per hour. All pricing is clearly shown on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.
What results can I expect from tutoring?
We have a strong track record of success, with 90% of students improving by at least one grade. You can join a community of over 200,000 happy students who have used Tutorful to achieve their goals. Our platform has a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 customer reviews.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session per week is ideal for making steady progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have experts in core subjects like English and Maths, we also have tutors for a huge range of skills, from learning the guitar and coding to speaking a new language. It's all about helping your child discover their passions.
