Why a Strong English Grade is So Important for Your Child's Future
English is more than just another subject; it's a core skill that underpins all other learning. Mastering how to analyse a quote from 'Macbeth' or structure a persuasive essay gives your child the tools they need to succeed across the board. For many A-Level courses and university degrees, a Grade 5 or above in GCSE English isn't just desirable—it's a requirement. The right support helps ensure these doors remain wide open for your child's future.

I also enjoy learning about different eye conditions which can be used to detect issues in visual health and how eye examinations can be used to detect different health issues such as diabetes , eye tumours and pressure levels.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to a specific sixth form in Brent. Can a tutor help them meet the English entry requirements?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are experienced in helping students meet the specific grade requirements for local sixth forms and colleges. You can discuss your child's goals with tutors before booking to find someone who is the perfect fit to help them secure their place.
We're worried about the literature part of the GCSE English exam. Do your tutors have experience with this?
Yes, this is a very common concern and our tutors are well-equipped to help. Many specialise in GCSE English Literature, focusing on key skills like poetry analysis, character development, and essay writing to help students build confidence and improve their grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before you book a lesson.
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 can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also personally interview each applicant and are very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
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. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so your child and their tutor can work together just as they would in person. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. When a child feels heard and understood, their confidence naturally grows. Our tutors are experts at creating a positive, encouraging learning environment where your child feels safe to ask questions and make mistakes.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
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! From learning to code in Python to playing the guitar or speaking a new language, we're here to support all of your child's learning goals.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's English grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our experience shows that consistent, weekly lessons lead to the best results. The personalised attention means a tutor can quickly identify areas for improvement and start making a difference from the very first session.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
A typical lesson is tailored to your child's specific needs. It might start with a quick review of the previous week's topic, then move on to tackling a new concept, such as analysing a poem or planning an essay. The tutor will use the interactive whiteboard to share examples and work through problems together.
Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?
No, there are no contracts or long-term commitments. You have the flexibility to book lessons week by week. Many parents find that arranging a regular weekly slot helps their child build momentum and stay on track with their learning.
