Why a Strong GCSE in English is Key for Your Child's Future
English isn't just about passing an exam; it's the key that unlocks your child's future choices. A strong GCSE grade in English Language and Literature is often a requirement for competitive A-Level courses and is highly valued by top universities. The skills they'll develop – from analysing a quote in 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument – are skills for life, giving them the confidence to succeed in whatever path they choose.

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 wants to study A-Levels at Kendal College. Can a tutor help them secure the right GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE English specialists. They can create a personalised learning plan to target the exact areas your child needs to improve, helping them build the skills and confidence needed to achieve the grades required for their chosen A-Level courses.
We're worried about the step up from The Lakes School to a competitive university like Lancaster. How can a tutor help?
A tutor can be a fantastic partner in bridging that gap. They provide the focused, one-to-one attention that helps deepen your child's understanding beyond the curriculum. This not only builds confidence and improves grades but also develops the independent thinking skills that are so important for success at university.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view tutors' profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child connects with.
What if we don't click with the first 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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This means you can find an amazing, qualified tutor that fits your family's budget.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check. We also manually vet each application, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply, to ensure your child learns from the very best.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Confidence is at the heart of what we do. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of being judged. Tutors celebrate small wins and help your child see their own progress, which can transform how they feel about a subject and about learning in general.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work together in real-time, just like they would in person.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, definitely. Many of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both parts of the curriculum. You can see their specific areas of expertise on their profiles and discuss your child's individual needs with them directly.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's English results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our experience shows that consistent, weekly lessons can make a significant difference. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The key is the regular, personalised support that helps concepts click into place.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts in core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for music, languages, coding, and professional skills. It's all about helping your child pursue their passions.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about their goals, what they find tricky in English, and what they enjoy. It's a relaxed session designed to build rapport and create a plan for future lessons.
