Building the English Skills Your Child Needs for Sixth Form and Beyond
A strong GCSE in English is more than just a qualification; it’s a toolkit for your child's future. It’s the ability to confidently analyse a quote from 'Macbeth' or structure a compelling argument in an essay. These are the exact skills that sixth forms and top universities like UCL and King's College look for. A great tutor can help your child master these, potentially improving their GCSE results by up to two grades and opening doors to the A-Levels and degrees they aspire to.

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is worried about their GCSE English grade for a competitive sixth form near Wood Green. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for many parents. Our tutors specialise in helping students build the specific skills and confidence needed to improve their grades. They can focus on exam technique, essay writing, and textual analysis to help your child meet the entry requirements for their chosen sixth form.
We're hoping for a top London university like UCL or King's. Can a tutor help with the skills needed for that?
Yes. A great English tutor does more than just prepare for exams; they teach students how to think critically and articulate complex ideas. These are essential skills for writing a compelling personal statement and thriving in the essay-based subjects common at leading universities.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, 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. You can easily filter tutors on our site by price to find an expert who fits your budget. All pricing is clearly displayed on their profiles with no hidden costs.
How do online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, a shared whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s a secure and interactive space where your child can learn effectively from the comfort of your home. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform must pass an ID check and have an up-to-date DBS or background check before they can start teaching. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive environment makes a huge difference. A tutor can break down topics your child finds tricky, celebrate small wins, and show them they are capable of improving. This personalised encouragement is often the key to unlocking their confidence.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language or public speaking.
Can a tutor help with specific texts, like Shakespeare or modern poetry?
Yes, definitely. Our English tutors are experts in the curriculum and can provide focused support on any text your child is studying, helping them to analyse themes, characters, and language in the depth required for top grades.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is ideal for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You can arrange lessons to fit your child's needs, whether that's a regular weekly slot or a few extra sessions before an exam.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change you'll likely see first is in your child's confidence and attitude towards the subject, which is the foundation for academic success.
