Why a Strong GCSE in English Opens Doors for Your Child
GCSE English is more than just a qualification; it's the foundation for your child's future academic journey. Strong analytical and communication skills are essential for the essay-based A-Levels that universities like Bristol and Exeter value so highly. Whether it’s structuring a powerful argument or deeply analysing a quote from 'Macbeth', the abilities your child develops in English are the exact ones they'll need to succeed in higher education and beyond.

Hello! My name is Sophie and I graduated from Durham University in English Literature in June 2024.

I also come from a big family, so I love spending time with them when we are together. I grew up internationally and lived in several countries before finally moving back to the UK.I also write my...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study A-Levels at Yeovil College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grades?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the top grades (7-9) needed for competitive A-Level courses. They can focus on specific exam board requirements, improve essay writing, and build the analytical skills needed to meet and exceed the entry criteria for places like Yeovil College.
We're aiming for a top sixth form like The Gryphon School. Can we find a specialist tutor?
Definitely. You can filter tutors by their experience and expertise. Many have a proven track record of helping students achieve the high grades required for entry into selective sixth forms. You can read their profiles and reviews from other parents to find the perfect match for your child's goals.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a personal choice, and we make it easy. You can watch introductory videos, read detailed profiles, and check reviews from thousands of other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to ensure you find someone who is a great fit for their personality and learning style.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right connection is key to 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 does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It allows your child to get face-to-face, one-to-one support from an expert tutor without you having to travel.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity and background check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find a brilliant, trusted tutor who also fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child with exam technique?
Exam technique is often the key to unlocking higher grades. A tutor can teach your child how to understand what questions are really asking, how to structure their answers for maximum marks, and how to manage their time effectively under pressure. This can make a huge difference to their final result.
My child finds analysing poetry really difficult. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is a very common challenge and a perfect example of how one-to-one tutoring can help. A tutor can break down complex poems, explain literary devices in a way that makes sense to your child, and build their confidence in expressing their own interpretations.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or could my child learn something new?
While we offer fantastic support for school subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have 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. It's all about changing lives through learning, whatever the subject.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which most students find is the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor if your child would benefit from a shorter or longer session.
How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?
You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors respond to messages within a few hours. Once you've found the right person for your child and agreed on a time, you can book your first session and begin making progress right away.
