Why Strong GCSEs Are So Important for Their Next Steps

Getting a good set of GCSEs isn't just about passing exams; it's about opening doors. These qualifications are the key to securing a place on the right A-Level courses at colleges like Runshaw, which in turn builds a strong foundation for an application to prestigious northern universities in cities like Manchester or Liverpool. Whether it's finally getting to grips with algebra for their Maths paper or learning how to analyse quotes effectively for 'Macbeth', the skills they build now will serve them for years to come. In fact, our tutors can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.

Personalised Tutoring That Puts Your Child First

We know that the best results come from a real partnership. That’s why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from an expert who is not only brilliant at their subject but also knows how to connect with young people. All our tutors are background-checked, and you can read reviews from other parents to find the perfect personality match for your child. They'll take the time to understand exactly how your child learns and what they're struggling with. Every lesson is designed around your child's specific needs. Forget a one-size-fits-all approach; if your child needs to spend a whole session on trigonometry or essay structure, that's exactly what they'll do. This tailored support in a calm, one-to-one setting helps them ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class, building their confidence and helping them make real, measurable progress. Finding the right support shouldn't add to your stress. With online tutoring, you can connect with the best tutors from across the UK right from your home in Adlington. There’s no travel, and lessons can be scheduled to fit around your family's busy life. It’s simple, flexible, and trusted by the parents of over 200,000 happy students.

Adeela N
I started lessons with Adeela in September because I’m resitting my a level economics and she has been incredibly helpful, she focuses on chains of analysis and evaluations which are essentially needed to go from lower to higher marks, which I struggled with during sixth form. She knows plenty of real world applications that she brings in when we discuss a topic and doing exam questions, I appreciate the fact that she focuses on exam questions a lot and she takes time to mark my answers and offers loads feedback:)

Mu daughter has recently started A-level maths lessons with Charlie. He is an excellent teacher. The lessons are well structured, with a strong focus on exam-style questions, which is exactly what is needed at this level. He also provides clear, constructive feedback after each session, which has been very helpful. We would highly recommend him to other A-level students.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child has their heart set on Runshaw College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE grades they need?

Absolutely. Our tutors specialise in helping students prepare for their GCSEs. They can identify any areas of weakness, strengthen your child's subject knowledge, and teach them effective exam techniques to help them secure the grades needed for their desired A-Level courses at Runshaw.

We're hoping for a top university like Manchester or Liverpool. How does tutoring now help with that?

Strong GCSEs are the first crucial step towards a top university. They lead to the right A-Level choices, which form the basis of a strong UCAS application. By helping your child achieve their best at this stage, a tutor is building the foundation for their future academic success.

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 for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Adlington?

You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience. We recommend messaging a few tutors for a free chat before booking to make sure you find the perfect match for your child's personality and learning style.

Are the tutors properly vetted?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must pass an interview and have their ID and background checks verified before they can teach on our platform.

How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?

Often, a lack of confidence comes from not wanting to ask questions in a busy classroom. In a one-to-one lesson, your child has a safe space to say "I don't understand" without any pressure. This personalised attention helps them master topics at their own pace, which is a huge confidence booster.

How much does online tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, and you can use our search filters to find tutors that fit within your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, a shared interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools. Your child can speak with their tutor face-to-face and work through problems together, just like they would in person.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also offer support for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or prepare for their 11+, you can find an expert tutor here.

How long are the lessons and how often should they be?

Lessons are typically one hour long, and most families find that one session per week is a great starting point. However, the schedule is completely flexible and up to you. You can arrange whatever frequency works best for your child and your family.

How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?

You can get started very quickly. Simply search for your subject, message a few tutors to check their availability, and book your first lesson. Many parents are able to find the right tutor and have their first session booked within 24 hours.

What subjects do you offer tutoring for?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. This includes all the core academic subjects from Primary up to degree level, such as Maths, English and Biology, as well as languages, humanities, and practical skills.
