Does your child need help to pass GCSE English Language?

Today is the day we have all been waiting for. Young People all across the country are receiving their GCSE Results. The news is reporting a decline in those receiving a pass. In fact only 67% of students have received a grade 4 or above. Therefore, if your child has been disappointed today you may feel that your situation is very grim. However, do not panic! Your child will receive the support they need to move forward. It is now a requirement that all students entering school or college courses resit English and Maths. You may also find that apprenticeships require a Grade 4 or above in these subjects.

You can increase your child’s chances next time by hiring a tutor. If you do, your child will progress significantly more than just the one or two lessons provided by the school. Unfortunately, the pass rate for a November resit has been as low as 34.9%! This is due to a stricter boundary in grading but I would argue that schools are often slow to set up their resit classes which reduces the amount of time to improve and be in a position to pass in November.

If you hire a tutor, your child will get a September start and tuition in small groups has been proven to increase academic attainment by four months. Tuition offers a bespoke experience where the tutor can quickly assess skill weaknesses and address these head on. There will be a focus on making sure that your child understands how to gain the marks by examing mark schemes and engaging in lots of active practice. Feedback will be immediate and a student can quickly address any misconceptions.

VB Tutoring will be offering Online English Resit Classes from September. Victoria is an examiner and experienced in getting students to progress and gain that pass. She expects to have lots of enquiries today so please fill out the contact form to secure your child’s place today.

Let’s end today on a positive note and get your child closer to that pass!
