Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
The local schools have high expectations. Can we find a tutor experienced in helping students achieve top GCSE grades (7-9)?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students move from a pass to top grades. You can check their profiles for experience with specific exam boards and their track record of helping students secure grades 7, 8, and 9, which can make all the difference for competitive sixth form applications.
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Leeds. Can a tutor help with their personal statement?
Definitely. While our tutors primarily focus on curriculum subjects, many have extensive experience in university applications. They can help your child structure their personal statement, refine their writing, and articulate their ambitions clearly, which is a crucial part of the UCAS process.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to read tutor profiles and reviews from other parents. Look for someone whose experience matches your child's needs, whether that's GCSE exam preparation or building foundational reading skills. You can also message tutors beforehand to ask about their teaching style.
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, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. If for any reason you feel the first lesson wasn't quite right, our First Lesson Guarantee has you covered. Just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do you ensure tutors are safe to work with children?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every single tutor and they must all provide a valid DBS check or equivalent background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so your child and their tutor can work together just as they would in person. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. This supportive environment is often the key to helping their confidence grow, which in turn boosts their results.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but regular, focused sessions can make a real difference quite quickly. For GCSE students, our data shows that tutoring can help improve their final grade by up to two grades, which is why starting early can be so beneficial.
Can we get help with both English Language and English Literature?
Of course. Most of our English tutors are experts in both and can tailor lessons to cover whichever area your child needs the most support with, from analysing Shakespeare to mastering grammar and punctuation.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something creative like Music or Art?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Your child can learn to play the guitar, get support with their art portfolio, learn a new language, or even take up coding. There are hundreds of subjects to explore.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
A tutor will usually start by checking in on what your child has been doing at school. The lesson will then focus on the specific goals you've agreed on, whether that's planning an essay, working through a difficult text, or practising exam techniques on the interactive whiteboard.
