Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grade needed for Hartlepool Sixth Form College?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common goals we help with. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the crucial Grade 4 or 5 in GCSE English needed for entry into colleges like Hartlepool Sixth Form and other further education courses.
My child is thinking about university. Can a tutor help with A-Levels for places like Teesside or Durham?
Yes. Many of our tutors specialise in A-Level English and can provide the in-depth support needed to achieve the higher grades required for competitive university courses, including those at excellent local universities like Teesside and Durham.
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 tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding a good personality fit is just as important as their qualifications.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Tutor prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget, with rates clearly displayed on every tutor's profile.
What happens if we don't get on with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As their tutor helps them overcome challenges, their self-belief grows, which often has a positive impact on their other subjects too.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors are DBS-checked, and we interview every single one. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
Can a tutor help with specific texts, like 'An Inspector Calls' or 'Macbeth'?
Yes. Tutors can provide expert guidance on specific set texts for GCSE or A-Level English. They can help your child analyse key quotes, understand characters and themes, and structure essays to earn the highest marks.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, many parents find it even more effective. Our online classroom has interactive tools like a shared whiteboard, and all sessions are recorded so your child can review them later. Plus, it saves you travel time and gives you access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those nearby.
How long will my child need tutoring for?
This really depends on your child's goals. Some students need a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
What exam boards do your English tutors cover?
Our tutors have experience with all major UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC. You can check a tutor's profile to see which boards they specialise in or message them to ask directly.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academics, your child can learn practical skills like coding, a new language, or even how to play a musical instrument like the guitar or piano. There's something for every interest.
