Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form in London. Can a tutor help with this?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the top GCSE grades (7, 8, and 9) needed for entry into London's selective sixth forms. They can focus on strengthening your child's analytical and essay-writing skills to help them stand out.

We're hoping for a place at a top London university like UCL or Imperial. How can English tutoring support this goal?

Strong grades in subjects like English at A-Level are crucial for applications to leading universities. A tutor can help your child master the advanced analytical skills required, building a solid foundation at GCSE that prepares them for A-Level success and a strong university application.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals, whether that's improving their creative writing or preparing for their GCSE exams, to find the perfect match.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. That's why we have a 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 much does an online English tutor in London cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter your search to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How can a tutor help my child with their essay writing?

This is one of the most common areas where a tutor can make a huge difference. They can show your child how to structure an argument, analyse texts effectively, use evidence to support their points, and refine their writing style to meet the examiner's criteria.

How does online tutoring work?

It's simple and convenient. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.

How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?

One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor works wonders for confidence. In a space where it's safe to ask questions and make mistakes, your child can tackle difficult topics at their own pace. As their understanding grows, so does their self-belief.

What exam boards do your English tutors cover?

Our tutors have experience with all major UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. You can check a tutor's profile to see their specific areas of expertise or message them directly to ask about your child's exam board.

How quickly will we see an improvement in our child's results?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our personalised approach is designed for progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with coding in Python, or even learn a new language. There's a tutor for almost any goal.
