Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

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

Yes, absolutely. Many parents in Tottenham come to us with this exact goal. Our tutors can focus specifically on helping your child master the curriculum to achieve the high GCSE English grades (7-9) that are often required for entry into selective sixth forms.

We're worried about our child's chances of getting into a Russell Group university in London. How can an English tutor help?

A great English tutor does more than just prepare for exams. They help your child develop the advanced skills top universities look for: critical thinking, constructing a compelling argument, and articulating complex ideas. This builds a strong foundation for demanding A-Level courses and writing a powerful personal statement.

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

It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check tutors' qualifications on their profiles. You can also send a message to a tutor before you book to discuss your child's needs and make sure it feels like a good fit.

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

We know how important the right connection is. That's why we have our 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 do you check your tutors are safe and professional?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 applicants. All our tutors are background-checked, and we verify their ID to ensure you have complete peace of mind.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are based on their experience and qualifications. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

My child has lost confidence in English. Can a tutor help?

Definitely. One-to-one tuition provides a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor will celebrate small wins and build their self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork and beyond.

How do the online lessons work?

All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for marking up texts or planning essays, and a space to share documents. It’s simple to use and has everything your child needs to learn effectively.

Do you only offer academic subjects like English?

Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or speak a new language, we can help.

How often should my child have a lesson?

It’s completely flexible and up to you. Most families find a one-hour session each week works well to build momentum and consolidate school learning, especially in the run-up to GCSEs. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.

What kind of results can we expect from tutoring?

While every child's journey is different, we're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs specifically, our tailored support can help students improve their final results by up to two grades.

What does my child need to prepare for their first lesson?

Nothing complicated! It’s helpful if they have a think about what they find tricky in English. They could bring along recent schoolwork or an essay, or simply be ready to chat with their new tutor about what they want to achieve. The first session is all about getting to know each other.
