Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study A-Levels at Oldham College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE grades they need?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades needed for their next steps. They can focus specifically on the GCSE curriculum, helping your child build the academic English skills required to succeed across all their subjects and meet the entry requirements for colleges like Oldham College.
We want our child to be ready for university in Manchester. Can an EFL tutor help with that level of academic English?
Yes. Many of our English As A Foreign Language tutors are experienced in preparing students for higher education. They can help your child master the advanced skills needed for university-level work, such as critical analysis, academic writing, and confident debating, giving them a strong foundation for success.
How do I choose the right EFL tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. You can read detailed profiles for each tutor, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with. You can even send a message to a tutor before booking to discuss your child's needs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit 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 can a tutor help my child feel more confident at school?
Confidence often comes from understanding. When a tutor gives your child a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgment, they start to fill in their knowledge gaps. This understanding builds their self-belief, which they then take back into the classroom.
How much does an English As A Foreign Language tutor cost in Oldham?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of expertise. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find quality support that fits your family's budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting just 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space to share documents. It's a fantastic way for your child to learn one-to-one, from the comfort and convenience of your home.
Do you only offer academic subjects?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have amazing tutors who can teach your child skills like playing the guitar, coding in Python, or even learning a new language for fun.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour session each week works perfectly to build momentum and see real progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange sessions more or less frequently depending on your child's goals and your family's schedule.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored, one-to-one approach is designed to get results. Because lessons focus on your child's exact needs, progress can happen quickly. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
