Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to apply to Colchester Institute. Can a tutor help them secure the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for specific colleges. They can focus on the exact skills and knowledge needed to achieve a Grade 4, 5, or higher in GCSE English, giving your child the best possible chance of getting a place on their desired course.
We live in Clacton-on-Sea. Are the tutors local?
Because all our tutoring is online, your child can connect with the very best English tutors from across the UK, not just those in the Clacton area. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists, ensuring you find the perfect match for your child's personality and learning needs, all from the comfort of your home.
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 for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Is this just for school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects from primary school to university, we also have expert tutors for hobbies and professional skills. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, coding, or even a new language, we can help.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings and reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable learning with.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Are 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. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-belief, which often has a bigger impact than the grades alone.
How do the online lessons work?
The lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so it feels just like being in the same room. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one hour-long lesson per week, as this consistency helps build momentum. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent sessions during exam periods or less frequent ones as needed, in agreement with your tutor.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors are great at keeping you in the loop. You can message your tutor at any time, and they will provide regular feedback on what they've covered and how your child is getting on. Seeing your child's confidence grow is often the first and best sign of progress.
Can a tutor really help improve my child's GCSE grade?
Yes, absolutely. Our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and we've seen one-to-one tutoring help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades. The focused, personal support makes a significant difference.
