Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

The competition for sixth form places in Lewisham is intense. Can a tutor help my child achieve the grade 7s they need in English?

Absolutely. This is a common goal for many parents we work with. A tutor can provide focused, one-to-one support to help your child move beyond a 'strong pass' and target the top grades (7-9) needed for competitive A-Level subjects and sixth form entry.

My child is aiming for a Russell Group university. How can an English tutor support their application beyond just GCSEs?

Our tutors can be a fantastic help. For A-Level students, they can deepen subject knowledge and refine exam technique. They can also offer invaluable guidance on crafting a compelling personal statement, helping your child articulate their ideas clearly and stand out to university admissions teams.

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

It's all about finding the right fit. You can read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos, and message tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Many tutors are experts in particular areas, like GCSE exam preparation or creative writing, so you can find someone with the perfect experience.

What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?

We understand that the right student-tutor relationship is key to success. 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 much does an online English tutor in Lewisham cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price on our website to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

How do online lessons work?

They take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child to collaborate with their tutor just as they would in person. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.

How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?

Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them see their own progress and build lasting self-belief.

Can a tutor help with specific texts, like 'Macbeth' or the poetry anthology?

Yes, definitely. Many of our English tutors are specialists in the GCSE and A-Level curriculum. They can provide expert guidance on analysing key themes, characters, and quotes for the specific texts your child is studying.

Is tutoring just for academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer tutoring for a huge range of pursuits, not just school subjects. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find experienced tutors on our platform.

How long does a typical tutoring session last?

The standard session length is one hour, which is usually perfect for maintaining focus and covering a good amount of material. However, you can always discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.

How quickly can we get started?

Very quickly. You can browse for tutors, send messages, and book your first session today. Many tutors have availability within the next few days, so you can find the right support for your child right away.
