Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for Haberdashers' Hatcham College. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students prepare for entry into competitive schools. They can focus on strengthening core English skills, improving exam technique, and building the confidence your child needs to perform at their best.
Can a tutor help my child with their personal statement for universities like King's College or Goldsmiths?
Yes, this is a great way to use a tutor. An expert English tutor can help your child structure their ideas, refine their writing, and articulate their ambitions clearly, which is vital for applications to competitive universities.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding the right personality match is just as important as their expertise.
My child has lost confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is one of the most important things a tutor does. In a one-to-one setting, there's no fear of asking 'silly' questions. Tutors create a safe, encouraging space where your child can build back their self-belief at their own pace.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home, with all their lesson notes saved in one place.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked with an enhanced DBS check, and has their references and qualifications verified. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
How much does an online 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 contracts.
Is tutoring just for 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 music, languages, and practical skills like coding. It's all about helping your child pursue their passions.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns differently, but consistency is key. Our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
The tutor will tailor the session to your child's needs. It might start with a quick chat about a recent school lesson, then move on to tackling a specific area they find difficult, like analysing poetry or practising essay structure for an upcoming exam. It's all focused on them.
How many lessons a week do you recommend?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is a great starting point. This provides consistent support without overwhelming your child. You can always discuss the right frequency with your chosen tutor based on your child's goals.
