Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is worried about getting the grades for South Essex College. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the 'strong pass' (Grade 5 or above) in GCSE English needed for competitive A-Level courses. They can focus on specific areas of the curriculum to build your child's skills and confidence ahead of their exams.

We're hoping for a place at the University of Essex in the future. Can tutoring help now?

Yes, building a strong academic foundation early is key. A tutor can help your child master the analytical and writing skills in GCSE and A-Level English that are essential for university-level study and for crafting a compelling personal statement when the time comes.

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

You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking a lesson to make sure you find the perfect fit.

How much does an English tutor in Basildon cost?

The price of tutoring varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Our tutors set their own rates, so you can easily find an experienced, high-quality tutor whose prices fit your family's budget.

What if we don't like the first lesson?

We want you and your child to feel completely comfortable. With 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 make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every single tutor and they must all pass a background check. We are 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 can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?

One-to-one lessons are brilliant for building confidence. A tutor can create a supportive, patient environment where your child feels safe to ask questions and make mistakes without fear of judgement. Celebrating small wins helps rebuild their self-belief.

How do online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for them to learn from the comfort of home.

How quickly can my child start lessons?

You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors respond within a few hours, and you could have your first lesson booked for this week, giving your child the support they need right away.

Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than English?

Yes, we have expert tutors for over 300 subjects, from Maths and Science for GCSEs and A-Levels to university-level topics. Whatever your child needs help with, we have a specialist tutor who can help.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?

It's for everything! We believe learning is for life. Alongside academic subjects, we have thousands of expert tutors who can teach practical and creative skills like coding, learning a musical instrument, or even a new language.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Our tutors provide feedback after each lesson to keep you updated on what was covered and how your child is getting on. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress and goals.
