Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study A-Levels at USP College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE English specialists and have experience helping students secure the high grades needed for competitive college courses. They can focus on specific areas of the curriculum, from exam technique to essay writing, to give your child the best chance of meeting the entry requirements.
We're worried about the competition from local grammar schools. How can an online tutor help my child keep up?
This is a common concern for parents. A one-to-one tutor provides personalised attention that isn't always possible in a busy classroom. They can identify and strengthen your child's specific weak spots, build their confidence, and provide the focused support they need to not just keep up, but to feel truly confident in their own abilities.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for your child's success. That's why we offer a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat before you book, which is a great way to see if their teaching style is a good match for your child's personality and learning needs.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts to worry about.
Can a tutor help if my child's confidence in English is low?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and patiently working through challenges can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sketching out ideas, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and verify their ID and qualifications. All of our tutors must have a valid DBS background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress, especially in the run-up to exams. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange sessions with your tutor at a frequency that works for your child's needs and your family's schedule.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress and the topics they've been covering. Seeing your child's confidence grow and their school results improve is often the clearest sign of success.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child also learn something like guitar or coding?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also believe in learning for life. You can find expert tutors for a huge range of skills and hobbies, from learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python.
How can a tutor specifically help my child improve their GCSE English grade?
A specialist GCSE tutor can focus on exactly what the examiners are looking for. They can help your child deconstruct complex texts, build a bank of useful quotes, perfect their essay structure, and master their exam timing. This targeted support can make a huge difference, with 90% of our students improving by at least one grade.
