It’s a qualification that colleges and employers look for first, helping your child stand out and pursue their ambitions.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child has their heart set on New College Doncaster. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors specialise in helping students meet the entry requirements for specific colleges. They can focus on the exact areas of the GCSE English curriculum your child needs to strengthen to secure that crucial pass and open the door to their chosen A-Levels.
We're worried about the competition for universities like Sheffield or Leeds. How can an English tutor help?
A strong English A-Level is often a key requirement for top universities. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed not just to achieve a top grade, but also to write a compelling personal statement that catches the eye of admissions teams.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from thousands of other parents. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat to discuss your child's needs before you book.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to find the perfect match for your child. If the first lesson isn't quite right, 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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and level, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget, with no hidden fees or subscriptions.
How does online tutoring work?
Lessons take place in our secure online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection. It's simple, secure, and really effective.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our absolute priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and interviewed by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help if my child lacks confidence in English?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. This personalised attention often leads to a big leap in self-belief.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
It varies for every child, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular support.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson a week, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and your family, whether that's weekly sessions or a few intensive lessons before an important exam.
Can I track my child's progress?
Of course. You and your child can chat with the tutor through our messaging system to discuss progress. Tutors will often provide feedback after each session on what was covered and what the next steps are.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We believe in learning for life! While we have amazing tutors for core subjects like English and Maths, you can also find experts to teach your child skills like coding, a new language, or even how to play the guitar.
