Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to Wales High School or Thomas Rotherham College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grade?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE specialists and have extensive experience helping students secure the Grade 5 or above needed for entry into competitive sixth forms. They can focus specifically on the exam board your child is studying to build their skills and confidence.
We're thinking ahead to university at places like Sheffield Hallam. How can English tuition help with that?
Strong English skills are vital for university. Tutoring helps develop the critical thinking, essay writing, and analytical abilities that A-Level courses and universities look for. A tutor can help your child build a strong foundation now that will serve them well in their future academic career.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask questions before you book. We recommend finding someone your child will get on with, who has experience with their specific goals, whether it's exam preparation or general confidence building.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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 cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £20 to £40 per hour depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, making it easy for your child to collaborate with their tutor just as they would in person.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity and background check, before they can teach on our platform.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Definitely. For many students, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to progress. One-to-one tuition provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement, which can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
This varies from student to student, but the benefit of one-to-one tuition is that it's focused entirely on your child's needs. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is different because it's tailored to your child. A session might involve working through a specific school assignment, practising exam techniques, analysing a text they find tricky, or planning an essay together. Your tutor will work with you and your child to set goals for each lesson.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have tutors for over 300 academic subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other skills. You can find tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and public speaking.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are handled securely and easily through the platform. You add your card details to your account, and you'll only be charged 24 hours after each lesson is complete. There are no sign-up fees or hidden costs.
