Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for top GCSE English grades to compete with students from Oxford schools. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is exactly where a specialist tutor can help. They can provide focused, one-to-one support to help your child master the specific skills needed to achieve grades 7-9, such as advanced textual analysis and sophisticated essay writing, building their confidence to perform at their best.
We're hoping for a place at a top university like Bristol or Bath. How can an English tutor support this goal?
A strong A-Level English grade, built on a solid GCSE foundation, is crucial for applications to top universities. A tutor can help your child develop the critical thinking and analytical skills that admissions tutors look for, and can even offer support with personal statement writing.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their introductory videos and sending a message to a few to find someone your child will connect with. Many offer a free 15-minute chat to get to know them first.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile with no hidden fees.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all must have a valid DBS check or equivalent. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Often, a lack of confidence comes from not understanding a specific topic. In a one-to-one setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor can break down difficult concepts, celebrate small wins, and create a positive learning space, which really helps their self-belief grow.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with specific texts, like Shakespeare or modern poetry?
Yes, definitely. Our English tutors are experts in the curriculum and can provide targeted support for any set text your child is studying, helping them to analyse quotes, understand themes, and structure their answers for exams.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different like creative writing or public speaking?
While we have tutors for all core academic subjects, we also have experts in a huge range of other skills! From learning a musical instrument or a new language to coding and creative writing, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
How long does a typical lesson last?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going. Seeing your child's growing confidence and improved marks on schoolwork are also great indicators.
