Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is at Hetton School. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE grades needed for Sunderland College or Durham Sixth Form Centre?

Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades they need for their next step. They can focus specifically on the GCSE English curriculum, helping your child build skills and confidence in the areas they find most challenging to meet the entry requirements for top local colleges.

We're hoping for a place at Durham or Newcastle University eventually. Can tutoring now help with that?

Definitely. Strong GCSE and A-Level results are crucial for applications to competitive universities like Durham and Newcastle. An English tutor can help your child build a solid academic foundation, developing the critical thinking and writing skills that will not only help them get the grades but also prepare them for university-level study.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

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

You can view detailed profiles for each tutor, which include their experience, qualifications, teaching style, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat, allowing you and your child to meet them and make sure it feels like a good fit before booking a lesson.

How much does online English tutoring cost in Hetton-le-Hole?

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 or contracts.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check or equivalent before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.

How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?

Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and adapt their teaching style to how your child learns best, which makes a huge difference to their self-belief.

How long does it take to see an improvement?

Every child learns at their own pace, 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, often within a few months of regular lessons.

What happens in a typical online English lesson?

The tutor will tailor the lesson to your child's specific goals. It might start with a quick chat about what they've been doing in school, followed by work on a specific area like essay structure, poetry analysis, or grammar. Tutors use the interactive whiteboard to work through examples together, just as they would in person.

Can I track my child's progress?

Yes. You can message the tutor at any time to ask for updates, and tutors will often provide feedback after each session. It's a collaborative process, and we encourage open communication between you, your child, and the tutor.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something different?

While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a wide range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from a musical instrument like the guitar to coding, a new language, or even public speaking.
