Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My main worry is my child getting the Grade 4/5 needed for Middlesbrough College. How can a tutor specifically help with this?

We completely understand. This is the number one goal for many families we support. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can focus sessions specifically on securing that crucial grade. They'll identify weak spots, teach exam technique, and build your child's confidence in the areas needed to move from a Grade 3 to a 4, or a 4 to a 5 and above.

Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a subject like English Language?

Absolutely. Our online platform uses video calls, interactive whiteboards, and document sharing, which is perfect for analysing texts and practising writing skills together in real-time. The big advantage is that your child in Middlesbrough can connect with a top-tier English specialist from anywhere in the UK, giving you a much wider choice of expert educators.

We're hoping for a place at Teesside University eventually. Can tutoring help with A-Level English Language too?

Yes, many of our tutors are experienced in teaching up to A-Level and beyond. They can help your child make the significant step up from GCSE, developing the deeper analytical and essay-writing skills needed for success at sixth form and to prepare them for degree-level study at universities like Teesside.

What if my child doesn't get on with their first English Language tutor?

It's so important that your child feels comfortable and connected with their tutor. If the first session isn't the right fit for any reason, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.

How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?

We're very selective. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed, and has their qualifications verified. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a true professional who is passionate about their subject.

My child finds analysing poetry and older texts really difficult. Can a tutor help?

This is a very common challenge, and our tutors are brilliant at making complex texts accessible. They can provide new ways to approach analysis, break down difficult language, and help your child find the confidence to form and express their own interpretations.

How much do online English Language lessons for students in Middlesbrough cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. You can filter tutors by price on our website to find an experienced professional who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families opt for one hour-long session per week, as this provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You might want to increase the frequency in the run-up to exams – it's entirely up to you and what works best for your child.

What do we need for an online tutoring session?

It's simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom runs directly in your browser, so there's no complicated software to install.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Our tutors provide regular feedback to both you and your child. They'll discuss progress, highlight areas of improvement, and set clear goals for future lessons. You'll be able to see your child's growing confidence and understanding firsthand.

Beyond GCSEs, do you offer tutoring for other English-related skills?

Yes, we do. Many of our tutors can also help with creative writing, public speaking, university application statements, or simply building reading comprehension for pleasure. You can browse tutor profiles to find someone with the specific skills you're looking for.

Can we book a tutor for just a few sessions before an exam?

Of course. Whilst regular sessions are great for long-term progress, many parents book a block of lessons just before mocks or final exams for intensive revision and exam technique practice. There's no minimum number of sessions required.
