Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a top sixth form like LAE. Can a tutor help them achieve the high GCSE English Language grade they need?

Absolutely. This is a common goal for families we work with in East London. Our tutors are experienced in helping students move beyond a standard pass to achieve the top grades (7-9) that competitive sixth forms require. They focus on advanced analytical skills, exam technique, and building the confidence to handle challenging texts.

We live in a diverse part of East London. How can a tutor help my child with the specific style of formal, academic English needed for exams?

This is a great question. Our tutors are skilled at helping students navigate different registers of English. They can work with your child to strengthen their use of formal, analytical language for essays and exams, whilst still valuing their natural way of speaking. It’s about adding another tool to their communication toolkit, not replacing what’s already there.

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

Yes, and for many students, it's even more effective. Our online platform uses interactive whiteboards for analysing texts together, and screen sharing for essay feedback is seamless. The biggest advantage is choice: your child in East London can connect with the perfect English specialist from anywhere in the UK, not just who lives nearby.

How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?

We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto Tutorful. Every tutor is interviewed by a real person, background-checked, and has their qualifications verified to ensure we only list experienced, professional, and inspiring educators.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We know that the right personal connection is vital for learning. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, 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 do online English Language tutors cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can easily filter by price on our website to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.

My son finds analysing poetry really difficult. Can we find a tutor who specialises in that?

Of course. Many of our English tutors have specific areas of expertise. You can view their profiles to see if they highlight poetry, Shakespeare, or creative writing as a strength. This allows you to find someone who can provide targeted support exactly where it's needed most.

How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should we have them?

Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually ideal. Most families opt for one session per week, but the schedule is completely flexible and up to you and your tutor. You can arrange more sessions during school holidays or in the run-up to exams if needed.

What equipment does my child need for online lessons?

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

Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than English Language?

Yes, we do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from maths and sciences to modern languages, humanities, and even practical skills like coding or learning a musical instrument. We're here to support your child's entire learning journey.

How can I track my child's progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. We encourage open communication, so you can always message your tutor to discuss progress, upcoming topics, and areas where your child is growing in confidence.

My daughter loves creative writing but needs help with her GCSEs. Can we find a tutor who does both?

Definitely. Many of our English tutors are passionate about both the creative and analytical sides of the subject. Finding a tutor who can nurture her creative flair whilst also building her exam skills can be a fantastic way to keep her engaged and motivated.
