Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child attends Gillingham School. Can an online tutor align with their specific English Language curriculum?

Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced with the national curriculum for GCSE and A-Levels. During your first session, the tutor will discuss the specific texts and exam boards your child is working with at Gillingham School to create a tailored plan that directly supports their classroom learning.

We live in Gillingham, Dorset. Are your tutors familiar with authors like Thomas Hardy who are so important to the region?

Many of our English tutors have a deep passion for classic literature and can certainly help your child explore the works of Thomas Hardy, connecting the text to the local Dorset landscape. This can make their analysis much richer and more engaging, bringing their studies to life.

What if my child doesn't click with the first English Language tutor we try?

We know that the right relationship is key to success. If for any reason it's not a perfect match, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will happily cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor to ensure you find the right fit.

How does online tutoring actually work for a subject like English Language?

It works brilliantly. Tutors and students use an interactive online whiteboard to analyse texts together in real-time. They can share documents, highlight key passages, and collaboratively plan essays. It's a dynamic and engaging way to learn, all from the comfort of your home in Gillingham, Dorset.

My child is more interested in creative writing than academic essays. Do you offer that?

Yes, we do! We have many tutors who are published writers or creative writing specialists. They can help your child with everything from structuring a story and developing characters to writing poetry, completely separate from their school curriculum.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, every single tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a DBS background check. We are incredibly selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

My child has lost all confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?

This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us, and it's where one-to-one tutoring truly shines. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement, rebuilding their self-belief one small victory at a time.

How do I find the right tutor for my child?

It's simple. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in the right level (e.g., GCSE, A-Level) and have experience with specific areas like poetry analysis or exam technique. You can read reviews from other parents and even message tutors before booking to ensure they're the right fit.

How much do online English Language tutors cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, so you can find an expert who fits your family's budget.

What equipment do we need for online lessons?

All you need 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 complex software to install.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most students have one hour-long lesson per week, which is usually enough to make consistent progress. However, you might choose to have more frequent sessions in the run-up to exams. It's completely flexible and can be discussed with your tutor.

Can tutoring help with exam technique as well as subject knowledge?

Definitely. This is a huge part of what our tutors do. They can teach your child how to understand exam questions, structure their answers effectively, manage their time under pressure, and hit the key assessment objectives to maximise their marks.
