Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form in Hackney. Can a tutor help them get a top grade (7-9) in GCSE English Language?

Absolutely. This is exactly where our tutors excel. They are experienced in helping students move from good to outstanding. A specialist tutor can focus on the specific exam techniques and analytical depth required to hit those top grades, giving your child the strongest possible application for demanding A-Level courses.

We're worried about the competition for universities like UCL or King's. How does tutoring help with this long-term goal?

Strong English Language skills are fundamental for applications to top universities. Our tutors help build the core abilities they look for: critical thinking, constructing a compelling argument, and writing with precision. This not only helps with A-Levels but also in crafting a standout personal statement and performing well in interviews.

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

Yes, and in many ways, it's even better. Tutors use interactive whiteboards to deconstruct texts together, share resources instantly, and collaboratively edit essays in real-time. Crucially, it gives your child in Hackney access to a wider pool of specialist AQA and Edexcel tutors from across the UK, not just whoever is local.

How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?

We're very selective. In fact, we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join Tutorful. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and has proven subject expertise, so you can be sure your child is learning from a true professional.

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

Finding the right personality match is so important. We understand that. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.

My child finds analysing poetry really difficult. Can a tutor help with that specifically?

Definitely. Many students find poetry challenging. A one-to-one tutor can dedicate sessions to breaking down poetic devices, exploring themes, and building your child's confidence until they feel comfortable analysing any poem an examiner throws at them.

How long are the tutoring sessions and how frequent should they be?

Sessions are typically one hour long, and most students have one session per week. However, this is completely flexible. You and your tutor can agree on a schedule that works best for your child's needs and your family's routine, whether that's a temporary boost before exams or ongoing weekly support.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is built into our website, so there's no complex software to download.

Beyond English Language, can my child get help with creative writing?

Yes! We have many tutors who are passionate about creative writing, public speaking, and other communication skills. You can find tutors who can help your child develop their own stories, write compelling speeches, or simply find more joy in expressing their ideas.

How much does online English Language tutoring cost for a student in Hackney?

Our tutors set their own rates, which typically start from around £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of expertise. You can browse profiles and filter by price to find the perfect tutor to fit your budget.

Are your tutors familiar with the specific exam boards, like AQA or Edexcel?

Yes, this is a key advantage of our platform. You can use the filters on our search page to find tutors with specific experience in your child's exam board. Many tutors mention their specialisms directly in their profiles, so you can be sure you're getting relevant support.

How will I know if my child is making real progress?

Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You'll be able to see their confidence grow as they tackle more complex texts and improve their writing. Tutors can also focus on past papers and exam-style questions to provide clear, measurable evidence of their progress.
