Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can an English Language tutor help my child with their applications to London universities like UCL or LSE?

Yes, absolutely. Our expert English Language tutors can help your child develop the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills needed for competitive university applications. They can provide targeted support to strengthen personal statements and refine their understanding of complex texts, helping your child stand out for places at institutions like UCL, LSE, or King's College London.

My child needs a strong GCSE English Language grade for a competitive London sixth form. Can a tutor really help them achieve a Grade 7 or higher?

We understand the importance of top GCSE grades for highly sought-after sixth forms in London. Our dedicated English Language tutors specialise in helping students master the curriculum, refine their essay writing, and boost their analytical skills. Many of our students improve by up to 2 grades at GCSE, giving your child the best chance to secure their desired sixth form place.

Is Tutorful only for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we excel in academic subjects like English Language, Tutorful offers a wide range of learning opportunities! Your child can explore everything from coding and Python to learning a new instrument like guitar, or even developing skills for personal projects. We believe learning extends beyond the classroom.

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

We want you and your child to feel completely comfortable. That's why we offer a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, 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 best online English Language tutor for my child?

We make it easy! You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents (our platform is rated 4.6 stars from over 4,100+ reviews), and even watch intro videos. Look for tutors with experience in GCSE English Language, specific exam board knowledge, and a teaching style that you think will suit your child's personality and learning needs.

How much does online English Language tutoring usually cost?

Tutor prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications, but you'll find a wide range to suit different budgets. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, with no hidden fees. We believe in transparent pricing so you can find quality support that works for your family.

My child lacks confidence in English. How can a tutor help with that?

Building confidence is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A dedicated English Language tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions, make mistakes, and celebrate small victories. This personalised attention helps them understand concepts better, feel more capable, and approach their studies with renewed self-belief.

What's it like for my child to have an online English Language lesson?

Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and engaging. Your child will connect with their tutor via video call, using a virtual whiteboard for notes, sharing documents, and even working through practice questions together. It's just like an in-person lesson, but with the added convenience and flexibility of learning from home.

How do you ensure your English Language tutors are qualified and safe?

Your child's safety and learning quality are our top priorities. We have a rigorous vetting process, accepting only 1 in 8 tutor applicants. All our tutors are background-checked, and we verify their qualifications and experience to ensure they are experts in their field and fantastic at explaining complex English Language concepts.

Will I be able to see my child's progress in English Language?

Absolutely. Your child's tutor will regularly communicate with you about their progress, key learning areas, and next steps. You'll often see improvements in their schoolwork and confidence, and knowing that 90% of Tutorful students improve by at least one grade, you can feel confident in their journey.

What should my child expect from their first online English Language lesson?

The first lesson is usually a chance for your child and their tutor to get to know each other. The tutor will assess your child's current understanding, discuss their goals (like achieving a Grade 7 in GCSE English), and start building a personalised learning plan. It's a relaxed, introductory session designed to set the stage for success.

My child lacks confidence in English. How can a tutor help with that?

We're proud to say that over 200,000 happy students have used Tutorful to achieve their learning goals. Our focused, one-to-one approach means that 90% of students improve by at least one grade, providing real, measurable progress in subjects like English Language.
