Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is studying authors from the South-West like Thomas Hardy or Daphne du Maurier. Can we find a tutor who specialises in this?

Absolutely. That's a huge benefit of online tutoring. Instead of being limited to tutors nearby, you can connect your child with literature specialists from across the UK who have a deep passion for and knowledge of specific authors, including those with strong connections to the South-West. You can check each tutor's profile to see their areas of expertise.

How can online tutoring help my child get the grades for a competitive university like Exeter or Bristol?

Our tutors, many of whom are graduates from top universities themselves, are brilliant at helping students develop the higher-level analytical and essay-writing skills that admissions tutors at places like Exeter and Bristol look for. They can help your child move beyond just understanding a text to forming sophisticated, original arguments that stand out.

Is online tutoring as effective as having a tutor visit our home?

We believe it’s even better. Online tutoring offers incredible flexibility, fitting around your busy family schedule without any travel time. More importantly, it gives your child access to a much wider pool of talent – you can find the perfect English Language specialist from anywhere in the UK, not just the person who happens to live locally. With interactive tools and focused one-to-one attention, it's a powerful way to learn.

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

It's really important that your child feels comfortable and connected with their tutor. We have a first lesson guarantee for this reason. If it’s not the right fit, 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 do you ensure your tutors are high quality?

We have a rigorous selection process and are very proud of our tutors' quality. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview them to assess their expertise and teaching style. In fact, we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.

My child's confidence in English Language is really low. Can a tutor help with that?

Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement. Celebrating small wins and breaking down tough topics into manageable steps can make a world of difference to their self-belief.

How much do online English Language lessons cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, which typically start from around £15-£20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study (e.g., GCSE, A-Level). You can easily filter by price on our platform to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.

Is this only for GCSE and A-Level, or can you help with creative writing too?

We can absolutely help with creative writing! Many of our English tutors are passionate writers themselves and love helping students find their creative voice, develop plots, or hone their poetry skills. Tutoring isn't just for exams; it's for nurturing a genuine love for a subject.

What technology do we 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 has all the tools they'll need, including an interactive whiteboard, built right in.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most students have one hour-long session per week, as this consistency helps to build momentum and reinforce learning. However, it's completely flexible. You might choose to have more frequent sessions in the run-up to an exam, or less frequent lessons for general support. It's something you can discuss and agree upon with your tutor.

Can a tutor help my child with specific exam board requirements?

Yes, definitely. Our tutors have experience with all major UK exam boards (like AQA, Edexcel, OCR). When you search, you can see which exam boards a tutor specialises in on their profile, ensuring the support your child receives is perfectly aligned with what they're learning at school in the South-West.

Do you offer tutoring in other subjects for learners in the South-West?

We do! We have expert online tutors across more than 300 subjects, from maths and sciences to modern languages, music, and even coding. Whatever your child needs help with, you can find a specialist tutor for them on our platform.
