Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a top grade in GCSE English Language to get into Richard Taunton or Itchen. Can a tutor help with this specific goal?

Absolutely. This is a very common goal for families we work with. Our tutors are experts at focusing on the specific skills needed to move from a grade 5 to a 6, 7, or higher. They can tailor sessions to exam board requirements, perfect essay technique, and build confidence in analysing complex texts to help your child submit their strongest possible sixth form application.

How can tutoring now help with a future application to the University of Southampton?

Strong English Language skills are foundational for university success. A tutor helps build the clear, analytical, and persuasive communication style that admissions tutors look for in personal statements and interviews. Mastering these skills at GCSE level gives your child a huge head start for A-Levels and crafting a compelling UCAS application later on.

Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for students in Southampton?

We find it's even more effective for many families. Online tutoring removes geographical barriers, giving your child access to a much wider pool of specialist English tutors from across the UK, not just who is available locally. With features like interactive whiteboards and session recordings, it's a focused, convenient, and powerful way to learn from home.

How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?

We're incredibly selective. Only 1 in 8 applicants make it onto Tutorful. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and has proven subject expertise. We have a community of over 200,000 happy students, backed by thousands of positive reviews, so you can feel confident you're choosing from the best.

What if my child doesn't get on with the first tutor we try?

Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. 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. It's that simple.

How long are the sessions and how much do they cost?

Sessions are typically one hour long, but you can arrange other durations directly with your tutor. Prices vary as our tutors set their own rates based on their experience, starting from around £20 per hour. You can filter tutors by price on our website to find a great match for your budget.

My child also loves creative writing. Do you have tutors for that?

Yes, many of our English tutors are also passionate about creative writing! Whether it's poetry, short stories, or just expressing ideas more vividly, you can find a tutor to nurture that creative spark. We also offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, from coding and music to other academic disciplines.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's very straightforward. 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 platform, so there's no complex software to download. It's designed to be simple and easy to use.

Can a tutor help my child if they've lost all their confidence in English?

This is one of the most important things we help with. A one-to-one tutor creates a safe space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking things down and celebrating small wins, they rebuild that self-belief step-by-step. Seeing that confidence return is often the biggest transformation of all.

Are your tutors familiar with the AQA and Edexcel exam boards?

Yes. Most of our GCSE English Language tutors have extensive experience with all the major UK exam boards, including AQA and Edexcel. You can view a tutor's specific experience on their profile and discuss your child's needs with them directly to ensure they are the perfect fit.

How flexible is scheduling? My child has a lot of after-school clubs.

That's a key benefit of online tutoring. You're not tied to a local tuition centre's opening hours. Our tutors offer sessions during evenings and weekends, so you can easily find a time that fits around football practice, music lessons, and family commitments.

Can we get help just for a short time before the GCSE exams?

Of course. Whether you're looking for ongoing weekly support or a short burst of intensive revision sessions leading up to exams, you can find a tutor to match. There are no contracts or long-term commitments; you just book the support you need, when you need it.
