Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're aiming for a sixth form place at a competitive Croydon school like Trinity or Whitgift. Can a tutor help with this?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students build the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to stand out in applications and interviews for highly-selective schools and sixth forms. They can focus on the specific requirements to help your child feel prepared and confident.

My child wants to study a humanities subject at a Russell Group university. How can an English Literature tutor help?

Our tutors are brilliant at helping students develop the high-level critical thinking skills that top universities look for. They can go beyond the A-Level syllabus to introduce new concepts, refine your child's arguments, and help them write with the clarity and depth required for a successful UCAS application and future degree-level study.

How do I choose the right English Literature tutor for my child?

You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that works for your child.

How much does an online English Literature tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.

My child has lost their confidence in English Literature. Can a tutor help?

Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of being judged. They celebrate small wins and build your child's self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their grades.

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

We understand that the right relationship is key to learning. That's why we have our 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 can I be sure the tutors are safe?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID and qualifications verified. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best and most trusted professionals.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's designed to be just as engaging and effective as being in the same room.

Is tutoring just for academic subjects like English Literature?

Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we believe in learning for life. You can find tutors for everything from learning a new language or playing the guitar to coding in Python and preparing for professional qualifications.

How often should my child have a lesson?

This is completely up to you and your child's needs. Many families find a weekly session works well for consistent progress, especially when preparing for exams like GCSEs or A-Levels, but you can arrange lessons as frequently as you need.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to suit your child's concentration span and schedule.

Will I be able to track my child's progress?

Absolutely. We encourage open communication between parents and tutors. You can message your tutor at any time through the platform, and they will be happy to provide regular feedback on how your child is getting on and what they'll be covering in upcoming sessions.
