Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We live in Derby and are aiming for a top school like Littleover or Chellaston. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students achieve the high grades needed for entry into competitive schools. They can focus on strengthening the specific analytical and essay-writing skills required to stand out and secure those top 7-9 GCSE grades.

My child is thinking about applying to the University of Nottingham or Loughborough. Can a tutor help with that?

Yes, definitely. Our tutors can help your child build the strong academic foundation needed for a competitive university application. By mastering their subject at A-Level, they'll be in a much stronger position when it comes to writing their personal statement and meeting offer conditions.

What if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

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

It's simple to find the perfect fit. You can read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos to get a feel for a tutor's teaching style, and even message them directly to discuss your child's needs before you book. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable with.

How much does an English Literature tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on their profiles, so there are no hidden surprises.

How does online tutoring actually work?

All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard for writing and sharing ideas, and a space to upload documents like essays or practice papers. It’s a secure and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help students see their own progress, which is a fantastic confidence booster.

How are your tutors vetted?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview them to ensure they have the right expertise and a passion for teaching. We're very selective – only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted.

Do you only offer academic subjects like English?

Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects from the 11+ right through to degree level, we also offer support for a huge range of skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to code, play the guitar, or speak a new language, we can help you find an expert tutor.

How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?

Lessons are typically an hour long. Most families find that one session a week works well, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that fits your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your chosen tutor.

What happens in a typical first lesson?

The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about what they enjoy, what they find tricky in English Literature, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed way to build a connection and create a plan for future lessons.

Can tutoring help my child if they're already doing well?

Yes, it's a great way to help a high-achieving child reach their full potential. A tutor can stretch their abilities, introduce them to more advanced concepts, and help them refine their skills to turn a grade 7 into a grade 9. It’s about providing that extra challenge and depth.
