Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child wants to apply to a competitive sixth form like Prendergast. Can a tutor help?

Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top grades. They can focus on the specific exam board your child is studying, hone their exam technique, and build the deep subject knowledge needed to stand out in a competitive field.

We're worried about getting the grades for top London universities. How can an English tutor help?

A great English grade is fundamental for a strong UCAS application. A tutor can help your child develop the analytical and writing skills that top universities value. This not only helps them secure a higher GCSE grade but also provides a brilliant foundation for writing a compelling personal statement.

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

It's simple to find the perfect match. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check qualifications, and see reviews from other parents. We also encourage you to send a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before you book.

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

We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous interview process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from highly qualified and trusted educators.

My child has lost confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?

Definitely. A one-to-one setting is a fantastic way to rebuild confidence. Away from the pressure of the classroom, your child can ask questions freely and work at their own pace. Our tutors are skilled at creating a positive and encouraging learning space.

What kind of results can we expect?

We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSE English specifically, our focused, one-to-one tuition can help students improve their results by up to two grades, making a real difference to their future options.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on a tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.

How do the online lessons actually work?

The lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.

How often should my child have lessons?

This is completely flexible and depends on your child's needs. Some students have a regular weekly slot to build momentum, while others book a few sessions to focus on a specific topic before an exam. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.

Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like English?

Not at all! While we cover all core academic subjects for exams like the 11+, GCSEs and A-Levels, we also have expert tutors for hobbies and professional skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, speak Spanish, or even get started with coding.

How quickly can we get started?

You can get started very quickly. Simply search for English tutors, message a few to check their availability, and you can often have your first lesson booked and ready to go within 24 hours.
