Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to chat about your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, so you can easily find an experienced English tutor that fits your family's budget. All pricing is clearly displayed on their profile.
My child attends a school in Leatherhead. Can a tutor support their specific curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are familiar with the national curriculum as well as specific exam boards like AQA and Edexcel. You can message a tutor before booking to discuss the specific texts or topics your child's school is covering to ensure they are a great fit.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe to work with children?
Your child's safety is our absolute priority. Every UK-based tutor must pass a background check before they can teach on our platform. We also personally interview our tutors to ensure they have the right experience and approach for one-to-one learning.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the right fit for your child. With 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 does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has features like a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence in English?
Yes, this is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe and encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. Rebuilding that self-belief is often the first step to making real progress.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for entry to local colleges like NESCOT or Esher College?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience helping students with college applications and entrance exams. You can find tutors who specialise in 16+ preparation and can help your child with personal statements and interview skills.
My child is preparing for their GCSE English exams. How can a tutor help?
Our tutors are brilliant at helping students prepare for exams. They can work on specific areas like exam technique, analysing unseen texts, and structuring high-scoring answers. For GCSEs, our support can help improve your child's results by up to 2 grades.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English and Maths, we also have experts who can teach skills like coding, learning the guitar, or even public speaking. It's all about helping your child pursue their passions.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Most sessions are one hour long, and we generally find that one session per week works best for consistent progress. However, this is completely flexible and is something you can agree on with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
What kind of results can I expect?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our focus is on building both confidence and competence. With consistent, tailored support, students often see a significant improvement in their understanding and grades. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
