Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends Brooke Weston Academy. Can we find a tutor familiar with their curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in teaching the specific texts and exam board requirements used in schools across the country, including in Corby. You can chat with tutors before booking to find someone who is a great fit for your child's specific needs and school curriculum.
Can a tutor help my child secure a place on a local apprenticeship scheme?
Yes, a tutor can be a great help. Most apprenticeships require strong foundational skills in English. A tutor can work with your child to improve their reading comprehension, writing clarity, and communication skills – all of which are highly valued by employers and apprenticeship providers.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right personality and teaching style. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send messages to tutors to discuss your child's goals. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step towards building their confidence.
My child has lost confidence with essay writing. How can a tutor help?
This is very common, and it's where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A tutor can patiently break down the process of planning, structuring, and writing an essay. They can provide instant, encouraging feedback, helping your child rebuild their self-belief one step at a time.
How do the online lessons work?
They take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and examples, and a way to upload documents like essays or practice questions. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and we verify their ID. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and capable expert.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Can tutoring really improve my child's GCSE English grade?
Yes, it really can. Our data shows that focused, one-to-one support can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to two grades. It gives them the dedicated space to ask questions and master topics they find difficult.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced tutor who fits within your budget, with no hidden costs.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we help thousands of students with core subjects like English and Maths, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to mastering coding with Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works best. This provides regular, consistent support that builds momentum without being overwhelming. You can always discuss the right frequency with your chosen tutor based on your child's goals.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to check their availability, and you could be booking your child's first lesson for as early as today. Our platform makes it easy to find and connect with the right person straight away.
