Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is at Wollaston School and we're aiming for a competitive sixth form. Can a tutor help with this transition?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students make the leap from GCSE to A-Level. They can help your child master the specific English skills needed to meet entry requirements for competitive sixth forms, building their confidence and ensuring they start their new courses on the right foot.

We're worried about future applications to universities like Warwick or Birmingham. Can a tutor prepare my child for that level?

Yes, this is a great time to start. An experienced English tutor can help your child develop the higher-level analytical and critical thinking skills that Russell Group universities look for. They can work on advanced essay techniques and deeper textual analysis, giving your child a real head start.

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

It's easy to find the perfect match on our platform. You can filter tutors by experience and price, read detailed reviews from other parents, and even watch short video introductions. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking to make sure you've found the right fit.

My child’s confidence in English is low. How can a tutor help?

This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Our tutors create a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at your child's pace and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild confidence lesson by lesson.

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

We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key. 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 much does an online English tutor in Earls Barton cost?

Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. There are no contracts or hidden fees, so you have complete flexibility. You can use our search filters to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.

How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has an up-to-date DBS background check. We also check their references to ensure they are experienced and trustworthy.

What happens in a typical online lesson?

Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a tool for sharing files and past papers. It’s a collaborative space where your child and their tutor can work through problems and analyse texts together in real-time.

Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?

Yes, and for many families, it's even better. Online tutoring gives you access to the best tutors from across the UK, not just your local area. It's also more convenient, fitting easily around your schedule without any travel time.

How often should my child have lessons?

This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Many parents find that one hour per week is a great way to build momentum, especially in the run-up to exams, but you can arrange a schedule that works for your family.

What qualifications do your English tutors have?

Our tutors are all subject-matter experts. Many are qualified teachers, senior examiners, or hold degrees in English from top universities. You can view each tutor's full qualifications and experience on their profile.

Do you only offer help for core subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills too?

While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child can learn everything from a new language or a musical instrument to practical skills like coding.
