Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for Neath Port Talbot College?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the GCSE grades they need for their chosen A-Level courses. They can focus on the specific modules and exam techniques required to help your child meet the entry requirements for local colleges.
My child is aiming for a top university like Swansea or Cardiff. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. Many of our English tutors specialise in preparing students for university applications. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and writing skills needed to achieve top A-Level grades and write a compelling personal statement that stands out.
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 first 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 choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their introduction videos and messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat to discuss your child's needs.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find an option that fits your family's budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and examples, and a space to upload documents. It's a simple, effective, and engaging way for your child to learn from home.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have been interviewed and have had their ID and qualifications verified. We also require every UK-based tutor to have an up-to-date DBS check.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As their tutor helps them master topics they once found difficult, you'll likely see their self-belief grow, both in and out of the classroom.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer expert support for academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! Your child can learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking a new language.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our goal is to make a positive impact from the very first session. With consistent lessons, many parents see a change in their child's confidence and understanding within a few weeks. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
A tutor will usually start by checking in on what your child has been doing at school. They'll then focus on the areas you've agreed on, whether that's practising essay structures, analysing a specific text, or working on grammar. The sessions are interactive and tailored completely to your child.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message your tutor at any time through the platform to discuss their progress and upcoming lessons.
