Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to Accrington and Rossendale College. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the GCSE English grades needed for entry into local colleges. They can focus on the specific skills and exam techniques required to help your child submit a strong application and feel confident about their next steps.
We're worried about competition from schools in the Ribble Valley. How can a tutor help my child stand out?
It's a common concern, and one-to-one tutoring is a great way to give your child an edge. By focusing on their specific weaknesses and building on their strengths in English, a tutor can help them achieve a higher grade than they might alone. This can make a real difference when colleges and employers are looking at their application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' short video introductions, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications right on their profile. You can also send a message to a tutor before you book to make sure they're the right fit for your child's personality and learning style.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can easily find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden surprises.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for them to learn from the comfort of your home.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have expert tutors for hobbies and professional skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor for them here.
Are your tutors safe to work with my child?
Absolutely. Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all of them must have a valid DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and supportive space where your child can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. By working at their own pace and mastering topics they once found tricky, they'll experience real progress, which is a fantastic boost to their self-esteem.
How often should my child have lessons?
It's completely up to you and what works for your child. Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week is a great way to build momentum and see steady progress, but you can arrange a schedule that fits your child's needs and your family's routine.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress. Seeing your child's confidence grow and their school results improve are often the clearest signs.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life gets busy, we understand. You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson with your tutor. We just ask that you give them at least 24 hours' notice.
