Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
The local schools in Acton are very competitive. Can a tutor help my child with the specific skills needed for top GCSE grades?
Absolutely. Our tutors specialise in helping students build the analytical and essay-writing skills required to achieve the highest grades. They can work with your child on everything from understanding complex texts to perfecting their exam technique, giving them the confidence to stand out.
My child hopes to get into a Russell Group university. Can an English tutor help with more than just their GCSEs?
Yes, many of our tutors are experienced in supporting students with A-Level English, university applications, and personal statements. They can help your child develop the advanced critical thinking and writing skills that top universities look for in their applicants.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and ensure they are a perfect match.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. 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 can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview every applicant to ensure they are an expert in their subject. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in great hands.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
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. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can tutoring help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents seek a tutor. A one-to-one setting provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions and build their self-belief without the pressure of a classroom environment.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
Every session is tailored to your child's needs. It might involve going over a tricky piece of homework, practising essay-writing skills for an upcoming exam, analysing a poem together, or working on grammar and punctuation. The tutor will focus on whatever helps your child make the most progress.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
This varies from student to student, but consistent weekly lessons can make a big difference quickly. 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade, so you can feel confident that you're making a great investment in their education.
How flexible are the lesson schedules?
Very flexible. You can arrange lessons for evenings, weekends, or during school holidays – whatever works best for your family. You can easily find a tutor whose availability matches your own.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer brilliant support for subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking Spanish.
