Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Outwood Academy. Can a tutor help them aim for New College Doncaster?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades they need for specific colleges. They can focus on the key areas of the GCSE English curriculum to help your child feel confident and prepared to achieve a grade 5 or higher, which is often a requirement for A-Level courses at places like New College Doncaster.
We're hoping for a top university like Sheffield or Leeds. How can an English tutor help with that long-term goal?
A strong GCSE in English is a vital first step for applications to competitive universities. Our tutors help build the foundational analytical and communication skills that admissions tutors at universities like Sheffield and Leeds look for. By securing a great GCSE grade, your child keeps their options open for the A-Levels needed for these top courses.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. 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 the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend looking for a tutor whose experience matches your child’s needs – for example, someone with a strong track record in GCSE English Language. You can also message tutors beforehand to ask any questions.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits within your family's budget.
Can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it gives students. Having a supportive expert guide them through topics they find difficult helps them feel more capable and less anxious about speaking up in class or tackling exams.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a rigorous selection process, and we carry out background checks on every tutor before they can join our platform. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for working through problems together, and a way to share documents. It has all the tools your child needs to have a productive and engaging one-to-one lesson.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for consistent progress, especially in the run-up to exams like the GCSEs. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange sessions with your tutor as often as you need, whether that's a one-off lesson on a tricky topic or regular weekly support.
Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?
No, there are no long-term commitments or contracts. You can book lessons one at a time or schedule a regular slot with your chosen tutor. It's a pay-as-you-go system, giving you complete flexibility to fit tutoring around your child's needs and your family's budget.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to focus on a specific topic without your child losing concentration. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor if you feel your child would benefit from it.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and public speaking.
