Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is set on going to Alton College. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE English grade?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades, like the 6s and 7s often needed for A-Level courses at colleges like Alton College. They can focus on the exact areas of the curriculum your child finds challenging to build their skills and confidence ahead of their exams.
We're thinking about universities like Southampton or Surrey. How can English tutoring help with that?
Strong communication and analytical skills, which are at the heart of English, are vital for university applications and study. A tutor can help your child develop the essay writing and critical thinking abilities that top universities like Southampton and Surrey look for, giving them a real advantage in their personal statement and future A-Level studies.
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 for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, 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 watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and even message tutors for free before booking. Look for someone whose experience matches your child's needs—whether that's GCSE exam preparation or building creative writing skills.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on their profile, so there are no hidden costs.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check before they can start teaching. We also only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. A tutor can create a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions and work at their own pace, which can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point, especially when preparing for exams like GCSEs. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
It's easy to manage your schedule. You can cancel or reschedule lessons through your Tutorful account, but please be sure to give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice as per our cancellation policy.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects! While we have experts in core academics like English, Maths, and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for music, languages, coding, and even professional skills. It's all about helping your child pursue their passions.
