Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is worried about getting the right grades for Ashby School's sixth form. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students make that step up to A-Levels. They can focus on the specific essay-writing and analytical skills needed to secure the top GCSE grades required for sixth form entry, building your child's confidence along the way.
We're hoping for a place at Loughborough or Nottingham University in the future. How important is a good English GCSE?
It's very important. Top universities like Loughborough and Nottingham often look for strong grades in core subjects like English Language and Literature, regardless of the degree course. A tutor can help your child build a strong foundation now that will support their university application later on.
What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
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 tutor, 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, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. You can also send them a message before booking to make sure they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning needs.
My child lacks confidence in English. How can tutoring help?
Confidence is often the biggest hurdle. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and show your child what they're truly capable of, which can make a huge difference.
How much does an 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, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, every single tutor on our platform has been through a rigorous selection process and has had their ID and background checked. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It's a secure and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
How can a tutor help my child with exam technique for GCSE English?
Tutors are brilliant at this. They can teach your child how to understand what examiners are looking for, how to structure their answers effectively, manage their time in the exam, and how to pick out the best quotes to analyse.
How often should my child have lessons?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most families find a weekly session works well for consistent progress, but you can arrange lessons more or less frequently to fit your schedule and needs.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! As well as core subjects like Maths and Science, your child can learn practical skills like coding or a musical instrument like the guitar. We have tutors for almost anything you can think of.
