Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form near Ashtead. Can a tutor help them secure the top GCSE English grades they need?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top grades. They can focus on the specific skills and exam techniques needed to turn a good grade into a great one, giving your child the best possible chance of securing a place at their first-choice sixth form.
We're thinking ahead to Russell Group universities. How can an English tutor help with that now?
That's a great way to think ahead. A strong GCSE English grade is often a prerequisite for the essay-based A-Levels that Russell Group universities value. A tutor helps build the core analytical and writing skills your child will rely on throughout their A-Levels and university applications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to get a feel for their approach. Think about what your child needs – is it a confidence boost, help with a specific text, or exam technique? Finding someone your child gets on with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. 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 much do online English tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find experienced, background-checked tutors to suit your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden fees.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them overcome learning blocks and start to feel much more positive about the subject.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which is designed for one-to-one learning. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with specific texts, like Shakespeare or poetry?
Definitely. That's one of the great benefits of one-to-one tuition. If your child finds analysing Shakespeare or understanding a poetry anthology difficult, their tutor can dedicate entire lessons to breaking it down in a way that makes sense to them.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families choose to have one lesson a week to build momentum and keep learning consistent. However, the schedule is completely flexible and up to you. You can arrange lessons with your tutor at a frequency that fits your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like English, or can you help with other interests?
While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child could learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking a new language.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to ask questions or discuss how things are going. The goal is to work together to support your child's learning journey.
