Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for Coleg y Cymoedd or the University of South Wales?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the specific GCSE grades required for entry into further and higher education, including local institutions like Coleg y Cymoedd and top universities. They can focus on the exact skills and knowledge your child needs to meet those entry requirements.
Are your tutors familiar with the WJEC syllabus used in Welsh schools?
Yes. You can easily find tutors with specific experience in the WJEC (Welsh Joint Education Committee) curriculum. When you search, you can filter for tutors who state this in their profile or simply ask them in a message before booking to ensure they are the perfect fit for your child's studies in Wales.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to read tutor profiles, check their experience, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask about their approach to helping students with specific challenges, like exam anxiety or understanding poetry.
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 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 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, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they all undergo a thorough background check. We also verify their ID and qualifications. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
My child really lacks 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 creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of being judged, helping them to build self-belief alongside their subject knowledge. It often makes a world of difference.
How do the 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 your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor focus specifically on GCSE exam technique?
Yes. Our tutors are brilliant at helping students prepare for exams. They can work on everything from time management and understanding command words to structuring high-scoring answers, giving your child the tools and confidence they need for exam day.
How quickly will we see an improvement in our child's work?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed to get results. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. In the long run, 90% of our students improve by at least one academic grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with things like music or coding?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for learning an instrument like the guitar, studying a new language, or even getting to grips with skills like coding.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life can be busy, we get it. You can easily rearrange or cancel a lesson through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice. You can find the full details of our cancellation policy on our website.
