Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the English grade needed for Furness College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades they need for college entry. They can focus on the specific areas of the English curriculum your child finds challenging to build their skills and confidence ahead of their exams.
My child is thinking about the University of Cumbria or Lancaster. Can a tutor support their A-Level English studies?
Yes, we have many expert tutors who specialise in A-Level English Literature and Language. They can provide in-depth support with complex texts, essay writing, and exam technique to help your child achieve the grades needed for their university applications.
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 to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs.
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 does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We're 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 setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors can break down difficult topics, like analysing poetry, into manageable steps, celebrating small wins along the way to build their self-belief.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
Every session is tailored to your child. A tutor might start by reviewing a recent school assignment, then work through a specific area your child is struggling with, like structuring an essay. They use the interactive whiteboard to analyse texts together and will often set small tasks to build on what they've learned.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our focused, one-to-one approach is designed to make a real difference. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and engagement after just a few sessions.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes, you can. We encourage open communication, and you can message your child's tutor at any time to ask for updates on their progress and discuss what they're working on in their sessions.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn a hobby like creative writing?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic areas from 11+ to degree level, your child can also explore hobbies and learn new skills like creative writing, music production, coding, or even playing the guitar.
