Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is hoping to apply to Queen Mary's College. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE English grade?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and know exactly what's needed to secure a grade 6 or above. They can work with your child on specific areas of weakness and build their exam technique to help them meet the entry requirements for competitive colleges.

We live in Basingstoke and my child is thinking about universities like Reading or Southampton. How can an English tutor help now?

Building a strong foundation in English at GCSE is crucial for future university applications. The critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills they develop with a tutor will not only help them secure their A-Level place but will also be essential for success in higher education.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents say about them. Many tutors offer a short introductory chat so you can get to know them and discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson.

How do online lessons work?

Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, a shared whiteboard, and document sharing. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your own home.

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 online English tutoring 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.

How can a tutor help my child with their confidence?

Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to learning. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor will celebrate small wins and build their self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all of our UK-based tutors must have an up-to-date DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join us.

Is tutoring just for academic subjects like English?

Not at all! While we help thousands of students with subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, speak Spanish, or get started with coding, we can help.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that one lesson a week works well, as it creates a consistent routine for learning. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange sessions with your tutor as often as you need, whether that's a few extra lessons before an exam or a regular weekly slot.

What happens in a typical English tutoring session?

A tutor will usually start by checking in with your child to see what they've been covering in school. From there, the session will be tailored to their needs. It could involve working through a tricky piece of homework, practising past exam papers, or focusing on a specific skill like analysing poetry or structuring an argument.

How long will it take to see an improvement?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. Consistent weekly lessons are the best way to build momentum and see steady progress in both your child's skills and their confidence.
