Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child with the specific English requirements for Farnborough Sixth Form College?
Absolutely. Our tutors can focus on helping your child achieve the specific GCSE English grades needed for their desired A-Level courses at Farnborough Sixth Form. They can tailor lessons to strengthen exam technique, deepen subject knowledge, and build the confidence required to secure that crucial grade.
My child attends a local school like Frogmore or Yateley. Can a tutor help with their specific curriculum?
Yes. Our English tutors are experienced with the national curriculum and major exam boards like AQA and Edexcel. They can easily adapt their lessons to the specific texts, topics, and coursework your child is studying at their school, ensuring the support is perfectly aligned with what they're learning in class.
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. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important step.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked via DBS, and has their ID and qualifications verified. We are 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 has lost confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is very common, and it's where one-to-one tutoring can really shine. A tutor provides a patient, encouraging environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-esteem and a positive attitude towards the subject.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This means you can find an excellent, affordable tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden fees.
How do the online lessons work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is ideal for making steady progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You might want more sessions in the run-up to exams or less frequent lessons for general confidence-building.
What if we don't get on with our first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. With 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 will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You'll also see your child's confidence grow as they start to understand topics they previously found difficult. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's school reports and test results.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects from Primary through to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! Your child could learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language just for fun.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life gets busy, we understand. You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson with your tutor. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, but you can discuss their specific policy with them directly.
