Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form like Gunnersbury or Lampton. Can a tutor help them achieve the top GCSE English grades needed?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and have a great track record of helping students secure Grades 7, 8, and 9. They can focus specifically on the skills needed to hit those higher marks, from detailed textual analysis to sophisticated essay structure, giving your child the confidence to stand out.
We're worried about competing for places at London universities. How does English tutoring help with this?
Strong grades in GCSE and A-Level English are highly respected by all universities, especially competitive ones in London. Beyond grades, tutoring develops crucial skills in critical thinking, communication, and persuasive writing that are essential for personal statements and interviews, helping your child present themselves as a strong candidate.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How much does an online English tutor in Brentford cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.
My child is losing confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-belief and rediscover a love for the subject.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process and accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must provide a valid DBS check (or equivalent) and professional references, which our team manually verifies.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 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 way to share documents. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor specifically help with GCSE English Language and Literature?
For Literature, a tutor can help your child dive deep into set texts, analyse character and theme, and structure exam essays. For Language, they can work on mastering different writing styles, understanding unseen texts, and sharpening grammar and spelling to secure every possible mark.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback after each session, so you'll always be kept in the loop. You can discuss your child's progress with their tutor at any time through our messaging system. Many parents notice a big improvement in their child's confidence and school results.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
Most families opt for one session a week, as this provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You might want more sessions in the run-up to an exam, or fewer during school holidays. You can discuss what's best with your tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have amazing tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills like coding, playing the guitar, learning a new language, or even public speaking.
