Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form. Can a tutor help them stand out?
Absolutely. Our tutors can help your child develop the deeper understanding and analytical skills needed to achieve the top grades (8 or 9) that make an application shine. They can focus on exam technique and building the confidence to handle challenging questions.
Can a tutor help with university applications for places like King's College London?
Yes. Many of our English tutors have experience supporting students with their personal statements and preparing for interviews. They can help your child articulate their passion for their subject, which is essential for applications to competitive humanities courses at top universities.
How can a tutor help my child get a grade 8 or 9 in GCSE English?
Our tutors specialise in helping students move from good to great. They do this by identifying specific areas for improvement, teaching advanced analytical techniques, and refining essay-writing skills to meet the criteria for the highest grades. For GCSE students, this focused support can improve their final result by up to two grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view detailed tutor profiles which include their experience, qualifications, teaching style, and reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their introductory videos and messaging a few to find the perfect match for your child's personality and learning needs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for success. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much do online English tutors in Brixton cost?
Our tutors set their own 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 experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be completely confident in your choice.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Can tutoring help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits parents tell us about is the boost in their child's confidence. Having a supportive expert guide them in a one-to-one setting helps them feel more capable and less anxious about their studies.
How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?
You can get started very quickly. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours, and you could have your first lesson booked for this week. It's designed to be flexible to suit your needs.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which is usually ideal for keeping your child engaged and focused. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor if you feel your child would benefit from a shorter or longer session.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have experts in all school and university subjects, we also have talented tutors who can teach a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak a new language to coding in Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
