Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Elfed High School. Can a tutor help with the specific WJEC English curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience with the WJEC curriculum. You can view their profiles to see their specific expertise and even message them before booking to ensure they’re the right fit for your child’s needs.
We're considering A-Levels and then university in Chester or Liverpool. Can a tutor help with that transition?
Yes, definitely. Beyond just improving GCSE grades, a tutor can act as a mentor, helping your child develop the independent study skills and critical thinking needed for A-Levels and university applications. They can help build the confidence required for that next big step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter tutors by their experience and price. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to find the perfect match.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an ID check and a DBS background check, before they can start teaching.
How can online tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a safe, supportive space allows your child to ask questions they might be hesitant to ask in a busy classroom. Celebrating small wins and overcoming challenges with their tutor is a powerful way to build self-belief.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child and their tutor to collaborate and work through problems together.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding.
How long is a typical lesson and how often should my child have one?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most families find that a weekly session works best to build momentum and reinforce learning, but the frequency is completely flexible and up to you and your tutor to decide.
Can tutoring help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, most English tutors are equipped to help with both. Whether your child needs to improve their essay writing for Literature or their analytical skills for Language, you can find a tutor with the right experience. Just check their profile or send them a message to confirm.
