Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study A-Levels at Burnley College. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. This is a very common goal for parents we work with. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target the specific skills needed to achieve a Grade 5 or higher in GCSE English, giving them the best possible chance of securing their place on their desired A-Level courses.
We're thinking about universities like UCLan or Manchester. How can an English tutor support their application?
A strong foundation in English is crucial for university applications. A tutor can help your child articulate their ideas clearly in their personal statement and develop the analytical and essay-writing skills needed to excel in their A-Levels and future degree studies.
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. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must pass an enhanced background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple, effective, and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Can tutoring really help my child's confidence?
Yes, it's one of the biggest benefits we see. The one-to-one attention from a supportive tutor helps your child ask questions they might be shy about in class. As they start to understand topics they previously found difficult, their self-belief and confidence grow.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
Most families opt for one session a week, as this consistency helps to build momentum. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be discussed with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
What results can we expect from English tutoring?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our goal is always to help them make real progress. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and our focused approach can help improve GCSE results by up to two grades.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills like playing the guitar or coding?
While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for music, languages, coding, and many other hobbies and skills.
Do I need to commit to a certain number of lessons?
No, there are no long-term commitments or contracts. Our platform is pay-as-you-go, giving you the flexibility to book lessons as and when your child needs them. You are always in control.
