Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply for a competitive A-Level college in Cheshire. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors can focus specifically on strengthening the skills and achieving the GCSE English grades needed for a strong application. They can help your child build the confidence and academic record to stand out.
We're aiming for a top university like Manchester or Sheffield. How can English tutoring support this goal?
A great English grade is a cornerstone of a strong university application. Beyond that, our tutors help develop the critical thinking, essay writing, and analytical skills that admissions tutors at universities like Manchester and Sheffield really value.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will click with.
What if we don't get on 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 much do online English tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs or fees.
How can a tutor help my child with their GCSE English exams?
Our tutors are brilliant at preparing students for exams. They can work through past papers, perfect exam technique, and focus on specific areas of the curriculum, like poetry anthologies or set texts. This targeted support can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to two grades.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked, including an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every tutor to ensure they have the right experience and passion for teaching.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It has all the tools needed for your child to learn effectively from the comfort of home.
Can my child get help with specific texts like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Of course. The great thing about one-to-one tuition is that it's completely tailored. If your child needs to focus on a particular book, play, or poetry collection for their exams, their tutor will build the lessons around that specific need.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, all a child needs is a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor provides patient, one-to-one encouragement, celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics until they click. This personalised support is fantastic for building self-esteem.
How long do lessons last?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor to fit your child's schedule and concentration span.
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 have experts in core academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for music, languages, coding, and much more.
