Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a top sixth form like Hills Road. Can a tutor help with the specific English skills needed?
Absolutely. Our tutors can focus specifically on developing the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills required for entry into competitive sixth forms. They can help your child learn how to structure compelling arguments and analyse texts at a level that will make their application stand out.
My child is worried about their university application. Can an English tutor help them stand out?
Yes, strong communication skills are vital for a successful university application. An English tutor can help your child refine their essay writing, which not only boosts their A-Level prospects but also helps them articulate their ideas clearly in their personal statement – a key part of any Russell Group application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view each tutor's profile, watch their introductory video, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding a great personality fit for your child.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden costs or complicated fees.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID-checked and holds an up-to-date DBS or equivalent background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join us.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 can a tutor help my child with GCSE English exam technique?
A tutor can be a huge help here. They can work through past papers, teach your child how to manage their time effectively in an exam, and help them understand exactly what examiners are looking for in their answers to get the highest marks.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the one-to-one focus of tutoring often leads to progress quickly. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change many parents notice first is a boost in their child's confidence.
How many lessons a week will my child need?
It's completely up to you and what works for your family. Many students have one lesson a week, but you can arrange more frequent sessions during exam periods or less frequent ones for general support. It's totally flexible.
What's the main benefit of online tutoring compared to school?
The key difference is the personalised, one-to-one attention. In a classroom, teachers have to divide their time. With a tutor, the entire lesson is dedicated to your child, so they can learn at their own pace and focus on the exact topics they find tricky.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get help with coding, or practise a new language, you can find an expert tutor for them here.
