Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is hoping to apply to the London Academy of Excellence (LAE). Can a tutor help them prepare?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students meet the high entry requirements for competitive sixth forms like LAE. They can focus on strengthening your child's essay writing, textual analysis, and communication skills to help their application stand out.

We're aiming for a top London university like UCL or Queen Mary. How can an English tutor support this goal?

A strong A-Level English grade is often a prerequisite for top universities. A tutor can provide foundational support at GCSE level and continue through A-Levels, helping your child develop the advanced analytical and critical thinking skills needed to excel in their exams and write a compelling personal statement.

How do I find the right English tutor for my child?

You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in the right level, from primary school to A-Level. You can watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them directly to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding the right personality and teaching style for your child.

How much does online English tutoring cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study. Tutors set their own rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits your family's budget.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know how important the right fit is. 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 can a tutor help my child improve their GCSE English grade?

A tutor provides personalised attention that's hard to get in a busy classroom. They can identify specific areas where your child is struggling, whether it's understanding Shakespeare or structuring essays, and work through them at your child's pace. This targeted support is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade.

Are your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can join our platform.

What happens in a typical online English lesson?

Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat and an interactive whiteboard. A tutor might use the whiteboard to analyse a poem together, work through practice exam questions, or collaboratively edit an essay in real-time. Each session is tailored to your child's goals.

How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?

Lessons are typically one hour long, and most families find that one session per week works best. However, this is completely flexible. You can discuss the ideal frequency with your tutor based on your child's goals, whether they need ongoing weekly support or a few intensive sessions before an exam.

How can tutoring help my child build confidence, not just grades?

Confidence comes from understanding. When a tutor explains something in a way that finally 'clicks' for your child, it's a huge boost. This one-to-one encouragement in a safe, supportive space helps them feel more comfortable asking questions and sharing ideas, which translates into more confidence in the classroom.

Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like coding or playing the guitar?

While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also offer tuition in a wide range of other areas! You can find tutors for music, languages, coding, and professional development skills. It's all about helping your child pursue their passions.

How do I know if my child is making progress?

Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child’s development. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress. Often, the first sign you'll see is your child feeling more positive and less stressed about their English homework and exams.
