Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at Cardiff University. Can a tutor help with their application?
Absolutely. An English tutor can be invaluable in helping your child craft a compelling personal statement that stands out. They can also help them achieve the A-Level grades needed for a competitive course by strengthening their essay writing and analytical skills.
With the high standards at schools like Cardiff High, how can a tutor help my child keep up?
A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in a large class. This helps fill any knowledge gaps, reinforces classroom learning, and builds the confidence they need to participate and succeed.
My main worry is my child's English GCSE. How much can a tutor really help?
A great deal. Tutors can focus specifically on the areas your child finds most difficult, from poetry analysis to exam technique. We know this targeted support works—our data shows we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a personal choice, and we make it easy. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's needs to ensure it's a great fit.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship 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 do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All sessions are also recorded, so your child can re-watch them anytime for revision.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed, has their ID and qualifications checked, and undergoes an enhanced DBS background check.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find an expert who fits your budget, with prices starting from £15 per hour.
It's not just about grades. Can a tutor help my child's confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. The personalised attention and supportive environment helps children feel more capable and less anxious about their studies, which often translates into better performance and a happier school life.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is entirely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Many parents find a regular weekly session provides the perfect amount of consistent support, especially in the run-up to exams, but you can schedule lessons as often as you need.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with coding in Python, or even learn a new language.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first session is usually about the tutor getting to know your child. They'll chat about what your child enjoys, what they find challenging in English, and what their goals are. From there, they'll create a tailored plan to help them succeed.
