Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Holyrood Academy. Can a tutor help them aim for a place at Richard Huish College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the GCSE grades they need for specific sixth forms and colleges. They can focus on the key areas of the English curriculum to build your child's skills and confidence, helping them meet the entry requirements for places like Richard Huish.
We're hoping for a top grade in GCSE English to keep options open for universities like Exeter or Bristol. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, that's a great goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students move beyond just a pass mark to achieve the higher grades (7-9) that competitive universities look for. They can work on advanced essay techniques, deeper textual analysis, and exam strategy to help your child stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to make sure you've found the right person for them.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key to learning. 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 feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, there are no silly questions. A tutor can patiently go over topics your child finds tricky, celebrate small wins, and show them they are capable of making real progress. This personalised support is fantastic for building self-esteem.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child to collaborate with their tutor just as they would in person.
Can a tutor help with specific texts, like 'An Inspector Calls' or poetry?
Yes, definitely. Tutors can tailor sessions to focus on exactly what your child is studying, whether it's a specific novel, play, or the poetry anthology. This targeted support is brilliant for exam preparation.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is ideal for steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want to arrange more sessions in the run-up to an exam. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we have experts for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer tutors for a huge range of other skills. From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to coding languages like Python, we're here to support all of your child's learning goals.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
We believe it's even better! Online tutoring gives you access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live nearby. Plus, with interactive tools and the ability to re-watch recorded sessions, it provides a flexible and powerful learning experience for your child.
