Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
With the competition at schools like Sheldon and Hardenhuish, can a tutor help my child aim for a grade 7 or above in GCSE English?
Absolutely. Many parents in Chippenham come to us with this exact goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target top grades by focusing on exam board requirements, refining essay technique, and building a deep understanding of the texts to help them stand out.
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Bath or Bristol. Can a tutor help with their personal statement?
Yes, many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students craft compelling personal statements for their UCAS applications. They can help your child articulate their strengths and structure their writing to make a strong impression on competitive universities.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and even message tutors for free before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and a personality your child will get on with.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £45 per hour, depending on their experience and level of demand. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a great tutor who fits your budget.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy to ask in class. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them feel much more capable and self-assured.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online classroom has all the tools your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a microphone, a camera, and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, most of our English tutors are highly experienced in teaching both the Language and Literature GCSEs and A-Levels. You can check their individual profiles to see their specific areas of expertise and find the best fit for your child's needs.
What results can we really expect?
We're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade, and many see an even bigger improvement. With over 4,100 reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, you can feel confident you're giving your child proven support.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should we have them?
Sessions are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session a week is ideal for consistent progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works for you and your child directly with your tutor. There are no contracts or minimum commitments.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're experts in core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have brilliant tutors for a huge range of other skills! From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish to coding in Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
