Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is at The Ongar Academy. Can a tutor help them specifically with the GCSE English curriculum?

Absolutely. Our tutors are very familiar with the AQA, Edexcel, and other exam board specifications used in schools like The Ongar Academy. They can help your child get to grips with set texts, prepare for unseen poetry, and perfect their exam technique to hit those crucial grade 6 and 7 boundaries.

We're considering applications for sixth forms in Chelmsford and Brentwood. Can a tutor help build a competitive profile?

Yes, they can. A strong GCSE English grade is a huge asset on any application. A tutor can help your child develop the analytical and communication skills that will make them stand out, not just in their exams but also in potential interviews or personal statements for those competitive sixth-form places.

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

It's easy to find a great match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from hundreds of other parents, and even message tutors for free before booking. Look for someone whose experience matches your child's needs, whether that's GCSE exam prep or building foundational confidence.

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 for any reason, 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 grade?

Our tutors provide focused, one-to-one support that can make a significant difference. By identifying and working on specific areas of weakness, they help students build both skills and confidence. In fact, our data shows we can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.

How much do online English tutors cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find an option that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to progress. In a one-to-one lesson, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. This personalised attention and positive reinforcement from a supportive tutor can work wonders for their self-esteem.

How long are the lessons and how often should they be?

Lessons are typically one hour long, and most families find that one session a week is a great rhythm for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child and your family directly with your chosen tutor.

Can I track my child's progress?

Yes. You can message your tutor at any time to get feedback on how your child is doing. Many tutors provide regular updates after each session, so you'll always be in the loop about the progress they're making.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer 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.
