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

We know how important the right connection is for learning. That's why we have a 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 I know the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must go through a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from a trusted and experienced expert.

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter your search to find someone who fits your budget. Tutors set their own rates, and all pricing is clearly shown on their profiles with no hidden costs.

Most families find that a one-hour session each week works best, especially when preparing for exams like GCSEs. However, you can arrange a schedule that fits your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your chosen tutor.

Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?

While we have experts for core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also offer tutoring in a wide range of other areas. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with coding, or even learn a new language. It’s all about supporting their passions and development.

How quickly can we get started?

You can find and message tutors straight away. Many tutors respond quickly, and you could have your child's first lesson booked within 24 hours. It's a fast and simple way to get them the support they need.

What happens if we need to cancel a lesson?

Life happens, and our tutors understand that. Each tutor has their own cancellation policy, which is clearly stated on their profile. Generally, as long as you give at least 12-24 hours' notice, you can reschedule your lesson without any charge.
