Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for Wyke College or Beverley Joint Sixth Form?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced in helping students aim for specific post-16 providers. They can focus on the exact requirements of the English Language GCSE to help your child build the skills and confidence needed to secure their place.

My child is hoping to study at the University of Hull. Can a tutor support their A-Level English studies too?

Yes, definitely. We have specialist A-Level English tutors who can provide in-depth support for the step up from GCSEs. They can help your child master advanced essay writing and textual analysis, preparing them for the rigours of university-level study.

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 other parents, and check a tutor's experience. You can also send them a message before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.

How can a tutor help my child with their GCSE English exams?

Our tutors can provide targeted support to help improve your child's GCSE results by up to two grades. They focus on key areas like exam technique, understanding the mark scheme, and building confidence with specific texts and question types, giving your child the best possible preparation.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and has been personally vetted by our team. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget and filter your search to find someone who fits. All pricing is clear and upfront on the tutor's profile, so there are no surprises.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

How does online tutoring work?

It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.

How can tutoring help if my child lacks confidence?

Confidence is often the biggest barrier to progress. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement. Our tutors are brilliant at building a positive rapport, celebrating small wins, and helping your child see what they are truly capable of.

Is tutoring just for core subjects like English, or can you help with other interests?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we love helping with academic goals, we can also connect your child with expert tutors for music, coding, learning a new language, or even public speaking. It's all about helping them pursue their passions.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that one 60-minute session per week is ideal for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange lessons more or less frequently depending on your child's needs, such as extra sessions in the run-up to an exam.

What results can I expect?

We're proud that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. With over 200,000 happy students and a 4.6-star rating from 4,100+ reviews, we are confident in our tutors' ability to provide the focused, one-to-one support that helps your child achieve their goals.
