Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a top sixth form after Fortismere. Can a tutor help with that specific goal?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students secure places at competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific essay-writing and analytical skills needed to achieve the top GCSE grades that selectors are looking for.
We're thinking ahead to university applications for places like UCL or King's. Can a tutor support with A-Level English?
Yes, definitely. Our A-Level English tutors are brilliant at helping students develop the sophisticated arguments and critical thinking needed for A and A* grades. They can guide your child through complex texts and help them prepare for the rigours of university-level study.
What happens if we're not happy with the first lesson?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our 'First Lesson Guarantee'. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Is tutoring just for core academic subjects, or do you offer other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can also find experts to help your child learn to code, play the guitar, or even master a new language. It's all about helping them discover their passions.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs, whether it’s understanding poetry or improving their essay structure, to make sure it's a great fit.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
One-to-one attention makes a huge difference. A tutor can create a supportive, encouraging space where your child feels comfortable asking questions they might not ask in a busy classroom. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help build confidence step by step.
Are all the tutors background checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has undergone a thorough background check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, ensuring you get the highest quality of teaching.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, so your child and their tutor can work through texts, edit essays, and share resources just as easily as if they were in the same room.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Most lessons are an hour long, and most families opt for one session per week. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange longer sessions or more frequent lessons with your tutor, especially in the run-up to exams like GCSEs or A-Levels.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE English texts like 'Macbeth'?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum. They can provide tailored support on specific texts, helping your child to analyse key quotes, understand character development, and structure their essays to hit the top marking bands.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today. Simply search for English tutors, message a few you like the look of, and you could have your first lesson booked in within a couple of days. Join the 200,000+ happy students who have found their perfect tutor with us.
