Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

With the high standards at schools like Mossbourne in Dalston, can a tutor really help my child keep up?

Absolutely. A one-to-one tutor can provide focused attention that isn't always possible in a busy classroom. They can work at your child's pace, reinforcing what they've learned at school and targeting any specific areas where they need extra help to stay confident and on track.

My child is aiming for a competitive London university. Can a tutor help with that?

Yes. Our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the top grades needed for entry into Russell Group and other leading universities. They can focus on developing the advanced analytical and writing skills that admissions tutors look for, not just for A-Levels but also in personal statements.

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

You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a lesson to ensure you find the perfect match.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the right fit for your child. 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 can a tutor help my child with their GCSE English exams specifically?

Tutors can make a huge difference. They can break down the mark scheme, teach effective exam techniques, work on analysing unseen texts, and help your child structure essays for maximum marks. We know this focused approach works, as it can help students improve their final GCSE grade by up to 2 grades.

How much does an online English tutor in Dalston cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a great tutor who fits your budget.

How does online tutoring work?

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

How can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence in English?

Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them rediscover their belief in their own abilities.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has an up-to-date DBS or background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.

How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?

Every child learns at a different pace, but consistency is key. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something different like guitar or coding?

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their passions.

How do I schedule lessons, and can I change them if needed?

Scheduling is easy and flexible. You can arrange lesson times directly with your chosen tutor through our messaging system. If you need to reschedule, you can do so with at least 12 hours' notice, giving you the flexibility to fit learning around your busy family life.
