Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study at Dereham Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them secure the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. This is a very common goal for parents we work with. Our tutors can focus specifically on the skills needed to achieve a grade 6 or higher in GCSE English, helping to open up your child's A-Level options and build a strong foundation for their studies at the college.
We're hoping for a place at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in the future. How can English tutoring help with that?
A strong command of English is vital for university applications and study. Our tutors can help your child develop the critical analysis and essay writing skills that universities like UEA look for. Building these skills early not only helps with their personal statement but also prepares them for the demands of degree-level work.
How do I find the right English tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors based on experience, price, and availability. It's a great idea to watch their introductory videos and read reviews from other parents. You can also message a few tutors for free to make sure they're a good fit before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is really important, and we want you to be completely happy. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, so you can find someone who 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.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors can break down tricky topics and celebrate small wins, which makes a huge difference to your child's self-belief.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and Python.
Can I see reviews from other parents?
Of course. Every tutor profile features reviews and ratings from other parents and students. It's a great way to get a feel for their teaching style. We're proud to have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 customer reviews on the platform.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor if you need to – it's completely flexible.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first session is usually about getting to know your child. The tutor will chat with them about their goals, what they enjoy (and don't enjoy!) about English, and identify any areas where they need the most support. It's a relaxed way to build a plan for future lessons.
