Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study A-Levels at Ashton Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them secure the right GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and know exactly what's needed to achieve a Grade 5, 6, or higher. They can work with your child on specific areas of the syllabus to build their skills and confidence, helping them meet the entry requirements for their desired A-Level courses.
We live near the University of Manchester. Can a tutor help prepare my child for the level of English required for a competitive degree course?
Yes. A strong foundation in English is vital for university success. Our tutors can help your child develop the critical thinking, analytical, and essay-writing skills that are essential for undergraduate study. Building these skills at GCSE level gives them a significant head start for future applications and study at institutions like the University of Manchester.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introduction videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors who have experience with your child's specific goals, like GCSEs, and then sending them a message to see who feels like the best fit for your child's personality and learning style.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it’s the perfect fit. If for any reason you and your child don't get on with your first tutor, simply 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?
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, contracts or subscriptions.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS background check and has been personally vetted by our education team. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. Many parents find it's even more effective than in-person tuition, as lessons are focused, convenient, and all revision notes are saved in one place for your child to look back on.
Can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence in English?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. They'll celebrate small wins and help your child rediscover their enjoyment of the subject.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our one-to-one approach is designed for progress. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's needs. Most students have one lesson a week, but you can arrange more frequent sessions in the run-up to exams or less frequent lessons for general support. You can discuss the best plan with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills too?
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 modern languages.
What is the booking process like?
It's simple. You can search for tutors, send messages to ask questions, and book your first session directly through their profile. Our system handles all the scheduling and payments, making it completely hassle-free for you.
