Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to a competitive sixth form like Beauchamp College. Can a tutor help them secure a Grade 6 or 7 in GCSE English?
Absolutely. Many parents in the East Midlands share this goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades. They can focus on the key skills and exam techniques needed to help your child meet the entry requirements for top sixth forms and feel confident in their abilities.
We live near Nottingham and are thinking about university choices. Can an English tutor help with A-Levels and university applications?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in A-Level English and can provide support that extends beyond the curriculum. They can help your child with personal statements and developing the analytical skills that universities like the University of Nottingham or Loughborough look for in their applicants.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and even message tutors for free before booking. We recommend looking for a tutor whose profile mentions experience with your child's specific exam board (like AQA or Edexcel) and learning goals.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically start from around £20 per hour. You can easily filter by price when you search, allowing you to find a brilliant, experienced tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict selection process, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed by our team and must pass an enhanced background check before they can teach on our platform.
Can tutoring really help my child's confidence?
It's one of the biggest benefits we see. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be hesitant to ask in class. This personalised attention helps them grasp difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and build the self-belief that makes a huge difference.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for an engaging lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find a weekly one-hour session works best, especially in the run-up to exams like GCSEs. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child's needs and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
What kind of results can we expect?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our students see great results. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. Our goal is to help your child feel more capable and positive about their learning, which naturally leads to better outcomes.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
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 interests.
