Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is hoping to get into BHASVIC or Varndean College. Can a tutor help them meet the English GCSE requirements?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced in helping students aim for specific grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the exact skills and knowledge required by the GCSE curriculum to help your child strengthen their application and build their confidence.

We're thinking ahead to university applications for places like the University of Sussex. How can English tutoring help now?

That's a great way to think ahead. Strong essay writing and analytical skills learned for English GCSE and A-Level are crucial for university. A tutor can help your child develop a clear, persuasive writing style that will be invaluable for their personal statement and future degree-level work.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know that the right fit is important. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect 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.

Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

It's for so much more! While we have experts for core subjects like English and Maths, we also have tutors who can teach hobbies and professional skills, from playing the guitar and learning a new language to coding in Python.

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

You can read detailed profiles for each tutor, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents just like you. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat before you book, so you and your child can get a feel for their teaching style.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts.

My child's confidence in English is low. How can a tutor help with that?

This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a supportive, private lesson, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors are brilliant at breaking down difficult topics, celebrating small wins, and helping students see that they really can succeed.

How do the online lessons actually work?

Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and diagrams, and a space to upload documents like essays or past papers. It's a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your home.

How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview them to assess their expertise and teaching ability. In fact, we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most students have one lesson a week, but it's completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor to create a schedule that works for your family, whether it's regular weekly support or a few intensive sessions before an exam.

How much can my child's GCSE English grade improve?

Every child learns at their own pace, but dedicated one-to-one support can make a real difference. Studies have shown that our approach can help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades, giving them a much stronger foundation for their A-Levels.

What if my child just needs help with one specific topic, like poetry?

That's perfectly fine. The beauty of one-to-one tutoring is that it's completely tailored to your child's needs. You can book as many or as few sessions as you need, focusing entirely on the areas where your child needs the most support.
