Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to Eccles Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them get the 'strong pass' in English they need?
Absolutely. This is a very common goal for parents we work with. Our tutors are experienced in helping students move from a standard pass to a strong pass (Grade 5 and above) by focusing on key assessment objectives, improving essay writing, and building exam confidence.
With universities in Manchester being so competitive, how can a tutor ensure my child's English grade stands out?
A great English grade is a key differentiator. A tutor can help your child develop a deeper, more analytical understanding of texts and improve the quality of their writing. This not only helps them achieve a higher grade but also equips them with the critical thinking skills that top universities value.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find a great match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to success.
How much does an online English tutor in Eccles cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so there's a price to suit every budget. Prices for English tutors in the Eccles area typically start from around £18 per hour, with the average cost being £25 per hour. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile.
How does online tutoring work?
All our lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed, and we carry out ID and background checks (including an Enhanced DBS check). We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to ensure you find the perfect fit, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. 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 often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is ideal for consistent progress. However, you can arrange sessions as often as you need, especially in the run-up to exams. You can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor.
Can tutoring help my child if they lack confidence in English?
Definitely. One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic confidence booster. It provides a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be hesitant to ask in class. Celebrating small wins in each lesson helps build their self-belief.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. Consistent weekly lessons often lead to noticeable improvements in confidence and understanding within just a few weeks.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python, we're here to support your child's passions and personal development too.
Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?
Not at all. We operate on a flexible, pay-as-you-go basis. There are no contracts or commitments. You can book as many or as few lessons as you need, giving you complete control.
