Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child has their sights set on Exeter College. Can a tutor help them secure the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for many parents we help. Our tutors are very familiar with the GCSE English curriculum and can focus specifically on the areas your child needs to improve to secure the grades required for their A-Level choices at Exeter College. They can help with everything from exam technique to essay writing.
We're aiming for a top university like the University of Exeter. Can a tutor help with the advanced A-Level English skills required?
Yes. Our A-Level English tutors are experts in helping students develop the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills needed for top grades. They can guide your child through complex texts and teach them how to articulate nuanced arguments, which is crucial for a competitive university application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend finding a tutor who has experience with your child's specific level (e.g., GCSE or A-Level) and whose teaching style seems like a good match for your child's personality. You can even message them before booking to ask any questions.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, a shared whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s a secure and interactive space where your child can engage with their tutor just as they would in person. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive environment makes a huge difference. Your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, and the tutor can praise their progress and gently correct mistakes. This personalised encouragement helps them feel much more capable and confident in their abilities.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson a week, as this provides consistency and allows them time to absorb what they've learned. However, this is completely flexible. You can arrange lessons as frequently as you need, for example, increasing the frequency in the run-up to exams.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the English curriculum, like poetry analysis?
Definitely. That's one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. If your child finds poetry particularly challenging, their tutor can dedicate entire sessions to breaking down poems, understanding literary devices, and building their confidence in that specific area.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at a different pace, but the focused, one-to-one support of tutoring often leads to noticeable improvements in confidence and understanding quite quickly. Our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade, showing the positive impact it can have.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can you help with other interests?
We cover a huge range of subjects! While many parents come to us for support with core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also have expert tutors who can teach everything from coding and guitar to learning a new language for fun.
