Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to Gateshead College or Whickham School. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are experienced in helping students meet the specific entry requirements for local sixth forms and colleges. They can focus on the GCSE skills and grades needed to make a strong application and help your child feel confident about taking that next step.
We're hoping for a place at Newcastle or Durham University. Can tutoring support this long-term goal?
Yes, it's a great way to build a strong foundation. Success at A-Level and beyond starts with excellent GCSE results. An English tutor can help your child master the analytical and communication skills that top universities like Newcastle and Durham value highly, setting them on the right path early on.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is essential for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, 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 read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child will respond to.
How much does an online English tutor cost in Gateshead?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and level of study. This transparency helps you find an expert tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden costs.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a safe and effective learning space your child can access from any computer or tablet.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down tricky topics, like analysing poetry, into manageable steps, which really helps build self-belief.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can join our platform. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
Can we get help with specific things like GCSE exam technique?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Tutors can dedicate entire sessions to improving exam technique, from time management to understanding what examiners are looking for. This targeted practice can make a huge difference to their final grade.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others have weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss a plan with your tutor – there are no long-term commitments, so you have complete flexibility.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects from Maths to English, we also have amazing tutors who can teach life-long skills and hobbies, from learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
