Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to Bay House Sixth Form. Can a tutor help them get the English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades needed for specific post-16 providers. They can focus lessons on the key skills required to achieve a grade 5 or above in GCSE English, giving your child the best possible chance of getting into their first-choice college.
We're thinking ahead to the University of Portsmouth. How important is a good English GCSE for that?
A strong GCSE English grade is vital. Most universities, including the University of Portsmouth, have minimum entry requirements for English and Maths, regardless of the course. Securing a good grade now keeps your child's options wide open for the future.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with. A good relationship is key to building their confidence.
How do I know the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online English tutoring cost in Gosport?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £20 to £50 per hour depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Each lesson is one-to-one and takes place in our interactive online classroom. Tutors use a range of tools like a digital whiteboard, file sharing, and video chat to make learning engaging. They can work on anything from essay practice and exam technique to understanding tricky texts.
My child really lacks confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. Celebrating small wins and building on their strengths can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
How quickly will we see an improvement in their grades?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one full grade.
What is the First Lesson Guarantee?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's 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.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, most of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both parts of the GCSE curriculum. You can see their specific areas of expertise on their profiles or simply message them to ask before you book.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're well-known for academic support, we offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. So, if your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find a brilliant tutor for that too.
How many sessions a week will my child need?
Most of our students have one session per week, as this provides a great balance of new learning and time to practise. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent lessons during exam periods or less frequent top-up sessions as needed.
