Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to a competitive London sixth form. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students prepare for entry into competitive sixth forms. They can focus on strengthening essay writing, critical analysis, and exam techniques to help your child's application stand out.
We're aiming for a top university like UCL or King's College. How can an English tutor support this?
Our tutors can help build the strong foundation in English that these universities look for. They can provide support with A-Level texts, develop advanced analytical skills, and even offer guidance on personal statements, helping your child demonstrate their passion and capability for higher education.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals. It's all about finding someone your child connects with and who has the right experience for their needs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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.
How much do online English tutors in Harlesden cost?
Our tutors set their own 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 extra costs.
How do 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 simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted to work with us.
How can a tutor help my child with their GCSE English exams?
A tutor can make a huge difference. They can help your child understand the mark scheme, practice past papers, and build confidence in specific areas they find tricky. Our data shows we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can start very quickly! Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours. Once you find a tutor you like and agree on a time, you can book your first lesson straight away.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Tutors will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also see their confidence grow as they start to understand difficult topics and feel more prepared for class discussions and exams.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument, try coding, or develop their public speaking skills, we have expert tutors who can help.
Can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. The one-to-one attention from a tutor helps your child ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. As their understanding grows, so does their self-esteem, which has a positive impact on all their studies.
