Every 45-minute lesson is built around your child’s specific goals. Whether they need to focus on structuring the perfect GCSE essay or analysing quotes from 'Macbeth', the session is dedicated entirely to them. This targeted support is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, giving them the boost they need. We make finding that perfect tutor simple.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is feeling the pressure of Harrow's competitive schools. How can a tutor help?
We understand the academic pressure in Harrow is high. A private tutor provides a calm, supportive space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. They can break down complex topics, build on your child's specific weaknesses, and give them the confidence to excel in a competitive environment.
We're aiming for a top sixth form place. Can we find a tutor experienced with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are highly experienced in helping students achieve the top 8/9 grades at GCSE needed for entry into competitive sixth forms. You can view their full profiles, including their experience and qualifications, to find the perfect match for your child's goals.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed profiles, watch introductory videos, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps ensure you find someone your child will connect with.
How much does an online English tutor cost in Harrow?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget.
How can a tutor help my child with their GCSE English exams?
A tutor can provide targeted support to help your child master the GCSE curriculum, from exam technique to analysing unseen texts. They can focus on the exact areas your child finds difficult, which is why we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
How are your tutors vetted?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass an interview to assess their skills and experience. We're selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
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 first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How long are the online lessons?
Our standard lessons are 45 minutes long, which we find is the perfect amount of time to keep students engaged and focused while making real progress. You can discuss different lesson lengths directly with your chosen tutor.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can tutoring help my child build confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. The one-to-one attention from a supportive tutor helps your child feel comfortable asking questions and mastering topics at their own pace. This success builds their self-esteem, which often has a positive impact on their other subjects too.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is ideal for consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent lessons during exam periods or school holidays, whatever works best for your child.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer expert support for academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or speak a new language, we can help.
