Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple to find a great match. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to make sure they're the right fit for your child.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our English tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £22 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
My child attends Simon Balle School. Can we find a tutor familiar with their curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience with the curricula used in specific schools. You can mention your child's school when messaging tutors to find someone who understands the topics and exam boards they're working with, ensuring the support is perfectly aligned.
Can a tutor help with A-Level English for an application to the University of Hertfordshire?
Yes, we have many specialist A-Level English tutors who can provide targeted support. They can help your child deepen their subject knowledge, refine their essay technique, and build the confidence needed to achieve the grades for their university application.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for brainstorming ideas or analysing texts together, and a space to share documents. It’s a secure and effective way to learn from the comfort of home.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass an interview with our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can tutoring help my child's confidence in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As their tutor helps them grasp difficult concepts and they start to see their own progress, their self-belief naturally grows.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can always arrange a different lesson length by discussing it with your tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like creative writing?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic areas, we also have brilliant tutors who can help your child explore passions like creative writing, public speaking, music, or even coding. It's a great way to build new skills.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, as per our cancellation policy.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are handled securely and simply through the Tutorful platform. After each lesson is completed, your card is automatically charged, so you never have to worry about handling cash or making manual bank transfers.
