Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a top grade in their GCSE English to get into a competitive Hertfordshire sixth form. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes. Our English tutors are brilliant at helping students aim for those top GCSE grades (7-9). They can focus on key skills like essay structure and textual analysis that are crucial for success. In fact, we find our support can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to two grades.
We're aiming for a partially selective school in Hertfordshire like Dame Alice Owen's. Can we find a tutor with 11+ experience?
Yes, absolutely. Many tutors on our platform specialise in 11+ preparation. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in entrance exams and even mention your target schools when you message them to ensure they're the right fit for your child.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
There are so many tutors! How do I choose the right one for my child?
We make it easy. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs and make sure it feels like a good fit.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply. We carefully vet their qualifications to ensure you're choosing from the very best tutors across the UK.
Can a tutor help if my child's confidence in English is low?
Absolutely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a safe, supportive space, your child can ask questions and work at their own pace without the pressure of a classroom. Our tutors are experts at building confidence and helping students see what they're truly capable of.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. There's an interactive whiteboard for working through problems, video chat to speak with their tutor face-to-face, and a tool for sharing documents and past papers. It's simple, effective, and all done from home.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
How frequent should the lessons be?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. Most families start with one session a week, but you can arrange more frequent lessons during busy exam periods or less frequent top-up sessions as needed. It's something you can discuss and agree upon with your tutor.
Is tutoring just for core school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have experts who can teach skills like coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, or even public speaking. It's all about helping your child pursue their passions.
Do you cover all levels of English?
Yes, we have English tutors who specialise in all levels, from helping younger children build a love for reading at primary school, through to KS3, GCSE, A-Level, and even degree-level support. You can filter by level of study to find the perfect match.
What is the cancellation policy if we need to reschedule?
We ask for 12 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule a lesson without charge. This gives tutors enough time to offer the slot to another student. You can manage all your bookings easily through your Tutorful account.
