Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for Ilkley Grammar's sixth form. Can a tutor help with the specific entry requirements?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students meet the specific grade requirements for competitive sixth forms. They can focus lessons on the exact skills and exam techniques needed to secure top GCSE grades in English Language and Literature.

We're concerned about the competition for Russell Group universities. Do your tutors have experience with this?

Yes. A strong foundation in English is crucial for applications to top universities. Our tutors, many of whom are Russell Group graduates themselves, can help your child develop the advanced analytical and communication skills that admissions tutors look for, starting with securing excellent GCSE and A-Level grades.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Think about your child's personality and learning style – are they quiet and in need of a confidence boost, or do they need someone to challenge them? Finding the right personality match is key.

How much does an online English tutor in Ilkley cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study, but typically range from £25 to £50 per hour. All pricing is clearly shown on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget with no hidden costs.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have a 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 do online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way 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 single tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has had their ID and qualifications verified by our team. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring the highest quality and safety.

How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?

Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy to ask in class. As their tutor helps them fill in the gaps and they start to see their own progress, their self-belief naturally grows.

Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?

Yes, most of our English tutors are experts in both and can tailor lessons to cover whatever your child needs most. Whether it's analysing poetry for Literature or mastering persuasive writing for Language, they can create a plan that covers all bases.

How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Consistent weekly lessons often lead to noticeable improvements in confidence and understanding within just a few weeks.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else, like coding or playing the guitar?

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning skills like coding, public speaking, or a new language, to hobbies like playing the guitar or chess, we have expert tutors who can help your child explore their passions.

What if my child has a specific learning need, like dyslexia?

Many of our tutors have experience and specific qualifications in supporting students with learning needs like dyslexia or ADHD. You can use our filters to find tutors with this experience and message them to discuss your child's specific requirements before booking.
