Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply for A-Levels at Bedford College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for parents we support in the area. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades they need for sixth form or college entry. They can focus on the specific areas of the English curriculum your child finds challenging to build their skills and confidence ahead of their exams.
There's a lot of academic pressure in the Kempston area. How can a tutor help my child manage this?
A one-to-one tutor can be a huge help in managing academic pressure. By providing a calm, supportive space to ask questions without fear of judgement, they help your child build true confidence in their abilities. This often reduces their anxiety and helps them feel much more in control of their learning.
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 get a feel for their approach. Think about what your child needs most – is it help with essay structure, exam technique, or understanding a specific text? Many tutors list their specialisms on their profile to help you decide.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first 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 does an online English tutor cost?
The cost of tutoring varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is interviewed and has their ID verified. They must also provide a valid DBS check before they can teach on the platform. We're very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted.
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 your home.
My child's confidence in English is really low. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a positive and encouraging environment where your child can work at their own pace. Celebrating small wins and breaking down difficult topics helps rebuild the self-belief they need to succeed.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, you can arrange lessons as often as you feel your child needs. You can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we're here to help with all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach practical and creative skills. You can find tutors for everything from learning the guitar and singing to coding in Python.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress and see how they're getting on. Many parents say they quickly notice a positive change in their child's confidence and schoolwork.
What equipment does my child need for online tutoring?
All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, plus a stable internet connection. That's it! Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download.
