Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child with the specific demands of Scottish National 5 and Higher English?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are specialists in the Scottish curriculum. They can provide targeted support for the critical reading and essay writing skills needed to succeed in National 5 and make a confident transition to Higher English.
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Glasgow or Strathclyde. Can a tutor help with their application?
Yes, they can. A strong personal statement is crucial for competitive university courses. An English tutor can help your child structure their thoughts, articulate their ambitions clearly, and craft an application that truly reflects their strengths.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding a great personality fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is for your child's learning. That's why we have a 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.
My child’s confidence is low. Can a tutor really help with that?
Yes. In fact, it's one of the biggest benefits we see. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. This personalised support helps them overcome hurdles and see that they really can succeed.
How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and has been through our rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but typically range from £20-£50 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget.
What happens during a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat and an interactive whiteboard. A tutor might work with your child on analysing a specific text, planning an essay structure, or practising exam techniques, all tailored to their specific needs.
How do I know if online tutoring is really working?
You'll be able to see the progress for yourself. Tutors provide feedback after each session, and you'll likely notice your child feeling more positive about their schoolwork. With over 4,100 reviews and a 4.6-star rating, parents consistently tell us about the difference it makes.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
Most families opt for one session per week to build momentum and reinforce learning. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange sessions more or less frequently depending on your child's goals, such as extra support before an exam.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn a new language, master the guitar, or get started with coding, we have expert tutors who can help them explore their passions.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to check their availability, and you could have your first lesson booked within 24 hours. It's that simple to find the support your child needs.
