Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding a good match. You can read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos to get a feel for a tutor's personality, and message them beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to building their confidence.
My child is preparing for the 11+ for grammar schools around Solihull. Can an English tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have experience with the specific requirements for entrance exams in the Birmingham and Solihull area. They can help your child with everything from comprehension skills to creative writing, building their confidence for the exam.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter your search by price to find an expert English tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we offer a First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
We live in Knowle. Can a tutor help my child with their personal statement for universities like Birmingham or Warwick?
Yes, many of our A-Level English tutors are fantastic at helping students craft compelling personal statements for their UCAS applications. They can provide expert guidance on structure, tone, and content to help your child's application stand out to competitive universities.
How can an online tutor 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 too shy to ask in class. Tutors can break down tricky topics, celebrate small wins, and tailor lessons to your child's interests, making learning feel positive and empowering.
How do the online lessons work?
It's simple! All lessons happen in our online classroom, which has features like a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has been personally vetted by our team. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How often should my child have an English lesson?
Most parents find that one session a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange sessions with your tutor as often as you feel your child needs them, whether that's a one-off session before an exam or regular weekly support.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE or A-Level English texts?
Definitely. Our tutors have a deep knowledge of the curriculum and can provide focused support on specific texts, whether it's 'An Inspector Calls' for GCSE or Shakespeare for A-Level. They can help your child analyse themes, characters, and quotes to develop a deeper understanding.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like English, or can you help with other skills too?
While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also believe in learning for life! You can find expert tutors to help your child learn a musical instrument like the guitar, master a new language, get into coding, or even improve their public speaking skills.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions 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 discuss your needs directly with your tutor, as some may offer shorter or longer sessions if that works better for your child.
