Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Sir John Deane's College. Can a tutor help with the grades needed for their A-Level pathways?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the specific GCSE grades, often a '7' or higher in English, required for entry into competitive sixth forms and colleges like Sir John Deane's. They can focus on the analytical and essay-writing skills that examiners are looking for.
We live in Knutsford. Are the tutors local?
Our tutors are based all across the UK, and because all lessons are online, you can choose the absolute best tutor for your child, regardless of location. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists than if you were limited to just the Knutsford area.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right personal connection is key. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs. It's all about finding the perfect match for your child's personality and learning style.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child with confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space can do wonders for confidence. When your child masters a tricky concept, like understanding Shakespearean language, or sees their essay grades improve, their self-belief grows. Our tutors are experts at creating a positive learning environment.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can join our platform. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work through problems, review essays, and share resources just as they would in person.
My child struggles with exam technique. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. Exam technique is a common area where tutors can make a big impact. They can work with your child on time management, how to structure answers to get maximum marks, and how to stay calm under pressure, using past papers for practice.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to help you and your child see the progress being made. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss goals and achievements. Seeing their understanding and grades improve is the best indicator of success.
Do you only offer help for core academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also have experts who can teach practical and creative skills like coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, or even a new language. There's a huge range to explore.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
