Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child wants to apply to Runshaw College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can provide targeted support to help your child secure the grades they need for their college application. They can focus on exam technique, specific texts, and building the confidence needed to perform their best.

We live near Lancaster and are worried about the 11+ for the grammar school. Do you have tutors who specialise in this?

Yes, we do. You can filter your search for tutors with specific experience in 11+ and entrance exam preparation. They understand what local grammar schools are looking for and can help your child build the core English and reasoning skills required.

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 finding a tutor whose teaching style and experience match your child's needs and personality. You can even message them before booking to ensure it's a good fit.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know how important the right connection 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 can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and personally interviewed by our team. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child learns from the very best.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Prices vary 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 expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.

How do online lessons work?

Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.

My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?

Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is building confidence. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement, helping them to rediscover their enjoyment of the subject.

How quickly will we see an improvement?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that consistent tutoring makes a real difference. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The personalised attention helps them grasp concepts much faster than in a classroom setting.

Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?

We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn Python, master the guitar, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them pursue their passion.

Can a tutor help my child with their A-Level English Literature texts?

Yes, many of our English tutors have extensive experience with the A-Level curriculum. They can provide in-depth analysis of specific texts, help with essay writing, and prepare your child for the specific demands of their A-Level exams.

What happens if we need to reschedule a lesson?

Life can be busy, we get it. You can easily manage your schedule through the platform. Our tutors are usually flexible, and as long as you give them enough notice (as per their cancellation policy), you can reschedule lessons for a time that works better for you.
