Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Peter Symonds College. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the high GCSE English grades needed for entry into competitive sixth forms like Peter Symonds. They can focus on strengthening the specific skills and exam techniques required to help your child meet and exceed the entry requirements.
We're in Liss and know how competitive Bohunt Sixth Form is. How can a tutor give my child an edge?
A tutor provides one-to-one attention that's impossible in a busy classroom. By focusing entirely on your child's needs, a tutor can address specific weaknesses, build on their strengths, and boost their confidence – giving them the dedicated preparation needed to stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view detailed tutor profiles which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory call, giving you and your child a chance to chat and ensure it’s a good fit before booking a lesson.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 do online English tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
A one-to-one lesson is a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling self-conscious. Tutors provide constant encouragement and positive feedback, celebrating small wins and helping your child see their own progress, which is a fantastic confidence booster.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are ID and background-checked, and we are very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents, making it feel just like you're in the same room.
Are tutors qualified to teach GCSE English?
Many of our tutors are qualified teachers or subject matter experts with extensive experience in the GCSE English curriculum. You can see all their qualifications and experience clearly listed on their profile to find the perfect person for your child.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we're experts in core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to code, play the guitar, or speak a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor on Tutorful.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress and see how they are growing in both skill and confidence after each session.
