Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study A-Levels at Hugh Baird College. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary English GCSE grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the specific GCSE grades needed for college entry. They can focus on the exact areas of the English curriculum your child finds tricky, helping them build the skills and confidence to aim for a grade 5 and above.
We're worried about competition for university places in Liverpool. How can an English tutor help my child stand out?
A strong grasp of English is vital for a compelling university application. A tutor can help your child develop advanced analytical and writing skills, which are crucial for A-Levels and for crafting an impressive personal statement that catches the attention of admissions teams.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask about their experience. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, who has experience in the specific area you need help with, like GCSE English Literature.
How much do online English tutors 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 an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.
What 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 can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, supportive space where there are no 'silly questions'. When a child feels comfortable asking for help and starts to see their own progress, their confidence naturally grows. It’s often the biggest change parents tell us they see.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are from the UK and have passed an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every single tutor and only accept 1 in 8 of those who apply, so you can be sure they are of the highest quality.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which features a whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing. A tutor might work through a specific text with your child, review a practice essay together, or focus on exam techniques for an upcoming test.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to both you and your child. You can discuss your child's goals and track their improvement together. Seeing their understanding deepen and their marks improve is the best indicator of progress.
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 losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor to suit your child's needs.
Can a tutor help with both GCSE English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experts in both GCSE subjects. They can help your child balance the demands of each, from analysing poetry in Literature to mastering persuasive writing in Language. You can check their profiles for specific experience.
Does Tutorful only cover school subjects like English, or can you help with things like learning the guitar or coding?
While we're experts in core academic subjects, we also have talented tutors for a huge range of skills and hobbies! From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding, you can find a tutor to support your child's passions.
