Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to a sixth form in Loughborough. Can a tutor help them secure a Grade 5 in English?
Absolutely. This is a very common goal for parents we support. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target specific grades. They can identify the exact areas your child needs to improve—from essay technique to textual analysis—to confidently achieve a Grade 5 or higher in their GCSE English exams.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Leicester. Can a tutor help strengthen my child's A-Level English skills?
Yes. Many of our tutors are A-Level specialists and can provide the in-depth support needed for university applications. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and critical thinking skills required to excel at A-Level and prepare them for undergraduate study at universities like Leicester.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. Think about your child’s personality and learning style – would they benefit from a very structured teacher, or someone with a more creative and relaxed approach? The choice is always yours.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must pass a background check before they can teach on our platform. We also personally interview each applicant and verify their ID and qualifications. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. That’s why we have a first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but typically range from £20 to £45 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price on our search page to find someone who fits your budget.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. When a tutor tailors lessons to their pace and helps them understand tricky topics, they experience small, consistent wins. This gradually builds their self-belief and shows them they are capable of succeeding.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has features like a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. A tutor might work with your child on analysing a poem on the whiteboard, help them structure an essay plan in a shared document, or review past paper questions together.
How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session per week is a great starting point for making steady progress, but you can arrange a frequency that works best for your child’s needs and your family's schedule directly with your tutor.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Once you find a tutor you like, you can send them a message to arrange your first session at a time that works for you both.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. You can find expert tutors for everything from coding and musical instruments like the guitar, to learning a new language.
Does my child need any special equipment for online tutoring?
Not at all. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download.
