Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grade they need for The Island VI Form?
Absolutely. Our tutors are very experienced in helping students secure the grades they need for their post-16 choices. They can focus specifically on the GCSE curriculum to build your child's skills and confidence, targeting that crucial Grade 5 and above.
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Southampton. Can an English tutor help with their personal statement?
Yes, many of our English tutors have experience supporting students with their UCAS applications and personal statements. They can help your child articulate their strengths and structure a compelling statement that will make their application to mainland universities stand out.
How do I find the right English tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience, such as GCSE English Language or A-Level Literature. You can read their profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors before booking to make sure they're a great fit.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Tutor prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced tutor who fits your budget.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has an up-to-date DBS or background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted to the platform.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know that the right fit is important for learning. 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 does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All 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.
Can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence in English?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor can create a supportive, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. Rebuilding that confidence is often the first step to seeing their grades improve.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's English grade?
Every child learns at a different pace, but regular, consistent lessons can make a real difference quite quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
What topics can an English tutor cover?
Our tutors can cover a huge range of topics, from early years phonics right up to degree-level literary theory. For GCSE students, they can help with everything from poetry analysis and creative writing to spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like English, or can you help with other skills?
While we have tutors for all academic subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for learning a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or even practical skills like coding.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely up to you and your child. Some families use tutoring for a short-term boost before an exam, while others prefer regular weekly lessons to provide consistent support throughout the school year. You can discuss your child's goals with your tutor to work out the best plan.
