Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child with the English requirements for Wakefield College or Pontefract New College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the specific entry requirements for local colleges. They can focus on the key skills and grade boundaries needed to help your child secure a place on their desired A-Level or vocational course.
My child is hoping to study at the University of Leeds. Can a tutor support their A-Level English journey?
Yes, definitely. We have many specialist A-Level English tutors who can provide in-depth support for the step up from GCSEs. They can help your child master complex texts and develop the analytical skills needed to achieve the grades for competitive universities like Leeds or Sheffield.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know how important the right fit 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 do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and use our filters to find someone with the right experience, for example, in GCSE exam preparation. You can also message tutors before booking to make sure they're a great match for your child's personality and learning style.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £20 to £45 per hour, depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget with no hidden costs.
How do the online lessons work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. This means your child can work on anything from analysing poetry to practising exam papers with their tutor in real-time, all from the comfort of home.
How are your tutors vetted?
We take your child's safety very seriously. We interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply. All our tutors are background-checked and we verify their ID and qualifications to ensure you get the highest quality, trusted support.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point, especially when preparing for exams like GCSEs. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child's goals and your family's schedule directly with your tutor.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, we get it! You can easily manage your lessons through your Tutorful account. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice if you need to make a change.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. From learning to play the guitar and mastering coding languages like Python to getting support with university applications, we have expert tutors who can help your child explore their passions.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to check their availability, and you could be booking your child's first lesson for as early as today. Many of the 200,000+ students we've helped found their perfect tutor in just a few minutes.
