Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for grammar schools in Ripon and Skipton. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience in preparing children for the 11+ entrance exams, including the verbal reasoning and comprehension sections common for schools in North Yorkshire. You can message tutors before booking to ask about their specific experience with 11+ preparation.
We're aiming for a top university like York or Durham. Can a tutor help with the step up to A-Level English?
Definitely. The jump from GCSE to A-Level English can be challenging. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and critical thinking skills needed to succeed, giving them a strong foundation for their A-Level studies and university applications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
We recommend reading tutor profiles to learn about their experience and teaching style. You can also see reviews from other parents, which is a great way to get a feel for who they are. Don't hesitate to send a message to a few tutors to ask questions before you book your first lesson.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is identity and background-checked before they can teach on our platform, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find someone who fits your budget. The cost is displayed clearly on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees.
How do online lessons work?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built virtual classroom. It includes a live video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and diagrams, and a space to upload documents like essays or past papers. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn.
What if my child doesn't click with their 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 quickly will I see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Our data shows that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Regular sessions help build momentum and confidence, which are crucial for making progress.
My child is already doing quite well. How can a tutor help?
That's great! Tutoring isn't just for students who are struggling. For a child who is already doing well, a tutor can provide the challenge they need to deepen their understanding, explore topics in more detail, and turn a good grade into a top one, which can be vital for competitive A-Level and university places.
Can I speak to a tutor before I book a lesson?
Of course. You can send a direct message to any tutor through our platform to discuss your child's needs and goals. This is a great way to make sure they are the right fit before you commit to a lesson.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
The beauty of one-to-one tutoring is that there's no 'typical' lesson! Each session is tailored to your child. They might spend time analysing a specific poem, planning an essay structure, working on grammar skills, or practising exam techniques. The tutor will focus on whatever your child needs most.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
Absolutely! While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also offer support in hundreds of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find a brilliant tutor on Tutorful.
