Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for South Staffordshire College?
Yes, absolutely. Our English tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for A-Level courses. They can focus on the specific skills and knowledge your child needs to secure the strong GCSE grades required for their application.
My child hopes to apply to a top university like Birmingham or Warwick. How can a tutor help?
Our tutors can play a huge part in this long-term goal. They help build the deep subject knowledge and analytical skills that top universities look for. They can also provide invaluable support with personal statement writing and interview preparation for English-related degrees, helping your child's application stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a personal choice, and we make it easy. 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 – finding a tutor they get on with is the key to success.
How much does an online English tutor in Norton Canes cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is clearly displayed on their profile, so there are no surprises.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must provide a valid DBS check or equivalent background check. We are incredibly selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What happens if we don't like the first tutor we try?
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 first 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 can tutoring help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Confidence is often the biggest hurdle. One-to-one tuition provides a safe, supportive environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor celebrates small wins and builds them up, which can completely change their attitude towards the subject.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Most lessons are one hour long. We find that a regular weekly session is most effective for building momentum and seeing real progress, but the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your tutor to fit your family's schedule.
What tools are used in the online classroom?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a document editor. It's a simple and effective way for them to work directly with their tutor on everything from essay plans to analysing poetry.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer expert support for all academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or speak a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor right here.
How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and a more positive attitude towards their English lessons at school.
Do we have to commit to a certain number of lessons?
Not at all. There are no contracts or long-term commitments. You can book lessons as you go, whether you need a one-off session to prepare for a mock exam or regular weekly support. You are in complete control.
