Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends a state school in Oakham. Can a tutor help them compete with students from local independent schools?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for many parents. Our tutors specialise in providing that extra depth and personalised attention, focusing on the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills required for top grades at GCSE and A-Level, helping to level the playing field.
We're aiming for a Russell Group university. Can a tutor help my child get the A-Level English grades they need?
Yes. Many of our English tutors are experienced in helping students secure places at top universities. They can focus on developing the high-level critical thinking and writing skills that examiners and admissions teams look for.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and teaching style. Many tutors offer a short introductory chat before you book, which is a great way to see if they are a good fit for your child’s personality and learning needs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial 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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for them to learn from the comfort of home.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
A one-to-one tutor can be fantastic for rebuilding confidence. They create a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help your child feel capable and motivated again.
Can tutoring help with specific GCSE or A-Level English texts?
Definitely. Our tutors can provide expert guidance on specific set texts, whether it's Shakespeare, modern poetry, or a 19th-century novel. They can help your child understand key themes, analyse language, and structure high-scoring essays.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child also learn something like guitar or coding?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English and Maths, we also offer a huge range of other skills! You can find tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and public speaking.
How long are tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Most sessions are an hour long. We find a weekly session works best for most families as it provides consistency and builds momentum, but you are completely free to arrange a schedule that works for you and your child with your chosen tutor.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. You can easily manage your schedule through the platform. Most tutors are very flexible, but please check their individual cancellation policy, which is displayed on their profile.
