Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends a competitive local school. Can a tutor help them stand out?
Absolutely. Many parents in Pocklington use our tutors to give their child that extra edge. A tutor can work specifically on the analytical and essay-writing skills needed to turn a good grade into a great one, helping your child feel confident and prepared in a competitive environment.
We're aiming for a course at the University of York. Can a tutor help with the required A-Level skills?
Yes. Our tutors are brilliant at bridging the gap between GCSE and A-Level. They can help your child develop the sophisticated analytical and critical thinking skills that top universities like York look for in their applicants, giving them a strong foundation for success.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with. The best tutor is one who understands your child's specific goals and learning style.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space works wonders for confidence. When your child masters a topic they once found tricky, like analysing unseen poetry, their self-belief grows. Our tutors are experts at celebrating small wins and creating a positive learning environment.
Are your tutors properly vetted?
Yes, your child's safety is our priority. All our tutors are background-checked, and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
What happens if we don't click with the 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 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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Our tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.
Can tutoring really improve my child's GCSE English grade?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. The focused, one-to-one support helps iron out any weak spots. In fact, our data shows that working with a Tutorful tutor can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, with video chat, a shared whiteboard, and document sharing. A tutor might work with your child to plan an essay on 'Macbeth', review past paper questions, or practise grammar and punctuation – every lesson is tailored to what your child needs most.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time that works for you, and book your first session.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to speaking Spanish.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and convenient. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons happen in our purpose-built online classroom, which allows your child and their tutor to talk, share resources, and use an interactive whiteboard.
