Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study A-Levels at Cardinal Newman College. Can a tutor help them achieve the necessary GCSE English grades?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced in helping students prepare for their GCSEs with specific college entry requirements in mind. They can focus on the key areas your child needs to strengthen to secure the grades needed for their chosen A-Level path.
We're aiming for a top university like Lancaster or Manchester. How can an English tutor support this long-term goal?
A strong GCSE in English is a vital first step. Our tutors help build a solid foundation in critical thinking, analysis, and communication – skills that are essential for A-Level success and are highly valued by competitive universities. They can help your child develop a love for the subject that will serve them well in the future.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the right fit. 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 right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child feels comfortable with.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Can tutoring help my child get a top GCSE grade, like a 7, 8 or 9?
Yes, they can. Our tutors are experts at helping students push for those top grades. For GCSEs, we know that focused support can improve a student's results by up to two grades. A tutor can help your child master exam technique and deepen their understanding of the text, giving them the best possible chance of achieving a top grade.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It means your child can get expert, one-to-one support from the comfort and safety of home.
How do I know my child is safe online?
Your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked, and we interview every single one. We also have a secure messaging system and record all lessons, giving you complete peace of mind.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor helps your child understand difficult topics, which naturally builds their self-belief. Seeing their own progress is a huge confidence booster that often helps them in other subjects too.
How are your tutors vetted?
We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is DBS checked, has their ID and references verified, and is interviewed by a member of our team to ensure they have the right subject expertise and a passion for teaching.
How long will my child need a tutor for?
There's no one-size-fits-all answer. Some students need a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss your child's goals with their tutor and decide on a plan that works for you.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we're experts in academic support for subjects like English and Maths, your child can also learn to play the guitar, get help with coding, or even learn a new language. It’s all about helping them pursue their passions.
