Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for A-Levels at Whickham School. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for competitive sixth forms. They can focus specifically on the skills needed to achieve a grade 6 or higher in GCSE English Language and Literature, giving your child the best possible chance of securing their place.
Can a tutor help strengthen my child's English skills for a future application to a competitive university like Durham or Newcastle?
Yes, definitely. The analytical and communication skills developed with an English tutor are exactly what Russell Group universities look for. Tutors can help your child learn to articulate complex ideas and build strong arguments, which is vital for both their personal statement and future undergraduate study.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can easily browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat so you and your child can meet them before booking a lesson to ensure it's a good fit.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
We take your child's safety very seriously. Every tutor is background-checked and has to pass a rigorous application process. In fact, we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, and you can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Can tutoring help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor builds a supportive relationship where your child feels safe to ask questions and make mistakes. This often leads to a huge boost in their confidence in the classroom.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed for progress. With consistent weekly lessons, many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few weeks.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Your child's tutor will tailor each lesson to their specific needs. A session might involve working through a tricky piece of homework, practising exam technique for an upcoming test, or focusing on a specific area like analysing Shakespearean language or structuring a persuasive essay.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different like coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English and Maths, you can also find experts in everything from coding and guitar to modern languages and music production.
Are lessons one-to-one?
Yes, all our lessons are one-to-one. This means your child gets the tutor's full, undivided attention, allowing them to focus entirely on your child's learning goals and adapt the lesson to their pace.
