Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to get into Colyton Grammar School. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. While we can't guarantee entry, our tutors are experts at building the core English skills and confidence your child needs to perform at their best. They can focus on strengthening comprehension, analytical skills, and writing clarity, which are vital for sitting entrance exams or securing a place at a competitive school.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for A-Levels at Exeter College?
Definitely. A tutor can be a fantastic support in bridging the gap between GCSE and A-Level English. They can help your child master the more advanced textual analysis and independent thinking required for their A-Level studies, ensuring they start their courses at Exeter College feeling prepared and confident.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
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 – would they benefit from someone calm and patient, or someone energetic and engaging? Finding the right match is key to their success.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest hurdle. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor's focused encouragement and celebrating small wins can make a huge difference to how your child feels about their own abilities.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How much does an online English tutor in Seaton cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices typically start from around £15 per hour and vary based on the tutor's experience and level of demand. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. Your child and their tutor can work through texts, edit essays, and practice exam questions together in real-time, just as they would in person.
My child finds analysing poetry really difficult. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is a very common challenge and a perfect example of how one-to-one tutoring helps. A tutor can dedicate entire sessions to breaking down poems, exploring literary devices, and building a simple, effective method for analysis until your child feels comfortable tackling it on their own.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Most lessons are one hour long, and most families choose to have one session per week. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and your family, whether that's more frequent lessons leading up to an exam or fortnightly top-ups.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. The biggest sign, though, is often seeing your child's confidence grow. When they start contributing more in class or tackling homework without the usual struggle, you'll know it's working.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're well known for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we have tutors for hundreds of subjects! Your child can learn anything from a new language or a musical instrument like the guitar, to practical skills like coding.
