Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Iveshead School. Can a tutor help them secure a place at Loughborough College?
Yes, absolutely. Many parents share this goal. Our tutors can focus specifically on the critical analysis and essay-writing skills needed to achieve the higher GCSE English grades that competitive sixth forms look for. They can tailor sessions to build your child's confidence and academic performance.
We're aiming for Loughborough University one day. How can an English tutor help now?
Building strong English skills at the GCSE level is the perfect foundation for A-Levels and university applications. A tutor can help your child develop the sophisticated analytical and communication skills that top universities value, setting them on the right path for future 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 discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding a great personality match for your child.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. 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 online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is interviewed and has their ID and background checked before they can join our platform. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How much does an online English tutor cost in Shepshed?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. You can see each tutor's rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget with no hidden costs.
How quickly will I see my child's confidence improve?
Many parents tell us they see a change in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Having a dedicated, supportive expert to ask questions and practise with can make a huge difference to how they feel about a subject.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Lessons are typically one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. You can discuss the best lesson length for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or music?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning an instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and public speaking, you can find a brilliant tutor to support your child's hobbies and interests.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. The best way is to have regular chats with your tutor. They can provide feedback on your child's progress, highlight areas where they are excelling, and discuss the plan for upcoming sessions.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying for lessons is simple and secure. Your payment details are stored safely on your account, and you are only charged 24 hours after each lesson is complete. You can easily manage everything from your Tutorful dashboard.
