Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child hopes to apply to Selby College for A-Levels. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grade?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and know exactly what's needed to secure the grades for top local sixth forms like Selby College. They can help your child focus on specific areas, from exam technique to understanding marking criteria, to give them the best possible chance of success.

We're aiming for a competitive course at the University of York. How can an English tutor support this long-term goal?

That's a fantastic goal. A strong English A-Level is often a prerequisite for top universities like York. A tutor can build a solid foundation at GCSE and continue to support your child through their A-Levels, helping them develop the advanced analytical and writing skills needed for a successful university application and their future degree.

What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is identity and background checked. We also interview them to assess their expertise and teaching style. We're very selective – we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply – so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend looking for a tutor with experience in the specific area your child needs help with, whether that's GCSE exam preparation or creative writing. You can also message tutors beforehand to make sure they're the right fit.

How much does an online English tutor cost in Sherburn-in-Elmet?

Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone to suit your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.

How can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence in English?

Yes, this is one of the most important things a tutor can help with. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they can rebuild your child's self-belief and help them enjoy the subject again.

How does online tutoring actually work? What do we need?

It's simple! All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing to make learning engaging and effective.

How quickly can my child see an improvement in their English grades?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored, one-to-one approach is designed for progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence within just a few lessons. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve their grades by at least one level.

How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?

Most sessions are an hour long, which is usually perfect for keeping concentration levels high. We typically recommend one session a week to build momentum, but you and your tutor can agree on a frequency that best suits your child's needs and your family's schedule.

What topics within English can a tutor cover?

Our tutors can cover the full English curriculum. This could be anything from analysing a specific poem or novel for their GCSEs, like 'An Inspector Calls', to mastering grammar and punctuation, improving essay structure, or even helping with creative writing skills.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?

While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a wide range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor on Tutorful.
