Lina H
Professional and inspiring English and English tutor
Maths is usually the subject students struggle with most at school mainly due to the lack of individual help during lessons. Students often don’t ask for help when faced with a topic they find hard and so they develop gaps in their learning, which in itself become problematic later on. In my opinion the first objective of private tutoring in maths should be to systematically deal with those gaps, which are usually identified within the first couple of lessons. Once the gaps are covered, we can then proceed to cover the necessary course material based on individual requirements.I have extensive e...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form like Mossbourne. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in helping students develop the advanced analytical and writing skills needed to achieve the top 8 and 9 grades. They can help your child build the confidence and technique to produce work that really stands out in a competitive application process.
We're thinking ahead to universities like UCL or LSE. How does GCSE English tutoring help?
Top universities look for excellent communication and critical thinking skills, and strong GCSE English grades are an early indicator of this ability. A tutor helps build this core foundation, which is crucial for success at A-Level and for crafting a compelling UCAS personal statement later on.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, check their experience, and see ratings and reviews from other parents just like you. Many tutors also offer an introductory message so you can chat about your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding the right personality match for your child.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents and past papers. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply. All tutors must have a valid DBS check or equivalent background check before they can teach on our platform.
My child really lacks confidence in their writing. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. They can help break down difficult tasks and celebrate small wins, which is fantastic for building confidence.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to find the perfect match for your child. If the first lesson isn't quite right, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most parents find that a one-hour lesson once a week works well, but it's completely flexible. You can discuss what's best for your child's goals and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. The personalised attention from a tutor often helps students make progress much faster than in a classroom setting. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects?
No, we offer a huge range of subjects and skills! From coding and learning a musical instrument like the guitar, to preparing for the 11+ or getting support with a university degree, we have expert tutors who can help your child explore their passions.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life is busy, we get it. You can easily manage your schedule through the platform. Most tutors have a 24-hour cancellation policy, but you can confirm the details directly with them when you book.
