Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a top Russell Group university like Bristol or Exeter. Can a tutor help with this?

Absolutely. Our English tutors can provide targeted support to help your child develop the high-level analytical and essay-writing skills that these universities look for. They can help with A-Level preparation, exam technique, and even offer guidance on crafting a compelling personal statement that makes their application shine.

Competition for A-Level places in Somerset is high. Can a tutor help my child get the top GCSE grades (7-9)?

Yes, this is exactly where one-to-one tutoring can make a huge difference. A dedicated tutor can focus on the specific areas your child needs to improve to reach those higher grades. By working on advanced texts and exam techniques, they can help boost your child's results by up to two grades.

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

We make it easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. You can also send a message to a tutor before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

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

We want to make sure your child feels comfortable and supported. 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 much does an online English tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. This transparency allows you to find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.

How do online lessons actually work?

Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, a shared whiteboard, and document sharing. It's a secure and interactive space where your child can work directly with their tutor, just as they would in person.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?

One-to-one lessons provide a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors can break down difficult topics, like understanding poetic devices, into manageable steps and celebrate their progress, which helps build self-belief.

Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like English?

Not at all! While we help thousands of students with core subjects from the 11+ to degree level, many also use Tutorful to learn new skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language.

How often should my child have a lesson?

This is completely flexible and depends on your child's needs. Many families find a weekly one-hour session works well for consistent progress, especially when preparing for exams like GCSEs or A-Levels. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

The most common session length is one hour, which gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor to suit your child's concentration and your family's schedule.

What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?

We understand that life can be busy. You can easily manage your schedule through our platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice if you need to change a lesson time, as this is part of our fair cancellation policy.
