Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at a competitive school like Tiffin or King's College School. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping students prepare for the demanding entrance exams for top grammar and independent schools. They can focus on developing the advanced comprehension, creative writing, and verbal reasoning skills your child will need to perform their best.
My child is at a great state school like Graveney but finds A-Level English a big step up. How can a tutor support them?
This is a very common challenge, and our tutors are perfectly placed to help. They can bridge the gap between GCSE and A-Level by working with your child on more sophisticated textual analysis, critical theory, and the techniques for writing university-level essays. It's all about building their confidence and skills to match the higher expectations.
My child needs help with their university personal statement. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, definitely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience guiding students through the UCAS application process. They can help your child structure their thoughts, showcase their strengths, and refine their personal statement to make it stand out to admissions tutors at competitive universities.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial for learning. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't feel the first tutor is the right match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors have introductory videos to give you a sense of their teaching style. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's specific needs before booking.
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, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and secure. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. When a tutor takes the time to explain difficult concepts in a way your child understands, those 'lightbulb moments' happen. This one-to-one attention in a safe, encouraging space helps them feel more capable and less afraid to ask questions in class.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child is different, but consistent, tailored support makes a real impact. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and engagement within just a few sessions. We know that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We also interview our tutors and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens! Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You can cancel or reschedule a lesson with your tutor, but we do ask that you give them at least 24 hours' notice as per our cancellation policy.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor on our platform.
