Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for a Stafford grammar school. Can a tutor help with the English paper?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience with 11+ preparation. They can help your child build confidence in key areas like comprehension, vocabulary, and creative writing, working through practice papers and targeting any areas where they need extra support.
We're worried about GCSE English grades for A-level choices and university applications to places like Keele. How can a tutor help?
This is a common concern, and our tutors are here to help. They can provide focused support on the GCSE English curriculum, from analysing set texts to mastering essay technique. They’ll work with your child to build their skills and confidence, which is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and check reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute chat to discuss your child's needs before you book. The most important thing is finding someone your child connects with and feels comfortable learning from.
What if we don't click with the 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 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 an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can join the platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to get one-to-one support from home.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to learning. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor's patience and encouragement can make a huge difference, helping your child see that they can succeed.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
A session is tailored to your child's needs. It might start with a quick review of the last lesson, then move onto a specific topic like analysing a poem, planning an essay, or working on grammar exercises. The tutor will adapt the lesson based on how your child is progressing.
How long will it be before we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and enthusiasm for the subject.
Can tutoring fit around our family's busy schedule?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You can arrange lessons for times that suit you and your child, whether that's after school, in the evening, or at the weekend, without having to worry about travel.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. From learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python, we can help your child explore their passions.
