Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to King Edward VI in Stafford. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many parents in Staffordshire use our tutors to help their children meet the entry requirements for specific sixth forms and colleges. A tutor can create a focused plan to tackle the exact areas of the English curriculum your child needs to strengthen, building their skills and confidence ahead of their exams.
We're thinking ahead to universities like Keele or Staffordshire. How can an English tutor help now?
That's a great way to think. A strong GCSE English grade is the foundation for the A-Levels that universities look for. A tutor can help your child secure that grade, opening up more A-Level choices and keeping their options open for competitive university courses in the future.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple to find a great match on Tutorful. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a lesson to make sure you've found the perfect fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right connection is. 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.
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 teach on our platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does an online English tutor in Staffordshire cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, with prices typically starting from £15 per hour. The price often reflects their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work through everything from essays to exam papers together, just as they would in person.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which helps your child feel more positive and capable in the subject.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of amazing academic tutors, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language for fun, we have a tutor who can help.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which most students find is the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths by discussing it directly with your chosen tutor.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first session is usually about getting to know your child. The tutor will chat with them about their goals, what they enjoy (and don't enjoy!) about English, and identify the areas where they need the most support. It's a relaxed way to build a plan for future lessons.
Can tutoring help with specific parts of the English exam?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. If your child needs to improve their creative writing, poetry analysis, or exam timing, their tutor can create lessons that focus entirely on mastering that specific skill for exam success.
