Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to apply to a competitive sixth form like Esher College. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students prepare for entry into competitive sixth forms. They can focus on strengthening the specific analytical and essay-writing skills needed to make your child's application stand out, building their confidence for both exams and interviews.
We're aiming for a Russell Group university. How can an English tutor support this long-term goal?
Our tutors can help your child develop the advanced critical thinking and communication skills that Russell Group universities look for. Beyond just focusing on exam grades, they can help your child explore texts in greater depth, craft sophisticated arguments, and prepare a compelling personal statement that truly reflects their passion for the subject.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect 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 pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat to discuss your child's needs before you book. It's all about finding someone your child feels comfortable with.
How can tutoring help if my child is already doing well in English?
That's a great question. For students who are already achieving good grades, a tutor can provide the challenge and depth they need to excel. They can introduce more complex texts and ideas, refine essay technique to a higher level, and foster a genuine passion for the subject that will make them stand out in university applications.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and has had their ID and references verified before they can start teaching.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. 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.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
Every session is tailored to your child's needs. It might involve going over a tricky piece of homework, practising exam technique for an upcoming test, analysing a poem together on the whiteboard, or planning and structuring a high-level essay.
How long are the sessions and how often should my child have them?
Most sessions are an hour long, which we find is perfect for keeping students engaged. Most families choose to have one session per week, but you can arrange a frequency that works best for your child and your family's schedule directly with your tutor.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can start your search straight away. Many of our tutors can be available for a lesson within 48 hours, so you can get the support your child needs without delay.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects from the 11+ right through to degree level, we also have experts who can teach practical and creative skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, we can help you find the right tutor for them.
