Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend looking through tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and teaching style. Reading reviews from other parents is also a great way to get a feel for them. You can message tutors for free before booking to make sure they're the right fit for your child's needs.
My child is preparing for the 11+ entrance exam for schools like Bishop Vesey's. Can we find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience with 11+ and entrance exam preparation. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in this area and have a proven track record of helping children in the Sutton Coldfield area succeed.
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. This transparency allows you to find a brilliant, highly-rated tutor that fits within your family's budget.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We understand that finding the right personality match 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.
My daughter is studying A-Levels at Sutton Coldfield College. Can a tutor help with her specific curriculum?
Definitely. Our A-Level English tutors are experts in the curriculum and can provide targeted support for the specific texts and exam boards your daughter is studying. This one-to-one attention can be invaluable for tackling complex A-Level topics and refining exam technique.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard for writing and sharing ideas, and a space to upload documents like essays or worksheets. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from home.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy to ask in class. A great tutor celebrates small wins and patiently explains tricky concepts until they click, helping your child feel capable and much more positive about the subject.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check (or equivalent) before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something else?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding or a new language to playing the guitar or mastering public speaking.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and what works best for your child. Most families find a regular weekly session is ideal for building momentum and confidence, but you can arrange lessons as frequently as you need, especially in the run-up to exams.
What happens if we need to reschedule a lesson?
We know that family life can be hectic. You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, as per our cancellation policy.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's English?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and attitude towards English after just a few sessions. Academic progress builds steadily over time with regular, focused support.
