Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades for Dereham Sixth Form or Wymondham College?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades they need for their chosen next steps. They can focus specifically on the GCSE English curriculum to target areas for improvement, helping to boost their final grade by up to two grades and strengthening their college applications.
My child is hoping to apply to UEA. Can an English tutor help with that?
Definitely. A strong command of English is vital for a competitive university application. A tutor can help your child develop the critical thinking and writing skills needed for A-Levels and beyond, as well as helping them craft a compelling personal statement that stands out.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. With over 4,100 reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, you're in a great place to find the perfect match.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, which includes an identity check and a background check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has 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 questions together.
Can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. This personalised encouragement helps them overcome learning barriers and grow in confidence.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have tutors for all core academic subjects, we also believe in learning for life! You can find expert tutors for a huge range of skills and hobbies, from learning an instrument like guitar to practical skills like coding in Python.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most tutoring sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. You can discuss the ideal lesson length with your tutor, as they can often accommodate different timings.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most parents find that a regular weekly lesson provides the consistency needed to make steady progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged with your tutor. You might want more sessions in the run-up to exams, for example.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
We understand that life can be unpredictable. Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You can cancel or reschedule lessons with your tutor, but please be sure to check their individual cancellation policy, which is usually 12 or 24 hours' notice.
