Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How do I choose 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 offer a short introductory chat to see if they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning style. It's all about finding someone your child feels comfortable with.
Can a tutor help my child with the English requirements for Coleg Gwent?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for further education colleges. They can focus on the specific skills your child needs to develop to secure their place on their chosen vocational course.
My child hopes to study at a Welsh university like Cardiff or Swansea. Can a tutor support their A-Level English journey?
Yes. We have many specialist A-Level English tutors who can provide in-depth support. They can help your child master complex texts, refine their analytical skills, and build the confidence needed to achieve the grades for top universities.
How much does online English tutoring 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, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. In fact, we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is important. 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 do online lessons 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 learn from the comfort of your home.
How can a tutor help my child's confidence?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can make a huge difference. By working at your child's pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps them see their own progress, which is a fantastic confidence booster.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like creative writing or public speaking?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! You can find expert tutors for music, coding, languages, and skills like creative writing to help your child explore their passions.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's English grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our focus is on building a strong foundation for lasting success. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence first, which is soon followed by an improvement in their results. It's why over 200,000 students have used Tutorful.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can message the tutor at any time to ask for updates. Tutors are always happy to share what they've been working on with your child and discuss the progress they are making.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life is busy, we get it. You can easily manage your schedule through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice if you need to make a change to a lesson.
