Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
The local schools in Wantage are very competitive. Can a tutor help my child aim for the top grades (7-9)?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Wantage come to us. Our tutors are experienced in helping students move from a pass to achieving the highest grades. They can focus on the specific skills needed to excel, such as advanced analysis and sophisticated essay writing, to give your child the edge they need.
My child hopes to apply to a competitive university like Oxford or Reading. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes. While our tutors primarily focus on subject-specific knowledge for exams like GCSEs and A-Levels, many are also experienced in helping with university applications. They can assist with personal statement writing and interview preparation, providing invaluable guidance for competitive entries.
How do I find the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find a great match. You can use our search filters to find tutors with experience in the right area, whether it's GCSE exam prep or creative writing. You can read their profiles, watch their intro videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors for free to find the one your child will connect with best.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit for your child. 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 is designed to be simple and effective. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space to share documents. Your child and their tutor can work through exam papers, analyse texts, and practice writing together, just as they would in person.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has undergone an enhanced DBS background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
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, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and adapt their teaching style, which helps your child feel capable and much more confident.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we are experts in academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish to coding in Python, there's a talented tutor for almost any interest.
Can a tutor help with specific exam boards like AQA or Edexcel?
Yes, definitely. Many of our tutors specify which exam boards they have the most experience with on their profiles. This is a great way to ensure your child is getting support that's perfectly tailored to the specific curriculum and exam style they will face.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long. We find this is the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can start very quickly. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can message them directly to arrange your first lesson. Many tutors have availability within the next few days, so you can get the support your child needs without delay.
