Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is hoping to apply to Barnsley College. Can a tutor help with that?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students secure the GCSE grades needed for specific college courses. They can focus on the key skills and exam techniques required to meet the entry requirements for places like Barnsley College.

We live in Wath-upon-Dearne. Are the tutors local?

Our tutors are based all across the UK and lessons are held online. This gives your family the best possible choice of expert English specialists, rather than being limited to who lives nearby. Your child can connect with a top tutor from anywhere, right from your home in Wath-upon-Dearne.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.

What if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure it's the right fit for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your 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 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 without fear of judgement. Tutors can break down complex topics into manageable steps, celebrating small wins along the way and helping your child see that they are capable of succeeding.

How much does online English tutoring cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. 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 contracts.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a background check. We are also very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

How do the online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection. It's simple, secure, and designed for learning.

Do you only offer academic subjects like English?

Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects from primary school through to university, we also offer support for hobbies and professional skills. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, coding, or even a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that a one-hour session per week is ideal for making steady progress. However, you can arrange a schedule that works for your child with their tutor. You might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to exams, for example.

What results can I expect from English tutoring?

Our goal is to help your child feel confident and achieve their best. We have a great track record, with 90% of students improving by at least one grade. For GCSE English students, our tutors can help them improve by up to two grades, which can make a significant difference to their future options.

Can a tutor help my child with their university application?

Yes, many of our English tutors are experienced in supporting students with their UCAS applications. They can provide valuable guidance on writing a compelling personal statement that stands out, helping your child secure a place at universities like Sheffield Hallam or their first choice.
