Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form like Harrogate Grammar. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the high grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific exam techniques and subject knowledge required to help your child secure a grade 7, 8, or 9 in their English GCSEs.
We're hoping for a Russell Group university like Leeds or York. How can an English tutor support this?
A strong English GCSE is the first step. A tutor can help your child build the foundational analytical and essay-writing skills that are essential for A-Levels and university-level study. This ensures they are not just prepared for their exams, but for the academic challenges ahead.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and a teaching style that will click with your child.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our platform to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know 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 are your tutors vetted?
We take safety and quality very seriously. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every applicant. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can feel confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics, like Shakespeare, into manageable steps, which helps build self-belief and a more positive attitude towards the subject.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have thousands of academic tutors, we also offer support in a wide range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor on our platform.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons are tailored to your child's needs. A session might involve working through a tricky piece of homework, practising essay plans for an upcoming exam, or analysing a poem together using the interactive whiteboard. It's always focused on what will help your child make the most progress.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that consistent tutoring makes a real impact. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The personalised attention helps them grasp concepts more quickly than in a busy classroom.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE English texts?
Yes, many of our English tutors are specialists in the GCSE curriculum and can provide expert guidance on specific set texts, whether it's 'An Inspector Calls', 'Jekyll and Hyde', or the poetry anthology your child is studying.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and diagrams, and a document editor for working on essays together. It's designed to make online learning as engaging and effective as possible.
