Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child wants to apply to a Russell Group university like Leeds or York. Can a tutor help with that?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are experienced in helping students develop the advanced analytical and writing skills needed for competitive university applications. They can help your child prepare for their A-Levels and craft a personal statement that stands out.

We live near a competitive grammar school area in Yorkshire. Can we find a tutor experienced with entrance exams?

Yes, you can. You can filter our tutors by experience, including those who specialise in 11+ and entrance exam preparation for specific schools. They can help your child build the core English skills and exam techniques needed to feel confident and prepared.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

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

You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Think about your child's specific needs – do they need help with essay writing, understanding Shakespeare, or exam confidence? You can message tutors before booking to make sure they're the perfect fit.

My child has lost their confidence in English. How can a tutor help?

This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a supportive, encouraging space where your child feels safe to ask questions and make mistakes. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child’s self-belief.

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 contracts.

How do you make sure tutors are safe for my child to learn with?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS background check. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

Can tutoring really improve my child's grades?

Yes, it can make a real difference. The focused, one-to-one attention helps students overcome specific hurdles and build a deeper understanding of the subject. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.

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 way to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, allowing your child and their tutor to focus on learning.

Is tutoring just for school subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.

How often should my child have a lesson?

This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Many families find a one-hour lesson each week works well for consistent progress, but you can arrange sessions more or less frequently to fit your schedule and your child's needs.

What if we need to cancel a lesson?

We understand that life happens! You can easily manage your schedule through the platform. Our cancellation policy is flexible, but please try to give your tutor at least 12 hours' notice if you need to reschedule a lesson.
