Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child hopes to get into Beauchamp College. Can a tutor help them achieve the necessary GCSE grades?

Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the high grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific essay-writing skills required for key GCSE subjects, helping to improve your child's results by up to 2 grades and strengthening their application.

We're aiming for a competitive course at the University of Leicester. Can a tutor prepare my child for that level of essay writing?

Definitely. Many of our tutors are experienced in coaching students for university-level work. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and critical thinking skills needed to write compelling essays for A-Levels, which provides a strong foundation for the demands of a degree at a top university.

How do I choose the right essay writing tutor for my child?

It's easy to find the perfect match on our platform. You can use filters to find tutors with specific experience, such as GCSE English or A-Level History. We recommend reading their profiles, checking their qualifications, and looking at reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors beforehand to make sure they're a good fit for your child.

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

We know how important the right connection is for learning. 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 much does an essay writing tutor in Leicester cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, which typically start from around £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.

How can online tutoring help my child build confidence?

One-to-one online lessons provide a safe and encouraging space for your child to ask questions without the pressure of a classroom. This personalised attention helps them understand difficult topics at their own pace, and seeing their skills improve is a huge confidence booster.

Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one to ensure they are of the highest quality. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.

Is this just for academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?

While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a wide range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or master a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you updated on your child's progress. You'll be able to see their confidence grow and their grades improve. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going.

How long does a typical tutoring session last?

Most tutoring sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to suit your child's needs.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has all the tools needed for an interactive lesson, including a whiteboard and document sharing.

Can tutoring help with specific subjects that require essays, like History or English Literature?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our essay writing specialists also have expertise in specific subjects. They can help your child not only with their writing structure but also with understanding the content, from analysing poetry in English Literature to constructing an argument for a History A-Level.
