Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We live in South-East London and are aiming for a Russell Group university like LSE or King's. Can a tutor help with that?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students develop the advanced critical analysis and sophisticated argument-building skills that top universities look for. They can help your child elevate their writing from GCSE level to what's expected for A-Level success and competitive university applications.

My child's school has very high standards. Can a tutor help them keep pace?

Yes, a tutor is a great way to help your child feel more confident and less overwhelmed. Whether they're at a competitive grammar in Bromley or Bexley, or an independent school, a tutor can provide a safe space to ask questions, review tricky topics, and build the skills needed to meet and exceed expectations.

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 read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking your first lesson to ensure a great fit.

How much does an online Essay Writing tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £60 per hour. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.

Are your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed by our team and must have a valid DBS check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

What happens in a typical online Essay Writing lesson?

Every lesson is tailored to your child. A session might involve brainstorming ideas for an upcoming assignment, using the interactive whiteboard to deconstruct a model essay, or getting live feedback on a piece of their own writing. The focus is always on your child's specific learning needs.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one support can make a huge difference. In a private lesson, your child can ask questions they might be shy about in class. By working with an expert who celebrates their progress and patiently explains difficult concepts, they start to see what they're capable of, which is a massive confidence booster.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we offer a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first 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 often should my child have tutoring?

Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works best for consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent lessons during exam periods or less frequent top-up sessions as needed – it's entirely up to you and your tutor.

Can online tutoring really improve my child's grades?

Yes, it really can. Personalised, one-to-one attention helps your child tackle the specific areas they find difficult, leading to real breakthroughs in their understanding. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.

How long are the online lessons?

The standard lesson length is one hour, which we find is perfect for covering a topic in depth without your child losing focus. You can, however, discuss arranging longer or shorter sessions directly with your tutor if needed.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we offer expert support for academic subjects from the 11+ right through to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or learning a new language.
