Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for the University of Southampton. Can a tutor help with their personal statement?

Absolutely. Many of our Essay Writing tutors have extensive experience helping students craft compelling personal statements that stand out. They can help your child structure their ideas and articulate their passion for their chosen subject, which is a crucial part of the UCAS application process.

We want to secure a place at a competitive sixth form like Barton Peveril or Peter Symonds. Can we find a specialist?

Yes. You can filter tutors by their experience and specialisms. Many have specific expertise in helping students make the step up to A-Level and meet the standards required by highly-regarded sixth forms. You can read reviews from other parents to find the perfect match.

How do I choose the right Essay Writing tutor for my child?

It’s a great question. We recommend watching tutors' introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also read detailed reviews from other parents and send a message to a tutor before booking to discuss your child's specific needs.

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

We know that the right fit is crucial 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 can a tutor help my child move from GCSE to A-Level writing?

A tutor can specifically focus on bridging that gap. They work with your child on moving beyond descriptive writing to developing critical analysis, building complex arguments, and using evidence to support their points – all key skills needed to achieve top grades at A-Level.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can start teaching.

How much does online Essay Writing tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can easily filter by price on our website to find a great tutor who fits your budget.

How do the online lessons work?

Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child and their tutor can work together on essays in real-time, just as they would in person.

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

While we cover all academic subjects, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills! From learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python or improving public speaking, we're here to support all of your child's learning interests.

How can tutoring build my child's confidence?

Often, a lack of confidence comes from not knowing where to start. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down tasks and celebrating small wins, they help your child see their own progress, which is a huge confidence booster.

Can a tutor help with specific exam techniques for A-Level English or History?

Yes, this is a very common reason parents seek a tutor. Our tutors can help your child understand mark schemes, practise planning essays under timed conditions, and learn how to structure their answers to meet the specific requirements of the exam board.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

The most common session length is one hour, which gives enough time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor to best suit your child's needs and schedule.
