asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for Torquay Girls' Grammar School. Can we find a tutor experienced with grammar school expectations?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students meet the high academic standards of selective schools. You can view each tutor's profile to see their background and experience, and even message them before booking to discuss your child's specific goals.
We're hoping for a place at a Russell Group university like Exeter. Can a French tutor help with that?
Yes, they can. A strong A-Level in a language like French can be a real asset on a UCAS application. Our tutors can help your child secure the GCSE and A-Level grades they need, and also build the independent study skills that are so important for university-level learning.
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 for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something else?
While we're here to help with core subjects like French, Maths, and English, we believe in learning for life! We have expert tutors who can teach a huge range of skills, from learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python.

Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience, so you can find someone to suit your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, and you can use our search filters to find a great tutor in your price range.
