Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can an online tutor really help my child with applications for competitive schools like Tiffin or Kingston Grammar?

Absolutely. Competition for these schools is intense. Our online tutors, many of whom are experts in entrance exams and interview preparation, can provide the specific, high-level coaching needed to stand out. They focus on developing the critical thinking and analytical essay skills that selectors are looking for, giving your child a tangible edge.

My child is aiming for a Russell Group university. How can online History tutoring help them succeed?

A Russell Group application requires more than just good A-Level grades; it requires intellectual curiosity and sophisticated analytical skills. From your home in Kingston-upon-Thames, your child can work online with tutors who may be graduates of those same universities. They can help your child develop a deeper understanding of historiography and craft a personal statement that demonstrates a genuine passion for the subject.

How does online tutoring actually work? Is it effective?

It's very effective and simple! Your child connects with their tutor via video call in our online classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard. They can share essays, analyse sources, and have a focused, one-to-one conversation. It offers all the benefits of in-person tutoring plus the huge advantage of accessing top specialists from anywhere in the UK, right from your home in Kingston.

Are your tutors qualified to teach History to a high level?

Yes. We pride ourselves on our rigorous selection process—we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Many of our History tutors are subject-specialists with degrees from leading universities, qualified teachers, and even examiners. You can view each tutor's full profile, including their experience and qualifications, before you book.

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

Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we completely understand that. That's why we have our 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 the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

How much do online History lessons for a student in Kingston-upon-Thames cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can filter tutors by price on our website to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.

My child also needs help with English. Can we find a tutor for that too?

Of course. We offer expert online tutoring in over 300 subjects, from core academics like English, Maths, and Sciences to languages, music, and even coding. You can find a specialist tutor to support every aspect of your child's education on our platform.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most of our students have one session per week, as this provides consistency and momentum. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You might want to increase the frequency in the run-up to exams or interviews. You can discuss and agree on the perfect schedule directly with your chosen tutor.

Can a tutor help my child connect their learning to Kingston's local history?

While our tutors are UK-wide, many are skilled at making history relevant to a student's surroundings. They can certainly help your child explore topics like the crowning of the Saxon kings in Kingston or the history of nearby Hampton Court Palace, using these local examples to build broader historical skills and understanding.

Do we need any special equipment for online lessons?

Not at all. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download. It's designed to be simple and intuitive to use.

How do you ensure tutors are safe to work with children?

Your child's safety is our highest priority. Every single tutor on our platform must have a valid DBS check (Disclosure and Barring Service) and provide professional or academic references before they can start teaching. We verify every tutor to ensure you have complete peace of mind.

My child also needs help with English. Can we find a tutor for that too?

This is a partnership. Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development, highlighting areas of improvement and focusing on next steps. You'll be able to see their confidence grow as they start to master tricky concepts and articulate their ideas more clearly in their schoolwork.
