asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is hoping to study humanities at Durham or Newcastle. Can a tutor help with their application?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students with university applications. They can help your child develop their language skills to a high level and articulate their passion for Italian in their personal statement, making them a standout candidate.

Since Italian isn't taught in my child's school in South Shields, can they still work towards a formal qualification?

Yes, they can. Our tutors can help your child prepare for qualifications like GCSE or A-Level Italian as a private candidate. They can guide you through the syllabus, prepare them for exams, and help you find a local centre to sit the papers.

What if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure it's the right fit for your child. 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.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond core academics, your child can learn anything from coding and guitar to public speaking and creative writing. It’s all about helping them pursue their interests.

Most sessions are an hour long, but you can arrange different lengths directly with your tutor. It's flexible to fit what works best for your child's concentration and your family's schedule.

This is completely up to you and your child's goals. Most families start with one session a week, but you can schedule more frequent lessons during busy periods or less frequent ones for general support. You can discuss the best approach with your tutor.
