Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is hoping to apply to the University of Exeter. Can a tutor help with that?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with their university applications, including personal statements and preparing for specific A-Level grades needed for universities like Exeter or Plymouth. You can find tutors with this specific experience by checking their profiles.

We live quite remotely in Cornwall. Does online tutoring really work as well as in-person?

Yes, and for many families, it works even better. Online tutoring removes geographical barriers, giving your child access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those nearby. Our interactive online classroom has tools like a whiteboard that make lessons engaging and effective, all from the comfort of your home.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?

You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat before you book, so you can make sure they're a great fit for your child's personality and learning needs.

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

We know how important the right fit is. 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.

Are your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

How can tutoring help my child with their GCSEs?

A dedicated tutor can make a huge difference. They can help fill in any knowledge gaps, build exam technique, and boost your child's confidence going into their exams. On average, we help students improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades.

How much does online tutoring cost in Cornwall?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. This transparency allows you to find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.

How does the online lesson actually work?

It's simple! Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, a shared whiteboard, and a space to upload documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a microphone, a camera, and a stable internet connection.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

Often, a lack of confidence comes from not understanding a topic. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. As their understanding grows with their tutor's patient guidance, their confidence naturally follows.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more sessions in the run-up to an exam, or fewer during school holidays. You can discuss the best frequency directly with your tutor.

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

While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like Maths, English and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language.

How quickly can I find a tutor?

You can find and book a tutor in just a few minutes. Simply search for your subject, browse the profiles of available tutors, and send a message to the one you think is the best fit. Many of our 200,000+ happy students have found their perfect tutor the very same day.
