Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to go to Exeter College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE grades?
Absolutely. Many parents in Dawlish share this goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades they need for college. They can create a targeted revision plan for your child's GCSEs, focusing on weak spots and building exam technique. We know how much these results matter, and our data shows we can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to two grades.
We're considering the 11+ for grammar schools in Torbay. Can a tutor help my child prepare?
Yes, we have many specialist tutors who can support your child with 11+ preparation. They can build a programme that covers all aspects of the exam, from verbal and non-verbal reasoning to Maths and English, helping your child feel calm and confident on the day.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask questions before you book. It's a great way to get a feel for their teaching style and personality to make sure they're a good match for your child.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right fit is the most important thing. 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 all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has undergone a thorough background check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child just needs a laptop or computer with a microphone and a stable internet connection.
How much do tutors in Dawlish cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and the subject level. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
Can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor can create a safe and encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. Rebuilding that self-belief is often the first step towards seeing real academic progress.
Is tutoring only for core academic subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all. While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects, we also have experts who can teach everything from modern languages and music to practical skills like coding or playing the guitar. It's a great way for your child to explore a new passion.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our experience shows that consistent, weekly lessons deliver the best results. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The key is the regular, personalised support that helps concepts stick.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's goals. Some students just need a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others benefit from ongoing weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
What if we need to change or cancel a lesson?
We understand that life can be unpredictable. Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You can rearrange or cancel a lesson with your tutor, but please be sure to give them at least 12 hours' notice.
