Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Transfer Test. Can I find a tutor with specific experience?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in entrance exams like the Transfer Test. You can check their profiles for experience in helping students prepare for entry into grammar schools like Down High School and St Patrick's, and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs.
We're thinking ahead to university. Can a tutor help with entry to Queen's University Belfast?
Yes. We have tutors who are experts in A-Level subjects and can help with university preparation, including personal statements and building the strong academic record needed for competitive courses at universities like Queen's.
How do I choose the best tutor for my child?
You can start by using our search filters to find tutors for the right subject and level. Reading their profiles and parent reviews gives you a great sense of their teaching style. We recommend messaging a few to find the perfect personality match for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is so important. 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 is identity and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How much does an online tutor in Downpatrick cost?

Most families start with one hour-long session per week. However, it really depends on your child's goals. It’s a good idea to discuss this with your chosen tutor, who can recommend a plan that works best for your child.

Not at all. While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects, we also offer support in everything from modern languages and science to practical skills like learning to play the guitar or coding.

Yes. The best way is to have a quick chat with your tutor, who will be happy to give you regular feedback on how your child is getting on. Open communication is a really important part of the process.
