A solid grasp of algebra can lead to an A-Level in a STEM subject, while the ability to confidently analyse a quote from 'Macbeth' builds critical thinking skills valued by universities and employers alike. Getting these foundations right gives your child the best possible chance to secure a place at their chosen sixth form or college, setting them on the right path for their career.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're hoping for a place at a competitive school like Durham Johnston. Can a tutor help?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students strengthen their academic performance to meet the entry requirements for selective schools and sixth forms. They can focus on the specific subjects and skills your child needs to build their confidence and their application.

I'm worried my child's GCSEs won't be good enough for university. How can tutoring help?

This is a very common concern, and where one-to-one support can make a huge difference. Tutors can focus on boosting your child's predicted grades and final results – in fact, we can help improve GCSE results by up to two grades. This gives them a much stronger foundation and opens up more opportunities for their future, whether that's A-Levels or a place at a top university.

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

It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason it's not the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

Do you offer tutoring for subjects beyond the school curriculum?

We do! While we have experts in all core academic subjects, we also have tutors who can teach practical skills like coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, or even public speaking. It's a great way for your child to explore new interests and build confidence outside of school.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?

You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents just like you. You can filter by subject and level to find experts in what your child needs, and message them for free before booking to make sure they're a good match for your child's personality and learning goals.

How much does online tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. This transparency allows you to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.

My child has lost their confidence in a subject. Can a tutor really help?

Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. This personalised attention and positive reinforcement often leads to a big boost in self-belief.

How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict selection process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How do the online lessons work?

Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a two-way video call, an interactive whiteboard for solving problems together, and a way to share documents. It’s a simple, effective, and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most students have one lesson per week, as this consistency helps build momentum. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent sessions in the run-up to an exam, or less frequent lessons for general support. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your tutor.

What subjects can my child get help with?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, from Primary level Maths and English right through to A-Level Physics and university-level support. Whatever your child is studying, you're likely to find an expert who can help.

How can I be sure this will actually help my child's grades?

We're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. Our platform has helped over 200,000 students achieve their goals, and with over 4,100 customer reviews rating us 4.6 stars, you can feel confident you're making a great choice for your child.
