Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is worried their A-Level choices won't be strong enough for London universities. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Our tutors can provide expert subject-specific support to help your child excel in their chosen A-Levels. Many can also offer valuable guidance on building a strong UCAS application and personal statement that effectively showcases their skills and ambitions to competitive universities.
We live in Hackney. Are the tutors familiar with the London university application process?
Yes, many of our tutors are graduates from top UK universities, including those in London, and are very familiar with the competitive application process. They can share practical advice and insights that can help your child feel more prepared and confident.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience on their profile. You can also send them a message before booking to make sure they're a good fit for your child’s personality and learning style.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has an up-to-date DBS background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
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.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own hourly rates, and you can easily filter your search by price to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor's patient guidance and positive reinforcement help your child understand difficult topics, which naturally builds their self-esteem and belief in their own abilities.
Is this just for academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of areas! Beyond core subjects like Maths and English, your child can learn practical skills like coding, a new language, or even how to play the guitar. It's a great way to support their hobbies and interests too.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your tutor.
Can a tutor help with specific exams like A-Levels or GCSEs?
Yes, many of our tutors are specialists in exam preparation. They can help your child with revision techniques, exam strategies, and past paper practice to help them feel fully prepared and confident on exam day. For GCSEs, we can help improve results by up to 2 grades.
What kind of results can I expect?
While every child's journey is unique, our focus is on making a real difference. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. With over 4,100 customer reviews and a 4.6-star rating, you can feel confident you're making a great choice for your child's education.
