Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child has their heart set on Durham Sixth Form Centre. Can a tutor help with that?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the GCSE grades needed for competitive post-16 providers. They can focus on the specific subjects and grade boundaries required, building both your child's knowledge and their exam confidence.

We live in Hetton-le-Hole. Are the tutors local?

Because all our tutoring is online, your child can connect with the very best tutors from across the UK, not just those nearby. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists, including examiners and teachers with specific experience in helping students aim for top universities like Durham and Newcastle.

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

We know that the right fit is essential. 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 do I pick the right tutor for my child?

You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals to make sure they're the perfect match.

How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, and every UK-based tutor undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a DBS background check. You can have complete peace of mind.

How much does online tutoring cost?

Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level, so you can find someone who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

How does online tutoring actually work?

Lessons take place in our secure online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s an engaging and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one attention in a supportive environment makes a huge difference. Tutors can break down tricky topics, celebrate small wins, and adapt their teaching style to your child. This personal approach helps them feel more capable and less anxious about their studies.

Is tutoring only for core school subjects like Maths and English?

Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for all academic subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get ahead with coding in Python, or learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that a one-hour lesson per week for each subject is effective, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and their tutor, whether that's more frequent sessions ahead of exams or fortnightly check-ins.

Can a tutor help with specific exam boards like AQA or Edexcel?

Yes. Many tutors have experience with specific exam boards and mention this on their profiles. They understand the curriculum, assessment objectives, and exam techniques needed to help your child succeed with their particular qualification.

What results can I expect for my child?

While every child learns differently, our goal is to help them feel more confident and make real progress. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, we often see students improve by up to two grades, which can make a huge difference to their future options.
