Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We live in Islington and are worried about the competition for sixth forms. Can a tutor help?

Yes, absolutely. A tutor can provide targeted support to help your child strengthen their GCSE performance, which is key for strong sixth form applications. They can focus on specific areas of the curriculum, improve exam technique, and build the confidence your child needs to stand out.

My child hopes to study at a London university like UCL or LSE. Can a tutor help with their A-Levels?

Definitely. Our tutors can provide the in-depth subject knowledge needed to achieve the top A-Level grades required by leading universities. They can also help your child develop the independent study skills and critical thinking that admissions tutors at places like UCL and LSE look for.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?

It's simple to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check qualifications on each tutor's profile. You can also message them before booking to discuss your child's needs and make sure it feels like a good fit.

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

We know that the right relationship is key to learning. 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?

Our 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. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you only pay for the lessons you book.

How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has been through a rigorous selection process, and we only accept 1 in 8 applicants. This includes an interview and a mandatory background check to ensure they are qualified, experienced, and safe to work with children.

My child's confidence has taken a knock. Can a tutor really help with that?

Yes. One-to-one tutoring creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By patiently working through problems and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-belief, which often has a positive impact across all their subjects.

How do online lessons actually work?

Our online classroom is designed to be as engaging as being in the same room. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for drawing and sharing notes, and the ability to upload documents like past papers or homework. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.

Do you offer tutoring for more than just core academic subjects?

We do! While we have experts in Maths, English, and Science, we also have talented tutors who can teach skills like coding, playing the guitar, learning a new language, or even preparing for a music theory exam. You can explore all our subjects on the site.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that a one-hour lesson per week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent sessions during exam periods or less frequent lessons for a general confidence boost. It's all based on your child's goals and your family's schedule.

How quickly will we see an improvement?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our focus is on building lasting understanding, not just quick fixes. With consistent sessions, you should start to see your child's confidence grow quickly, followed by improvements in their classwork and test results. It's why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.

What subjects and levels do you cover?

We offer tutoring for over 300 subjects, covering everything from Primary level phonics and SATs prep, through to GCSEs, A-Levels, and even university degree-level support. Whether it's for core subjects or more specialist topics, you can find an expert to help.
