Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Islwyn High and wants to apply to Coleg Gwent. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE grades?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Pontllanfraith come to us. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the GCSE grades they need for their chosen A-Level or BTEC courses. They can focus specifically on the topics and exam skills that will make the biggest difference.
We're hoping for a place at a top Welsh university like Cardiff or Swansea. Can tutoring help with that?
Yes. A tutor can provide vital support through the A-Levels that are the gateway to competitive university courses. By helping your child master their subjects and achieve higher grades, a tutor can significantly strengthen their UCAS application and help them reach their goal.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and filter by subject and experience. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. This helps you find someone your child will really connect with.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and personally vetted by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a true subject expert.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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, but you can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments, so you can book lessons as and when you need them.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child to learn and collaborate with their tutor just as they would in person.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one attention makes a huge difference. In a lesson with just their tutor, your child has a safe space to say 'I don't understand' without feeling embarrassed. This allows them to tackle difficulties head-on, build genuine understanding, and see that they are capable of succeeding.
Is it just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have expert tutors who can teach practical skills like learning the guitar, coding in Python, or even public speaking.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today. Simply search for your subject, find a tutor you like, and send them a message to arrange a first lesson. Many tutors can start within a few days, providing support for your child almost immediately.
Do we have to commit to a certain number of lessons?
Not at all. We believe in flexibility. You can book lessons one at a time or arrange a regular weekly slot with your tutor. There are no contracts or sign-up fees, so you are always in control.
How long are the lessons?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which we find is most effective for keeping students engaged. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
