Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child prepare for the Transfer Test for Portadown grammar schools?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ and Transfer Test preparation. They have experience helping children build the specific Maths and English skills needed, as well as developing their confidence and exam technique for schools like Portadown College.
My child hopes to study at Queen's University Belfast. Can you help with A-Levels?
Yes. We have a huge range of A-Level tutors who are experts in their subjects. They can provide the focused support your child needs to aim for the high grades required for competitive courses at institutions like Queen's University Belfast or Ulster University.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat to see if they are a good fit before you book a lesson. The most important thing is finding someone your child feels comfortable with.
How much does online tutoring in Portadown cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with school subjects from primary to degree level, we also have tutors for practical skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, we can help you find the right expert.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a background check. We are also very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in a subject?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their pace, tutors help rebuild self-belief one step at a time.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going. Seeing your child's confidence grow and their school results improve is often the clearest sign of success.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which we find is most effective for keeping students engaged. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens! We have a flexible 24-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can cancel or reschedule a lesson without being charged. You can manage all your bookings easily through your Tutorful account.
