Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child with their application for the University of Bristol or Bath?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience in helping students with UCAS applications, including personal statement writing and interview preparation for competitive universities like Bristol and Bath. They can help your child articulate their strengths and stand out.
My child goes to Gordano School. Can a tutor work alongside their school curriculum?
Yes, our tutors are experts at complementing school-based learning. They can work in partnership with your child's school curriculum to reinforce topics, help with homework, and prepare for specific exams, ensuring their tutoring is perfectly aligned with their studies.
How do I find the right tutor in Portishead for my child?
It's easy! You can use our search filters to find tutors by subject, level, and price. Read their profiles, watch their intro videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can even message them for free before booking to ensure they’re the perfect fit for your child.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has undergone a thorough background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps them master tricky topics, which in turn builds their self-belief.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, starting from around £20 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget, and there are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring work? What do we need?
All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing.
Is tutoring just for A-Levels, or can my child learn other skills?
While we help thousands of students with academic subjects from Primary through to degree level, we also have expert tutors for hobbies and personal development. Your child can learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking Spanish.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The most common session length is one hour, which gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor to fit your child's needs and schedule.
Can we get help with 11+ or GCSEs as well as A-Levels?
Of course. We have specialist tutors across all key stages, including dedicated support for 11+ entrance exams and GCSEs. We can help your child at any stage of their learning journey.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also see their confidence grow as they start to feel more comfortable with their subject. Many parents tell us they see a positive change not just in grades, but in their child's whole attitude to learning.
