Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Blackburn College. Can a tutor help them meet the GCSE entry requirements?
Absolutely. Many parents in Rishton use our tutors to help their children secure the GCSE grades needed for competitive local colleges. A tutor can identify and focus on the specific areas your child needs to improve, helping them build the skills and confidence to achieve their target grades.
We're hoping for a place at a university like Manchester or Lancaster. How can tutoring support this goal?
Our tutors can be a huge help. For A-Level students, they can provide in-depth subject knowledge that goes beyond the classroom, strengthening your child's understanding and helping them achieve the high grades needed for top universities. They can also assist with university application preparation, including personal statements and interview practice.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
On our platform, you can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience and qualifications. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs and make sure they’re a great fit before committing to a lesson.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, which includes an identity check and an enhanced DBS background check, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, the subject, and the level of study. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits within your budget.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence?
Confidence is key to learning. Our tutors create a patient and encouraging environment where your child feels safe to make mistakes and ask questions. By breaking down difficult topics into manageable steps and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild your child’s self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for drawing and sharing notes, and a document editor. Your child and their tutor can work through problems together in real-time, just as they would in person.
Is it just for core subjects like Maths and English, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects, your child can also learn a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or even practical skills like coding and public speaking. There's something for every interest.
How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which we find is perfect for maintaining focus. Most families opt for one session per week per subject, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child's needs and your family's routine. It's completely flexible.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes, of course. We encourage open communication. You can message your child's tutor at any time to ask for updates, and tutors will often provide feedback after each session on what was covered and how your child is getting on.
What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring companies?
We focus on finding the perfect match for your child. We're incredibly selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child learns from the best. With over 4,100 reviews and a 4.6-star rating, parents trust us to deliver personalised, high-quality tutoring that makes a real difference.
