Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is applying to competitive sixth forms in West London. Can a tutor help their application stand out?

Absolutely. A tutor can help your child articulate the advanced critical thinking and analytical skills they've gained from General Studies, turning it into a real strength on their personal statement and in interviews. This can make a big difference in a competitive field.

We're aiming for a top London university like Imperial or LSE. How can General Studies tutoring support this?

Top universities want students who can think critically and debate complex issues. Our tutors focus on developing these exact skills. They'll help your child practise constructing robust arguments and analysing information, which is excellent preparation for university-level study and the admissions process.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like public speaking or coding?

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! You can find expert tutors for skills like coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, public speaking, and much more. It's a great way to support your child's hobbies and interests.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?

You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding the right personality fit for your child.

How much does online tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and subject, so you can easily find a fantastic tutor who fits your family's budget.

How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?

Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one lesson, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement. As they start to master tricky topics and see their skills improve, their self-belief naturally grows.

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, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.

How does online tutoring work? Is it effective?

It's very effective and simple to use. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It allows the tutor to work with your child just as they would in person, but with the added convenience of learning from home.

Can a tutor help with specific exam techniques?

Yes, this is a key area where our tutors can help. They can work with your child on everything from time management and essay planning to understanding mark schemes, giving them the tools and strategies to perform their best in exams.

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 school holidays or in the run-up to exams, whatever works best for your child.

What if we need to reschedule a lesson?

That's no problem at all. We have a flexible 24-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can reschedule your lesson for a more convenient time without any charge.
