Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is worried about their GCSEs for getting into a good local sixth form. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. Our tutors can help your child target the specific grades they need for their chosen sixth form, focusing on weak areas, improving exam technique, and building their confidence. We know how much GCSE results can impact the next steps, and our tutors can help them get there.

We're hoping for a competitive London university. Can we find tutors with experience in this?

Yes, many of our tutors are graduates from top UK universities, including those in London. They have first-hand experience of the application process and the academic standards required. They can help your child with A-Level content and also provide valuable insights into what it takes to secure a place at a competitive university.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our 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 the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

Do you offer tutoring for skills beyond school subjects, like coding or learning a musical instrument?

We do! While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects like Maths, English and Science, we also have experts who can teach practical and creative skills like coding, Python, guitar, piano, and even singing. It's a great way for your child to explore a new hobby or passion.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?

You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience on their profile. You can also message tutors before booking to ask any questions and make sure they're a good match for your child's personality and learning needs.

How much does online tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £45 depending on their experience and the subject level. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

Can a tutor really help my child's confidence?

Yes, this is often the biggest change parents notice. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Celebrating small wins and overcoming challenges with a supportive tutor can have a huge positive impact on their self-esteem.

How do the online lessons work?

Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a document-sharing tool, so it's just like being in the same room. Your child just needs a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.

How do you make sure your tutors are safe and professional?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and they must have a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best, most trusted professionals.

How quickly can we start lessons?

It's very quick. You can search for a tutor, send them a message, and arrange your first lesson in just a few clicks. Many tutors can start within a day or two, depending on their availability.

How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?

Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session per week is a great way to build momentum and see consistent progress, but you can arrange whatever frequency works best for you and your child with your tutor.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is getting on. You can also message them at any time to ask for an update. Many parents tell us they see a change not just in their child's grades, but in their whole attitude towards a subject.
