asked questions

Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE grades needed for Bolton Sixth Form or Runshaw College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and have a great track record of helping students secure the grades they need for competitive colleges. They can focus on specific subjects, work on exam technique, and build your child's confidence to help them perform at their best.
My child hopes to study at the University of Manchester. Can a tutor help with A-Levels?
Yes. We have a fantastic range of A-Level tutors who can provide in-depth subject support to help your child achieve the grades needed for top universities. Many can also offer guidance on study skills and preparing for the step up to degree-level learning.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask any questions and make sure they're the perfect fit for your child.
How much does tutoring in Westhoughton 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 experienced tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have a valid DBS check or equivalent and undergo a rigorous vetting process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
My child is losing confidence. Can a tutor really help with that?
Yes, 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 fear of judgement. This personal support often leads to a big boost in confidence that makes a real difference in the classroom, too.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We want you to be 100% happy. With our first lesson guarantee, 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.

Most families find that one hour-long session per week is ideal for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You can discuss what’s best for your child's goals directly with your chosen tutor.
Is this just for school subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects from primary school through to university, we also offer support for hobbies and personal skills. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar or piano to coding in Python.
Can I speak to a tutor before I book a lesson?
Of course. We encourage you to use our free messaging service to chat with tutors before you commit. It’s a great way to discuss your child’s needs, ask about their teaching approach, and make sure you’ve found the perfect match.
