Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Do your tutors have experience with the Common Entrance (CE) exams?

Yes. Many of our tutors are specialists in preparing students for both the 11+ and 13+ Common Entrance exams set by the ISEB, as well as school-specific entrance papers. You can see their detailed experience on their profiles and discuss your target schools with them directly.

What happens if we don't get on with our tutor?

We want to ensure you find the perfect match for your child. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you're not completely satisfied after the first session, let us know. We'll find you another tutor and cover the cost of the first lesson.

My child needs help with Maths, but also interview technique. Can one tutor cover both?

Absolutely. Many of our Common Entrance tutors have broad experience covering core subjects as well as essential skills like interview practice and exam strategy. You can filter for tutors with specific skills or message them before booking to confirm they can meet all your child's needs.

How does online tutoring for Common Entrance work?

Our sessions take place in a secure online classroom with video chat, a shared whiteboard, and document sharing. It's a dynamic and interactive way to learn, allowing tutors to work through past papers, explain complex ideas, and provide instant feedback just as they would in person.

What subjects can a Common Entrance tutor cover?

Our tutors can cover the full range of Common Entrance subjects, including Maths, English, Science, French, Latin, History, Geography, and Religious Studies. They can also provide dedicated support for Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning.

When is the best time to start tutoring for the 11+ or 13+?

Most parents start looking for a tutor around 12-18 months before the exam date. This allows plenty of time to cover the syllabus thoroughly, identify and strengthen weaker areas, and build confidence without feeling rushed.

How do you vet your Common Entrance tutors?

We have a rigorous selection process and accept only 1 in 8 applicants. We verify their ID, qualifications, and tutoring experience, and every tutor must pass an interview to demonstrate their subject knowledge and teaching skills.

Can a tutor help with the ISEB Common Pre-Test?

Yes, many of our tutors are experienced in preparing students for the adaptive, online format of the ISEB Common Pre-Test. They can help your child become familiar with the question styles and develop strategies for timing and accuracy.

How much do Common Entrance tutors cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find an expert to suit your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile with no hidden fees.

How will a tutor track my child's progress?

Tutors use a combination of methods, including regular feedback during lessons, setting practice questions, and working through mock or past papers. They will keep you updated on your child's progress and the topics they are covering.

How many lessons will my child need per week?

This is entirely flexible and depends on your child's individual needs. Most students have one lesson per week per subject, but you can arrange more frequent sessions in the run-up to the exams if needed. It's something you can decide with your tutor.
