Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a grammar school in Kent, like Highworth or Norton Knatchbull. Can a tutor help with the Kent Test?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ and the Kent Test. They can focus on key areas like reading comprehension, vocabulary building, and verbal reasoning to help your child feel confident and ready for the exam.
My child finds verbal reasoning really tricky. Can I find a specialist tutor in Ashford?
Yes. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in 11+ preparation and verbal reasoning. You can also read tutor profiles and reviews from other parents to find the perfect match for your child's needs.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, as a positive relationship is key to building their confidence.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, starting from £15 per hour. Prices vary based on a tutor's experience and qualifications, so you can easily find an expert who fits your budget.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you have the best experience. 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.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, there are no silly questions. A tutor can go over topics at your child's pace, celebrating small wins and building their self-belief until they feel ready to tackle any challenge.
What if my child needs help with a specific text, like 'Macbeth' for their GCSEs?
That's a perfect use for a tutor. They can provide focused support on specific curriculum areas, whether it's analysing Shakespearean language, understanding poetic techniques, or structuring a high-scoring essay.
How long does it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach gets results. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Consistent weekly lessons are often the best way to see steady, confident progress.
Is this just for academic subjects, or could my child learn something creative like music or a new language?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academics, you can find expert tutors to help your child learn skills like coding, play the guitar, or even speak Spanish. It's a great way to support their hobbies and passions.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying for sessions is easy and secure. You add your payment details to your account, and we only process the payment 24 hours after a lesson is complete. This gives you time to check everything was as expected.
