Frances H
Frances has been helping my daughter with English and SPaG in preparation for her SATs and after just a few sessions, I’ve seen a difference. She sets weekly homework, takes a genuine interest in my daughter’s week and makes learning fun by playing games like hangman to aid spelling. My daughter is engaged and is starting to really grasp the content. Frances is patient, encouraging and explains things clearly, which has already boosted my daughter’s confidence.

We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're preparing for the Buckinghamshire 11+ for schools like Chesham Grammar. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ exam, including the verbal and non-verbal reasoning sections. You can read their profiles and message them before booking to find the perfect match for your child.
My child is worried about the verbal reasoning part of the 11+. Can we find a tutor who specialises in this?
Of course. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in 11+ preparation and have experience with the verbal reasoning component. They can help your child build their vocabulary, comprehension, and problem-solving skills in a targeted way.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
We make it easy to find the best fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos to get a feel for their personality, and read reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before you book a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right connection is. That's why we have 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.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant to ensure they have the right experience. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is seeing a child's confidence grow. Our tutors create a patient and encouraging environment where your child can learn at their own pace and feel safe to make mistakes, which is a huge part of learning.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Prices vary as tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience. The price is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It has all the tools needed for your child to have an engaging and effective lesson from the comfort of your home.
How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. The frequency is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Many families start with one lesson a week, but you can discuss the best plan with your chosen tutor.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is a great chance for the tutor to get to know your child. They'll chat about what your child enjoys, what they find tricky in English, and what their goals are. It's a relaxed session designed to build a good relationship from the start.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
How many other families use Tutorful?
You're in good company! We've helped over 200,000 students find the support they need to achieve their learning goals. We hope we can help your child too.
