Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're aiming for a place at Queen Elizabeth's or The Henrietta Barnett School. Can a tutor help my child with the English demands of the 11+?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced in preparing children for the 11+ and other competitive entrance exams. They can focus on the specific verbal reasoning, comprehension, and writing skills your child will need, building their confidence for exam day.

My child attends a local school like The Compton. How can a tutor ensure they keep up and excel?

A tutor can work alongside the school curriculum to reinforce what your child is learning in class. By focusing on any topics they find tricky, a tutor provides the extra time and attention needed to ensure your child feels confident and is able to participate fully in lessons.

How do I choose the right English As A Foreign Language tutor for my child?

It's a great idea to watch a few tutor introduction videos with your child and read through their profiles and parent reviews. You can send messages to tutors for free to ask about their experience, and many offer a free 15-minute chat to ensure they are the right fit before you book a lesson.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
