Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for St Olave's or Newstead Wood. Can I find a tutor with 11+ experience?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in preparing children for the 11+ and other competitive entrance exams. You can use the search filters to find tutors with this specific experience and read their profiles to see how they've helped other families in Bromley achieve their goals.
My child is at a Bromley secondary school. Can a tutor help them get top GCSE grades for a competitive sixth form?
Definitely. A dedicated GCSE English tutor can focus on the specific requirements of your child's exam board, helping them with everything from essay structure to text analysis. Our data shows we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades, which can make a huge difference when applying for popular sixth forms.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Finding the right person is key. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check tutors' qualifications on their profiles. You can also send a message to a tutor before booking to discuss your child's needs and see if they're a good fit.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on the tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. When a tutor tailors lessons to their specific needs, your child starts to experience small, regular successes, which is one of the best ways to build lasting confidence.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has an up-to-date DBS or background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also have experts who can help your child learn a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or even skills like coding.
How long is a typical lesson?
The standard lesson length is one hour, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
How many lessons will my child need?
This completely depends on your child's goals. Some students just need a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others benefit from weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss this with your tutor who will be happy to recommend a plan.
What if our family schedule is already really busy?
That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. There's no travel time involved, and you can find tutors with availability in the evenings or at weekends to fit around school, clubs, and family life. You can filter tutors by their availability to find a time that works for you.
