Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're preparing for the Kent Test. Can a tutor help with the specific English requirements?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ and Kent Test. They can focus on building the vocabulary, comprehension, and reasoning skills your child will need, helping them feel calm and prepared for the day.
My child is aiming for a place at Sir Roger Manley's or a Dover Grammar School. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes. You can filter tutors by their experience, including those who specialise in grammar school entrance exams. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals and find the perfect match for your family.
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 to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to building their confidence.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically starting from £15 an hour. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check or equivalent. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply to join our platform.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
A one-to-one tutor can make a huge difference. They create a safe and encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-esteem and a love for the subject.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's simple to use and means your child can learn from the comfort of home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour a week is ideal for steady progress, but it's completely flexible. You can discuss what’s best for your child directly with your tutor.
We're worried about GCSEs. What results can we expect?
We're proud that our support makes a real difference. For GCSEs, working with a Tutorful tutor can help improve your child's results by up to two grades, helping them secure the results they need for their next steps.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like creative writing?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to explore creative writing, learn to code, or even play the guitar, you can find an expert tutor to help them pursue their passion.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 quickly can we find a tutor and get started?
You can get started very quickly. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours, and you could have your child's first lesson booked for this week. Simply search, message a few tutors, and find the right one for you.
