Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is preparing for the Kent Test for Dane Court. Can I find a specialist tutor?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for 11+ and grammar school entrance exams, including the Kent Test. You can check their profiles for this experience and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's needs.

Are your tutors familiar with the requirements for Kent grammar schools?

Many tutors specialise in entrance exams for specific regions. When you search, you can filter for 11+ specialists and read their profiles to see if they mention experience with the Kent Test or helping students gain places at local grammar schools.

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 check tutors' qualifications and experience on their profiles. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with.

How much does online English tutoring cost in Margate?

The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are set by the individual tutors and are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.

How can tutoring help my child build confidence for the exam?

One-to-one attention in a supportive environment makes a huge difference. When a child masters a concept they once found tricky, like verbal reasoning puzzles, their confidence soars. This positive reinforcement helps them feel less anxious and more capable.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must pass an ID check and have an up-to-date DBS or background check before they can teach on our platform. We also personally interview every tutor, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants.

How do the online lessons actually 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 a simple and effective way for them to learn from the comfort of home.

What happens if my child doesn't click with their 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.

Is it just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academics like English and Maths, you can find expert tutors for hobbies and skills like learning an instrument, coding, new languages, and much more.

How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's English?

Every child learns at their own pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that it's completely focused on their needs. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.

How is this different from the support my child gets at school?

Tutoring provides personalised, one-to-one attention that's hard to get in a busy classroom. A tutor can go over topics as many times as needed and tailor their teaching style specifically to how your child learns best.

How many lessons will my child need?

This is completely up to you and your child. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam like the Kent Test, while others have regular weekly sessions to build their skills over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
