Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at a Buckinghamshire grammar school. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English paper?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are experienced with the requirements for competitive grammar schools. They can provide targeted support in key areas like verbal reasoning, comprehension, and creative writing to help your child feel confident and prepared for the exam.
My child is at a comprehensive in Towcester. Can a tutor help them get top GCSE grades for A-Levels?
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. An English tutor can work with your child on specific texts, exam techniques, and essay writing skills to help them aim for the highest grades. For GCSEs, we can help improve your child's results by up to two grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications on their profile. You can also send a message to a tutor before booking to discuss your child's needs and see if they are a good fit. It’s all about finding someone your child connects with.
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 personally interview them to verify their expertise and teaching ability. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit 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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a secure and engaging space for your child to learn one-to-one with their tutor.
Will online tutoring really help my child's confidence?
Yes. One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor creates a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Celebrating small wins and overcoming challenges together is a fantastic way to build their self-belief.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like English and Maths?
Not at all! While we have experts in all core academic subjects, we also have talented tutors who can teach a huge range of skills, from learning to play the guitar or speak a new language to coding in Python.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find a regular weekly session works best for building momentum and making steady progress. However, there's no commitment, and you can book lessons as frequently as you feel your child needs them.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is usually a chance for the tutor to get to know your child and understand their learning style, strengths, and the areas they find tricky. It's a relaxed session focused on building a good relationship and setting some goals together.
