Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ entrance exams, including the Bexley test. You can read about their expertise on their profiles and send them a message before booking to discuss your child's specific needs.
We're worried about the competition for places at local Woolwich secondary schools. Can a tutor help?
Yes. A tutor can help build the core English skills and confidence your child needs to perform at their best. By strengthening their reading comprehension, writing skills, and vocabulary, they will be better prepared for entrance assessments and ready to thrive in a competitive secondary school environment.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience. You can also send a message to a few tutors to ask how they would approach helping your child with their specific goals before you book a lesson.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
How do online lessons actually work?

Are your tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one to ensure they are the best of the best. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join us.
How can a tutor specifically help with reading comprehension?
A tutor can use targeted exercises and texts to help your child identify main ideas, understand context, and analyse language. They can work at your child's pace, patiently explaining difficult concepts and building their confidence in tackling complex passages.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be discussed with your tutor. You might choose more frequent sessions in the run-up to an important exam.
What results can we expect from English tuition?
Our goal is to help your child feel more confident and capable. While every child's journey is different, we're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one academic grade. For GCSE students, this can often mean an improvement of up to two grades.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn to code, play the guitar, master public speaking, or develop their creative writing, you can find a brilliant tutor to help.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in school?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in a busy classroom. As they start to understand difficult topics and see their skills improve, their self-belief often grows, which has a positive impact on their whole school experience.
