Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a place at Elthorne Park. Can a tutor help them prepare?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students strengthen their core skills in reading, writing, and comprehension to feel more confident and prepared when applying for competitive secondary school places.
We're considering grammar schools in neighbouring boroughs. Do you have tutors experienced with the 11+ English exam?
Yes. We have many tutors who specialise in 11+ preparation. They can help your child get to grips with the specific requirements of the English exam, from building a stronger vocabulary to mastering creative writing and comprehension techniques.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a session to make sure you find the perfect match.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £20 to £50 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the right fit for your child. If 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 can a tutor help my child with their GCSE English?
A tutor provides focused, one-to-one support on the exact topics your child finds tricky, whether it's Shakespeare or unseen poetry. This personalised attention can make a huge difference – we can even help boost your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are from the UK and have been through a rigorous selection process, including identity and background checks. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence?
A one-to-one lesson is a safe space for your child to ask questions without the pressure of a full classroom. As they start to understand difficult topics and see their skills improve, their confidence in their own abilities grows naturally.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week works best, as it provides consistency and builds momentum. However, the schedule is completely flexible and you can arrange sessions with your tutor as often as you feel your child needs them.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard lesson length is one hour. This gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. You can discuss different session lengths with your tutor if needed.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects, we also have amazing tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or speak a new language, we can help.
