Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

It's easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have to say. Many tutors also offer a free chat before you book, giving you a chance to discuss your child's needs and see if it's a good fit. With over 4,100 reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, you're in safe hands.

My child attends Saffron Walden County High School. Can a tutor support their specific curriculum?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in supporting students with the specific texts and exam board requirements used in local schools like Saffron Walden County High School. You can mention your child's school in your initial message to a tutor to find someone with the right experience.

We're considering grammar schools in Essex. Can I find a tutor experienced with the 11+ English exam?

Yes, we have many tutors who specialise in 11+ preparation. They have a deep understanding of what's required for the Essex grammar school entrance exams and can help your child build the core English skills and confidence needed to perform their best.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of expertise, but you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget. The cost is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden surprises.

What happens in an online tutoring session?

Our online classroom is designed to be engaging and interactive. Your child and their tutor can talk using video chat, share files, and work together on an interactive whiteboard, just as they would at a real desk. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn.

How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?

One-to-one attention in a safe, supportive space can do wonders for a child's confidence. They can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, work at their own speed, and celebrate small wins with their tutor. This personalised encouragement helps them feel much more capable and positive about the subject.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is 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.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How often should my child have lessons?

This is completely up to you and what works best for your child. Most families find a weekly session is ideal for building momentum, but you can arrange lessons as often as you like. You can discuss the best approach with your tutor.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we're here to help with academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also have amazing tutors for a huge range of other skills! Your child can learn anything from coding and playing the guitar to a new language. It's all about helping them pursue their passions.

How quickly will we see an improvement in our child's English?

Every child learns at their own pace, but the personalised focus of one-to-one tutoring often leads to progress quite quickly. The goal is to build a solid foundation and lasting confidence, which is a journey you and the tutor take with your child. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.

What happens if we need to reschedule a lesson?

Life can be busy, and we understand that plans change. You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson through our platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, as per our cancellation policy.
