Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can a tutor help my child prepare for the English part of the 11+ for Essex grammar schools like KEGS?

Yes, absolutely. We have many experienced tutors who specialise in 11+ preparation. They can create a tailored plan for your child, focusing on the specific comprehension, creative writing, and verbal reasoning skills required for the Essex grammar school entrance exams, helping to build their confidence for the big day.

We're worried about the GCSE English Language grade needed for competitive sixth forms in Essex. Can a tutor focus on that?

Definitely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Essex come to us. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can work with your child on specific areas, from exam technique and essay structure to analysing unseen texts, to help them secure the grade they need for their chosen next step.

Is online tutoring really as effective as having someone visit our home in Essex?

We find it's even more effective for many families. Online tutoring removes geographical barriers, giving your child access to a much wider pool of specialist tutors from across the UK. It also offers incredible flexibility, saves on travel time, and allows your child to learn in a comfortable, familiar environment where they feel at ease.

How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?

We're very selective because we know how much trust you're placing in us. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed by our team, and has proven subject expertise to ensure your child is learning from the best.

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

Finding the right personality match is so important. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

My child finds English really boring. Can a tutor help with motivation?

Yes, a great tutor can make a world of difference. By connecting the subject to your child's interests—whether that's video games, music, or sport—they can make learning feel relevant and exciting. They can turn a subject they dread into one they genuinely look forward to.

How much do online English Language lessons for a student in Essex cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15 per hour. 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.

Do you offer tutoring in other subjects besides English?

We do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from maths and science to music, coding, and modern languages. Whatever your child needs support with, we're here to help you find the right person for them.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has all the tools they'll need, including an interactive whiteboard, right in their web browser.

Can we get help with the specific exam board my child's school in Essex uses?

Yes. Our tutors have experience with all the major UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. You can see which boards a tutor specialises in on their profile, ensuring the support your child receives is perfectly aligned with what they're learning in school.

How many sessions a week do you recommend?

Most students have one session per week, as this provides consistency and allows them to build momentum without feeling overwhelmed. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule with your tutor that works for your child's needs and your family's timetable.

My child is interested in creative writing, not just exam skills. Can a tutor help with that?

Absolutely! Many of our English tutors are passionate writers themselves and love nurturing a child's creative spark. They can help your child develop their storytelling skills, explore poetry, or simply build confidence in their own creative voice, completely separate from exam pressures.
