Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can an online tutor specifically help my child with the CSSE English paper for Southend's grammar schools?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our English Language tutors have extensive experience helping students prepare for the 11+ and specific entrance exams like the CSSE. They can focus on the key areas, such as comprehension, inference, and creative writing, building both the skills and the confidence your child needs to perform at their best.

My child is worried about the competition for places at Westcliff High and Southend High. How can a tutor help?

We understand that pressure is a big concern. A great tutor does more than just teach the subject; they are a mentor who builds confidence. By working one-to-one, they can identify your child's specific anxieties, celebrate their progress, and show them they are capable. This boost in self-belief is often the key to navigating a competitive environment.

Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for English Language?

It really is. Our online classroom has interactive tools like a shared whiteboard and document editing, which are perfect for analysing texts and working on writing together in real-time. The focused, one-to-one environment, free from distractions at home, helps many students make even faster progress.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor we try?

Finding the right fit is the most important thing. We have a first lesson guarantee so you can feel confident. If you don't get on with your first choice of tutor 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.

How much do online English Language tutors cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15 an hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of demand. You can easily filter by price on our website to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.

How do I know the tutors are qualified?

We take quality very seriously. Every tutor on our platform is interviewed, background-checked, and vetted by our team. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best tutors the UK has to offer.

My child needs help with GCSEs, not the 11+. Can you help?

Yes. We have expert tutors for every stage of your child's education, from primary school and the 11+ right through to GCSEs, A-Levels, and even university-level study. You can find a specialist for the exact exam board and syllabus your child is following in Southend-on-Sea.

How flexible are the lesson times?

That's one of the best things about online tutoring. Our tutors offer lessons throughout the day, including evenings and weekends, to fit around busy family lives, school, and extracurricular activities. You can find a time that works perfectly for you.

What equipment does my child need to have an online lesson?

It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom runs directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to install.

Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than English?

We do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects. Whether your child needs support in maths or science, wants to learn a new language, or is interested in picking up coding or a musical instrument, we have a tutor who can help.

How are payments handled?

Payments are simple and secure. Your payment details are stored safely on your account, and you're only charged 24 hours after a lesson has been completed. There are no sign-up fees or contracts to worry about.

How long will it be before we see an improvement in our child's English?

Every child learns at their own pace, but the one-to-one attention from a private tutor often brings results quickly. Many parents tell us they see a change not just in their child's work, but in their attitude and confidence within just a few sessions.
