Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a school like Emanuel or Harris Academy. Can we find a tutor with 11+ experience?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in preparing children for the 11+ and other competitive school entrance exams. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in this area and read reviews from other parents who had similar goals.
We live in Battersea, but how does online tutoring work if the tutor isn't local?
The great thing about online tutoring is that you're not limited to tutors in your immediate area. This gives you access to the best tutors from across the UK. All lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which has a whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing, making it feel just like they're in the same room.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
We make it easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check a tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit for your child. 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 do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we personally interview them to assess their expertise. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in great hands.
How can tutoring help my child with their GCSE English exams?
Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child feel confident and prepared for their GCSEs. They can focus on specific areas, from analysing poetry to mastering essay technique. This extra support can make a huge difference, with our data showing we can help improve GCSE results by up to two grades.
My child has lost their confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is very common, and it's where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. By working at your child's pace and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild that self-belief.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices are set by the individual tutors and vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can see the price per hour clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons are tailored to your child, but they are always interactive. A tutor might use the online whiteboard to break down an essay structure, work through a practice comprehension paper together, or analyse a poem line-by-line. It's a collaborative and engaging experience.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to download.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at a different pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that it's focused entirely on their needs. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or music?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts in core academic areas like English, Maths, and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for hobbies and skills like learning the guitar, coding in Python, or even public speaking.
