asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is preparing for the 11+ for selective schools in the Barnet area. Can a tutor help?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are 11+ specialists with experience helping children prepare for entrance exams at specific schools. You can filter for tutors with this expertise and discuss your child's specific goals with them directly.

My daughter is studying A-Level English at a college in Barnet and wants to apply to a top university. Can we find a specialist?

Yes. We have many tutors who are subject specialists with degree-level qualifications and experience in helping students with their university applications. They can provide advanced support to help your daughter achieve the A-Level grades she needs.

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

You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child’s needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.

Can a tutor help if my child's confidence in English is low?

Definitely. This is one of the main reasons parents seek our help. A one-to-one tutor can create a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. Celebrating small wins and building on their strengths is key to boosting their confidence.

How do online lessons actually work?

Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.

My son is worried about his GCSE English grade. How much can tutoring help?

We know how much pressure GCSEs can put on students. Our tutors provide focused support that can make a real difference. In fact, our data shows that we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades.

What is the 'First Lesson Guarantee'?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How do you check your tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and verify their ID. We also require tutors to have an up-to-date DBS background check. With only 1 in 8 applicants accepted, you can be sure you're choosing from the best.

How often should my child have a tutoring session?

Most families find that one session a week works best, as it provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be discussed directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs and your schedule.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?

While we have tutors for all academic subjects from primary to degree level, we also offer a huge range of other skills! You can find expert tutors for everything from learning guitar and piano to coding languages like Python.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also see their confidence grow as they start to tackle topics they once found difficult. Our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews shows how much parents value the progress they see.
