Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at a competitive Berkshire grammar school like Reading School or Kendrick School. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ and entrance exam preparation. They can help your child build confidence, master key parts of the English curriculum, and develop the exam techniques needed to perform their best under pressure.
My child wants to study a humanities subject at a Russell Group university. Can a tutor help them stand out?
Definitely. A-Level English requires a high level of analytical and essay-writing skill. A specialist tutor can help your child develop the sophisticated arguments and critical thinking that top universities are looking for, giving them a real advantage in their application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's 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.
How much does an online English tutor in Berkshire cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor who also fits your family's budget.
How do you ensure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and personally interviewed by our team. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted and capable expert.
How can a tutor help my child with their GCSE English results?
A tutor can make a significant difference. By focusing on your child's specific needs, they can help them overcome challenges and build confidence. In fact, our data shows that Tutorful can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
My child has lost confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic way to rebuild confidence. In a supportive, patient environment, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, work at their own pace, and start to see what they are truly capable of.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, a shared whiteboard, and the ability to upload documents. It's an interactive and engaging way to learn from the comfort of home.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set number. It depends entirely on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly lessons. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support for a huge range of other interests. Your child could learn to code, play the guitar, or even speak a new language with one of our expert tutors.
How do I know this works? What do other parents say?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students achieve their goals. We have a rating of 4.6 stars from over 4,100 customer reviews, which you can read to see what other parents think of their experience with our tutors.
