Most of my students achieve excellent examination results and I believe that this is due to my experience both as a teacher and as a GCSE Examiner.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're aiming for a place at Wirral Grammar School. Can I find a tutor with 11+ experience?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have experience helping children with the specific requirements for competitive grammar schools. You can use our search filters to find tutors with this expertise and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's needs.

Does it matter that the tutor isn't physically in Birkenhead?

Not at all. The benefit of online tutoring is that you get access to the very best tutors from across the UK, not just those who live locally. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists. All lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, so your child gets dedicated, face-to-face support from the comfort of home.

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

We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

Is this just for school subjects, or can you help with other skills?

We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find experienced tutors on our platform.

How much does an English tutor cost?

Tutor prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find a brilliant, experienced tutor who fits your family's budget.

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

We make it easy to find the perfect match. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to ensure you find someone you're both comfortable with.

Can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?

Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a supportive and encouraging environment where your child can work at their own pace without fear of making mistakes. Rebuilding that self-belief is often the first step to seeing their grades and enjoyment improve.

What happens in a typical online lesson?

Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom, which includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might work through past exam papers with your child, help them plan an essay, or use fun exercises to improve their reading comprehension. Every lesson is tailored to what your child needs most.

How do you make sure tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must all provide a valid DBS check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from the best. With over 4,100 reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, you can feel confident in your choice.

How often should my child have a lesson?

This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most families start with one hour-long session per week. You can easily discuss and agree on a schedule that works for you directly with your chosen tutor.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also message your tutor at any time to ask questions or discuss their progress. Many parents tell us they see a big difference not just in their child's work, but in their overall confidence towards the subject.

What levels of English do you cover?

Our tutors cover all levels of English, from building foundational reading and writing skills at Primary school and preparing for the 11+, right through to GCSE, A-Level, and even degree-level study. Whatever stage your child is at, we have a specialist who can help.
