Frances H
Frances has been helping my daughter with English and SPaG in preparation for her SATs and after just a few sessions, I’ve seen a difference. She sets weekly homework, takes a genuine interest in my daughter’s week and makes learning fun by playing games like hangman to aid spelling. My daughter is engaged and is starting to really grasp the content. Frances is patient, encouraging and explains things clearly, which has already boosted my daughter’s confidence.

We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Buckingham and are preparing for the 11+. Can I find a tutor with specific experience in this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping children prepare for the 11+ exam, including the verbal reasoning and comprehension sections. You can read tutor profiles and message them directly to ask about their specific experience with entrance exams for schools like the Royal Latin School or Aylesbury Grammar School.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in Buckinghamshire schools?
While our tutors are based across the UK, they are all experts in the National Curriculum. Many have specific experience with the requirements for grammar school entrance exams common in Buckinghamshire. You can filter for tutors with this experience and discuss your child's specific school curriculum in your first session.
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 for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. 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 to make sure you feel confident in your choice.
How can online tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor celebrates small wins and helps them see their own progress, which is a huge confidence booster. Many of the 200,000+ students who have used Tutorful tell us their confidence grew as much as their grades.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has undergone a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
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 transparency allows you to find a brilliant tutor who also fits your family's budget.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space for sharing documents. It’s easy to use and means your child can learn from a top tutor anywhere in the UK, right from your home.
Do you only offer help with school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also believe in learning for life. You can find experienced tutors for a whole range of skills, from learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish to coding in Python.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are an hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss session length with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration span.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. We encourage open communication between parents and tutors. You can message your tutor at any time to ask for updates, and they will often provide feedback after each session on what was covered and how your child is getting on.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
We understand that life happens! You can easily manage your lesson schedule through your Tutorful account. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or change a session time.
