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're preparing for the 11+ in Buckinghamshire. Can a tutor help with the specific requirements for schools like Dr Challoner's?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test. You can browse tutor profiles to find those who specialise in 11+ preparation and even mention their familiarity with the entrance requirements for specific grammar schools.
My child is worried about the verbal reasoning part of the Buckinghamshire 11+. Can tutors specialise in this?
Definitely. Verbal and non-verbal reasoning can be tricky, and a tutor can provide targeted practice and techniques to build your child's confidence. You can use our search filters to find tutors who explicitly state they have experience with verbal reasoning for 11+ entrance exams.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can message tutors for free to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child will respond to.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can set your own budget using the search filters on our site. All pricing is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can join our platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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 can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-esteem and foster a genuine enjoyment for the subject.
Can a tutor help with GCSE English as well as the 11+?
Yes. Many tutors cover a wide range of levels from primary school right through to A-Level and beyond. A tutor who helps your child through the 11+ can often continue to support them as they move into secondary school and prepare for their GCSEs, providing valuable continuity.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a document editor. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your own home.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's work?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and a more positive attitude towards their studies.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something else?
While we cover all core academic subjects, we also have brilliant tutors for hobbies and life skills. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, get better at chess, or try their hand at coding, we have experienced tutors who can help them explore their passions.
What happens in a typical one-to-one English lesson?
A typical lesson is tailored to your child's needs. It might start with a quick review of the previous session's topic, then move onto a new concept, like how to structure an essay or analyse a poem. Tutors use interactive exercises and examples to keep your child engaged and ensure they understand.
