Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is preparing for the Berkshire 11+ exam. Can I find a tutor with experience in this?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation, including the specific verbal reasoning and comprehension skills needed for the Berkshire exam. You can use our search filters to find tutors with proven experience in helping children succeed in their grammar school entrance exams.

We're aiming for a top grade in GCSE English at a school like The Willink. Can a tutor help?

Definitely. Our tutors can provide targeted support for the GCSE English curriculum. They can help your child deepen their understanding of set texts, improve their essay writing, and master the exam techniques needed to secure a grade 7 or above, opening up more options for their A-Levels and university applications.

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

The best way is to look at their profile videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. Many tutors offer a free introductory chat, which is a great opportunity for you and your child to meet them and see if it's a good fit before booking a lesson.

How do you make sure tutors are safe to work with children?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must pass an interview and have their ID verified. We also require them to hold an up-to-date background check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Tutor prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications, but you can easily see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.

What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is 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 tutoring help my child build confidence in English?

One-to-one lessons provide a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As they start to grasp difficult concepts and see their skills improve, their confidence naturally grows, which often has a positive impact on their work in the classroom too.

What kind of improvement can we really expect?

While every child learns at their own pace, our personalised approach gets results. 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade, and our data shows we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades.

How do the online lessons actually work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection. It's simple, secure, and effective.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that one lesson a week works well for consistent progress. However, you have the flexibility to schedule more sessions during busy times, like just before exams, or less frequently if you prefer. It's completely up to you and your tutor.

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

While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have experts who teach music, languages, coding, and much more. It's a great way for your child to explore a new hobby or develop a new skill.

How quickly can we get started?

You can get started right away. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to check their availability, and you could be having your first lesson in the next day or two. It's a quick and easy way to get your child the support they need.
