Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're preparing for the 11+ for Crossley Heath or North Halifax. Can we find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ exam, including the format and skills required for entry into selective grammar schools. You can view their profiles and even message them to ask about their experience with the Calderdale 11+ before booking.
My child is struggling with English comprehension. Is this a common issue for the Calderdale 11+?
It's a very common area for children to need extra support. The comprehension sections of the 11+ can be challenging, and a tutor can work with your child on specific techniques to decode texts, understand vocabulary in context, and answer questions accurately, building their confidence for the exam.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send messages to tutors to find the perfect match for your child's personality and learning needs. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £55 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every single one. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space makes a huge difference. When your child has a tutor dedicated to helping them, they feel more comfortable asking questions and working through challenges. Celebrating small wins in each lesson helps build their self-belief over time.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. 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 long will it take to see an improvement in my child's skills?
Every child learns at their own pace, but regular, focused sessions can make a noticeable difference quite quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few lessons.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
A tutor will tailor the lesson to your child's needs. It could involve working through tricky homework, practising 11+ exam questions, analysing poetry for GCSEs, or focusing on essay writing skills. The session is always interactive and focused on your child's goals.
Can tutoring help with GCSE and A-Level English too?
Definitely. We have a huge range of tutors who specialise in supporting students through their GCSEs and A-Levels, helping them understand set texts, improve their writing, and prepare effectively for their exams.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like creative writing?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects, we also have tutors who can help your child explore hobbies and develop new skills, from creative writing and public speaking to learning a musical instrument or coding.
