Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're preparing for the 11+ for grammar schools in Southend or Colchester. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience in preparing children for the 11+ exam. They can help your child build confidence in key areas like comprehension, creative writing, and grammar, using practice papers and tailored exercises to get them ready for the day.

My child is hoping to go to USP College (Palmer's). Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE English grades?

Yes, we can definitely help. A strong GCSE English grade is often a key entry requirement for popular colleges. Our tutors can work with your child to close any knowledge gaps, improve their exam technique, and build their confidence. On average, we help students improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades.

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 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute video chat, which is a great way for you and your child to meet them and make sure it feels like a good match before booking a lesson.

How much does online English tutoring cost in Chadwell St Mary?

Our tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single UK-based tutor on our platform has undergone a background check before they can start teaching. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.

How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence?

Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where there are no silly questions. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they can help your child rebuild their self-belief and start to enjoy learning again.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.

How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?

Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session a week is a great starting point for consistent progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child with your chosen tutor.

Can I keep track of my child's progress?

Of course. The best way is to have a quick chat with the tutor. They can provide regular feedback on how your child is doing, what they've been working on, and the plan for future lessons. It's a team effort!

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, speak Spanish, or get started with coding, you can find expert tutors to help them explore their interests.

What happens in a typical first lesson?

The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about what they enjoy, what they find tricky in English, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed session designed to build a good relationship from the start.
