Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Gloucestershire 11+ exam for schools like Marling and Stroud High. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ exam, including the verbal reasoning and comprehension sections common in the Gloucestershire test. You can check tutor profiles for this specialism and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs.
Are the tutors familiar with the specific English curriculum taught in Gloucestershire schools?
While our tutors are based across the UK, they are all experts in the National Curriculum. Many have experience with the specific requirements of different exam boards and regions. The best way to find out is to read a tutor's profile and send them a message to ask about their experience with the local curriculum.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to explain your child's goals before booking. This helps ensure you find someone your child will connect with.
How much does online English tuition in Chalford cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship 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 are your tutors vetted and background-checked?
Your child's safety is our highest priority. Every tutor is interviewed by our team, has their ID and qualifications verified, and must provide a valid DBS check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. When a child has the full attention of a supportive tutor, they feel more comfortable trying new things and asking questions. This personalised encouragement is often the key to helping them feel more confident in the classroom and beyond.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and engaging. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for drawing and writing, and a tool for sharing documents. It has everything your child and their tutor need for a productive and fun lesson, all accessible from your computer or tablet.
How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most families find that one session per week is a great way to build momentum and make steady progress, but the frequency is completely up to you. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
Can a tutor help with specific texts, like Shakespeare or poetry for GCSE?
Definitely. One of the best things about private tuition is that it can be focused on specific challenges. If your child is finding Macbeth's language tricky or needs to understand the themes in a particular poem, a tutor can dedicate entire lessons to breaking it down in a way that makes sense to them.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
While we love helping with school subjects, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to mastering coding with Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest your child wants to explore.
Why should I choose Tutorful?
We're trusted by thousands of families across the UK. With over 4,100 customer reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, parents choose us for our high-quality, vetted tutors and our commitment to helping every child succeed. We've helped over 200,000 students find the perfect support for their learning goals.
