Expert Online English Tutors in Chatham to Help Your Child Thrive
We know how much pressure the Medway Test places on families in Chatham. When you see the high standards of local grammar schools like Sir Joseph Williamson's or Chatham Grammar, it’s natural to worry whether your child’s English skills are strong enough for them to succeed.
You might be concerned that their vocabulary, comprehension or creative writing needs a boost to tackle the tough verbal reasoning and writing sections. That's where one-to-one tutoring can make a real difference. It’s a partnership designed to build your child's confidence, target the exact areas they need help with, and give them the best possible chance to shine.

These skills will help your child confidently move on to college, university, and into a career where they can express their ideas and stand out.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child prepare for the Medway Test (11+)?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can create a focused plan to build your child's vocabulary, strengthen their reading comprehension, and develop their creative writing skills specifically for the demands of the Medway Test.
We're hoping for a place at Chatham Grammar or Sir Joseph Williamson's. Can we find a specialist tutor?
Yes, you can. When you search, you can filter for tutors with specific experience in grammar school entrance exams. Many list the schools they have successfully prepared students for in their profiles, so you can find someone who understands what's needed.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs, and you can even arrange a free 15-minute video chat to find the perfect fit before booking a lesson.
What happens if we don't get on with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from the best.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
My child really lacks confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. A one-to-one environment is perfect for building confidence. Our tutors create a friendly, encouraging space where your child can work at their own pace and ask questions freely, which often isn't possible in a busy classroom.
How quickly will we see an improvement in our child's work?
Every child learns differently, but the focused, one-to-one attention from a tutor can make a big impact quickly. By tailoring lessons to your child's specific needs, they can make progress much faster. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Is tutoring only for school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects, we also have experts who can help your child learn a new skill or hobby, like playing the guitar, coding in Python, or learning a new language.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are an hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths by discussing it with your tutor directly.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. Our tutors are happy to provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can message them at any time through the platform to discuss progress and agree on the best next steps for your child.
