Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a grammar school in Kingston or Sutton. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are experienced in helping children build the specific comprehension, creative writing, and verbal reasoning skills needed to perform well in these competitive entrance exams.
Are the tutors familiar with the specific entrance exams for schools near Chessington?
While our tutors are based across the UK, you can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in 11+ or Common Entrance exams. You can also read their profiles and reviews from other parents to find the perfect match for your child's goals.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a great idea to watch tutors' introductory videos and read reviews from other parents. You can message them before booking to discuss your child's needs, whether it's for 11+ preparation or GCSE support. Finding someone your child connects with is key.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or extra costs to worry about.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe space for your child to ask questions without the pressure of a full classroom. As they start to understand difficult topics and see their skills improve, their self-belief and confidence often grow significantly.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to discuss how things are going and to review the topics covered in each session.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. Tutors tailor each session, whether that involves working through past 11+ papers, analysing a poem, or practising essay technique.
How are your tutors vetted?
We take your child's safety very seriously. We interview every tutor and carry out thorough background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English and Maths, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. Your child could learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking Spanish.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to install.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which most families find works perfectly. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your tutor to find a schedule that best suits your child's concentration and your family's routine.
