Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Colindale and are aiming for a grammar school like Queen Elizabeth's. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can create a tailored plan for your child focusing on the key areas for selective school entrance exams, such as advanced reading comprehension, creative writing, and expanding their vocabulary.
My child is considering a top London university. Can an English tutor help with their UCAS application?
Definitely. A strong personal statement is crucial for university applications. Our English tutors can help your child structure their thoughts, articulate their ambitions clearly, and polish their writing to make sure their application stands out to admissions teams.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
We make it easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience and qualifications on their profile. You can also send them a message to discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson.
How do online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a secure, purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, a shared whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents. It’s an interactive and engaging space for your child to learn one-to-one with their tutor from the comfort of your home.

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find great support that fits your budget.
Are your tutors safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our absolute priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What is your first lesson guarantee?
We want you to be completely happy with your choice of tutor. If for any reason you don't feel the first lesson was a good fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest hurdle. One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their own pace, they can master topics they once found tricky, which is a huge confidence booster.
My child needs help with GCSE English. Can you help?
Yes. We have a huge number of tutors who are experts in the GCSE English curriculum. They can help your child with everything from analysing poetry to understanding exam technique. On average, we help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades.

That's no problem at all. The beauty of Tutorful is its flexibility. You aren't tied into a fixed schedule. You can easily arrange and rearrange lessons directly with your tutor to find times that work for your family.
How quickly will we see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the benefit of one-to-one attention is that progress can be made quickly. Consistent sessions help build knowledge and confidence week by week. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects and skills, well beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn Python, master the guitar, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor to help them.
