Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We live in Cricklewood and are aiming for a grammar school like Henrietta Barnett. Can we find a tutor with 11+ experience?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ entrance exam preparation. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in comprehension, verbal reasoning, and creative writing to help your child feel prepared and confident for the exam.

My child is worried about getting top GCSE grades to apply for London universities. Can a tutor help with this?

Yes. Our tutors are experts at helping students target the higher grades. They can work with your child on the specific skills needed for grades 7-9, such as detailed textual analysis and sophisticated essay writing. We’ve seen that targeted support can help improve GCSE results by up to two grades.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and an introductory video. Reading reviews from other parents is also a great way to get a feel for their teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to find the best fit for your child's personality and learning needs.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor we try?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.

Are your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors have been interviewed and have had their ID and qualifications verified. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on the tutor profiles with no hidden costs.

How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?

One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in a busy classroom. This personalised attention helps them grasp difficult topics, and as their understanding grows, so does their confidence.

How do online lessons work?

Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from a top tutor, no matter where you are.

My child needs help with a specific part of English, like analysing poetry. Can a tutor help?

Definitely. Our tutors can create lessons focused on exactly what your child finds tricky, whether it's analysing Shakespeare, understanding poetic techniques, or structuring a persuasive essay. Just let them know what your child needs support with.

How quickly can we see an improvement?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored, one-to-one approach is designed to get results. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade, and many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions.

Can I see what other parents think?

Yes, you can read reviews from thousands of other parents on each tutor's profile. We're proud to have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 customer reviews, which we hope gives you confidence in finding the right support for your child.

Is tutoring only for school subjects, or could my child learn something new like coding or playing the guitar?

While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer tutoring for a huge range of hobbies and skills. Your child could learn a new language, master the guitar, or even get started with coding.
