Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're aiming for a place at Fortismere or The Archer Academy. Can a tutor help?

Yes, many of our tutors specialise in school entrance preparation, including the 11+. They can help your child build the core English skills and exam techniques needed to feel confident and perform their best.

My child wants to apply to Woodhouse College. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE grades?

Absolutely. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child achieve the best possible GCSE English grades. They can focus on specific areas of the curriculum to boost their chances of securing a place. We can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.

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

You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their experience with the 11+ or GCSEs to ensure they're the right fit for your child's needs.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, 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 do I know the tutors are safe?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has been through a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How much does online English tutoring cost?

Tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You only pay for the lessons you book.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it gives a child. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space for them to ask questions without fear of being judged, helping them feel much more capable and positive about their learning.

How does online tutoring work?

Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents. All your child needs is a computer with a microphone and webcam, and a stable internet connection.

Do you only offer academic subjects? My other child is interested in learning guitar.

Yes, we do! While we have thousands of academic tutors, we also have experts who teach practical skills and hobbies like playing the guitar, coding, or learning a new language. There's something for everyone in the family.

How often should my child have a lesson?

This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Many families start with one session a week, especially in the run-up to exams like the 11+ or GCSEs, but you can schedule lessons as often or as little as you need.

How long are the lessons?

Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different lengths with your tutor to suit your child's concentration span and your family's schedule.

What happens in a typical English lesson?

A lesson is tailored to your child's specific needs. It might involve going over a tricky piece of homework, practising specific exam questions for their English GCSE, or working on their essay writing skills for A-Levels. The tutor will focus on the areas where your child needs the most support.
