Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a grammar school like Ilford County High or Chelmsford County High. Can we find a tutor with 11+ experience?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are familiar with the specific requirements of the Redbridge and Essex grammar school entrance exams, including verbal reasoning and creative writing. You can view their experience on their profile and message them to discuss your child's needs.
My child is at a local comprehensive in the Gidea Park area. Can a tutor help them achieve top GCSE grades?
Yes. Our tutors are experts at helping students boost their confidence and grades. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we can help your child improve their GCSE results by up to two grades. They can provide targeted support to help your child excel in their English Language and Literature exams.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child 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 choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings and reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking to ensure you find the perfect fit.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can join our platform. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
How can a tutor help my child with creative writing?
A tutor can provide brilliant, personalised support. They can help your child brainstorm ideas, develop characters, structure a story, and improve their vocabulary and descriptive language, which is especially helpful for the 11+ exam.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson per week, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and their tutor, whether that's a weekly session or a few lessons focused on a specific exam.
Can tutoring help my child build confidence?
Absolutely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. A tutor creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement, helping them feel more capable and positive about their learning.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
We understand that life can be unpredictable. You can easily manage your schedule through the platform. Our cancellation policy requires you to give your tutor at least 12 hours' notice to reschedule or cancel a lesson without charge.
