Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Goodmayes and are aiming for a Redbridge grammar school. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have specific experience with the requirements for competitive grammar schools in areas like Redbridge. They can focus on key areas like verbal reasoning, comprehension, and creative writing to help your child feel prepared and confident.
My child is worried about the creative writing part of the 11+ for schools like Ilford County High. Can a tutor focus on that?
Yes, this is a perfect example of how one-to-one tutoring can help. A tutor can work with your child to develop their storytelling skills, expand their vocabulary, and structure their writing effectively, building their confidence for that specific part of the exam.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will get on with. Many also offer a free 15-minute chat to discuss your child's needs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, 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?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £15 to £40 per hour. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents, making it easy for your child to learn and collaborate with their tutor from the comfort of home.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has undergone a thorough background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, supportive space for your child to ask questions without fear of being judged. By tackling tricky topics together and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them overcome learning barriers and see what they're truly capable of.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be discussed with your tutor based on your child's specific goals, whether it's ongoing support or a short-term boost for an exam.
Can a tutor help with GCSE or A-Level English too?
Yes, definitely. We have a wide range of tutors who specialise in all levels, from primary and 11+ right through to GCSE, A-Level, and even university-level English. You can filter your search to find a tutor with the right experience for your child's needs.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to coding in Python or picking up a new language, we have expert tutors who can help your child explore their passions.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed for progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. In fact, over 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
