Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for schools like University College School. Can I find a tutor with specific experience?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in entrance exam preparation, including the 11+. You can view their profiles to see their specific experience, read reviews from other parents, and even message them before booking to discuss your child's needs for schools in the Hampstead area.
We're worried about the creative writing part of the 7+ exams. How can a tutor help?
A tutor can make a real difference here. They can work with your child on story structure, vocabulary, and descriptive techniques in a fun and engaging way. They provide a safe space to practise and build confidence, helping your child learn how to express their imagination on paper.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Finding the right fit is key. You can filter tutors by subject and level, then read their personal bios, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their short intro videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. Messaging a few tutors first is a great way to find the perfect match.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have a 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.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced tutor who fits your budget.
My child's confidence in English is low. How can a tutor help with that?
This is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors are brilliant at celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics, which helps rebuild confidence step by step.
Is tutoring only for school subjects, or could my child learn something else?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have experts in a huge range of other areas. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with coding in Python, or even learn a new language.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a background check (DBS or equivalent). We also interview our tutors to ensure they have the right skills and attitude to teach young people.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week works best for consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to an exam, or less frequent sessions for general support. It's entirely up to you and your tutor.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress. Seeing your child's growing confidence and improved results in their schoolwork is often the clearest sign of success.
What equipment do we need for an online lesson?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and has features like an interactive whiteboard to make learning collaborative and engaging.
How effective is online tutoring?
It's incredibly effective. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Online tutoring gives you access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live locally, and the one-to-one focus ensures lessons are perfectly tailored to your child's needs.
