Support Your Child’s Ambitions with an Online English Tutor in Hawkinge
It’s completely understandable to feel the pressure of the upcoming Kent Test. When places at brilliant local schools like The Harvey Grammar or The Folkestone School for Girls feel so important, you want to give your child the best possible chance to show what they can do. You might be worried that their vocabulary, comprehension, or creative writing skills aren't quite where they need to be for the 11+.
Finding the right one-to-one support can make all the difference. An experienced English tutor can work with your child to build their skills and, just as importantly, their confidence. It’s about giving them a space where they can ask questions freely and master the topics they find tricky, so they can walk into their exams feeling prepared and capable.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a grammar school like The Harvey Grammar or The Folkestone School for Girls. Can a tutor help with the Kent Test?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ and the Kent Test. They can focus on the key areas your child needs, such as comprehension, verbal reasoning, vocabulary, and creative writing, to help them feel fully prepared.
My child is worried about the verbal reasoning part of the 11+. Can I find a tutor who specialises in this?
Yes, you can. When you search for an English tutor, you can use our filters to find those who specifically mention 11+ or verbal reasoning experience in their profiles. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Think about what your child needs – is it confidence-building, exam technique, or help with a specific topic? You can message tutors for free to ask questions before you book a lesson.
How do online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and file sharing. It’s designed to be engaging and easy to use. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a microphone, a camera, and a stable internet connection.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is, which is 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 safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We also interview every applicant to ensure they have the right experience and passion for teaching. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How much does an online English tutor 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 allows you to find an experienced tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe and supportive space where there are no wrong questions. A tutor can go at your child's pace, celebrate their progress, and break down difficult topics into manageable steps. This personalised attention often leads to a big boost in self-belief.
Can a tutor help with GCSE English as well as the 11+?
Definitely. Many of our tutors support students right through from primary school to A-Level. If your child is studying for their GCSEs, a tutor can help them analyse texts like 'Macbeth' or improve their essay writing. We find our support can help improve a student's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families start with one lesson a week, as this provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works best for your child and their goals with your chosen tutor.
Is tutoring just for core subjects, or can you help with hobbies too?
While we have thousands of amazing academic tutors, we also have inspiring tutors for hobbies and life skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find a great tutor for it on Tutorful.
