Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're preparing for the 11+ for West Kirby Grammar or Calday Grange. Can a tutor help with the verbal reasoning part?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They have experience with the specific demands of the verbal reasoning and comprehension sections and can help your child build the vocabulary, speed, and confidence needed for the exam.
My child is aiming for a competitive university like Liverpool or Manchester. How can a GCSE English tutor help?
Securing a top grade in GCSE English is a crucial step. Our tutors can help your child improve their results by up to two grades. They'll focus on key areas like essay writing, textual analysis, and exam technique to help them build the strong academic profile needed for applications to leading universities.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. We recommend looking for someone whose experience matches your child's goals—whether that's 11+ prep or GCSE support—and whose teaching style sounds like a good fit for your child's personality.
Can a tutor help if my child's confidence is low?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and building on their strengths is key to rebuilding their self-belief.
How do you make sure tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and they must have a valid DBS check. We're very selective—only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto our platform, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
Is it just for English, or can you help with other things?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So whether your child needs help with Maths, wants to learn to code in Python, or even pick up the guitar, you can find an expert tutor on our platform. It's all about supporting their learning, whatever their passion.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget using our search filters. You'll see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so there are no surprises. You only pay for the lessons you book.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, so it’s just like being in the same room. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find a one-hour lesson each week works well, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that suits your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your chosen tutor. Some students have more frequent sessions when preparing for an exam.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message them at any time to discuss progress. Seeing your child's confidence grow and their understanding deepen is often the clearest sign that the tuition is working.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about what they find difficult, what they enjoy about English, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed session designed to build rapport and create a plan for future lessons.
