Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a grammar school place in Reading. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They have experience with the specific requirements of competitive entrance exams, including creative writing, comprehension, and verbal reasoning, helping to build your child's skills and confidence for the big day.
My child is at a local comprehensive. Can a tutor help them achieve top 7-9 grades in GCSE English?
Yes, that's a very common goal for parents we work with. Our tutors are brilliant at closing knowledge gaps and stretching capable students. They can provide focused support on everything from analysing poetry to perfecting exam technique, which can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents just like you. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors first to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding a great match for your child's personality and learning style.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key to success. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
My child's confidence in English is really low. Can a tutor help with that?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe and encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By celebrating small wins and explaining things in a way that clicks, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief, which is wonderful to see.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of demand. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have a one-hour lesson each week, as this consistency really helps build momentum. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange sessions with your tutor to fit your family's schedule and your child's specific needs, whether that's more frequent support before an exam or fortnightly lessons.
Do you only offer academic subjects?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding in Python to modern languages and music theory.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is getting on. You can also message them at any time to discuss progress. Seeing your child become more confident and engaged with a topic is often the first and most important sign that they're on the right track.
Do I have to commit to a certain number of lessons?
Not at all. There are no contracts or minimum commitments. You can book lessons one at a time or schedule a regular slot with your tutor – whatever works best for you and your child. You're always in complete control.
