I remember one Year 3 pupil who struggled with writing; by breaking tasks into small steps, using visuals and positive reinforcement, she went from reluctant writer to story-lovin...

Hi there, my name is Krishni! I am a Law and Sociology graduate from the University of Warwick, and now I am doing my legal masters. From all the trial and errors I have undergone, my mission is to transform grades and confidence.I had struggled throughout school in terms of focus and struggling with the ‘one-size-fits all’ approach school teachers left me with. I would constantly get reprimanded and disheartened with my grades. After many MANY trial and errors, I finally figured out how to personalise and tailor the curriculum to ME and saw results almost straight away. This tailoring method is ...

asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is preparing for the Redbridge 11+. Can I find a tutor with specific experience?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation, including verbal reasoning and creative writing. You can check their profiles for specific experience with the Redbridge exam format and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's needs.

We're aiming for a place at a grammar school like Ilford County High. Can a tutor help with this?

Yes, our tutors can provide targeted support for grammar school entrance exams. They can help your child build the specific English skills and exam techniques needed to perform their best and approach the test with confidence.

What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?

We want to find the perfect match for your child. 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.

How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?

You can start by using the filters on our search page to find tutors with the right experience, for example, in GCSE or 11+ English. Reading their profiles and parent reviews is a great way to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ensure they're a good fit.

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 also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

How can tutoring help my child if they're feeling anxious about exams?

Anxiety often comes from feeling unprepared. A tutor can help by breaking down difficult topics into manageable steps, practising exam questions, and building a solid revision plan. This preparation, combined with the encouragement of one-to-one support, can do wonders for your child's confidence.

How much does an online English tutor in Ilford cost?

Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £20 to £45 per hour depending on their experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.

How do the online lessons work?

Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.

Can a tutor help my child with their GCSE English Literature and Language?

Yes, many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE English curriculum. They can provide specific support for both English Language and Literature, helping your child with everything from analysing poetry to structuring persuasive essays. This support can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your tutor if needed.

Is tutoring just for school subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer tutoring for a huge range of interests! Beyond core academic subjects, your child can learn anything from coding and playing the guitar to a new language. It's a great way to support their hobbies and personal development.

How quickly can my child start lessons?

You can get started very quickly. Once you find a tutor you like, you can message them to arrange your first lesson. Many tutors have availability within the next few days, so your child can get the support they need without delay.
