Building a Strong Foundation in English for the 11+ and Beyond
A strong grasp of English is absolutely vital for success in the 11+, especially for the challenging comprehension and verbal reasoning sections. But these skills are also the foundation for your child's entire academic future. The ability to understand and analyse texts is just as important for tackling 'Macbeth' at GCSE as it is for writing essays at university. By strengthening these core skills now, you're not just preparing them for an exam; you're opening doors for their future.

John M
John has been an excellent English IGCSE tutor. He is very organised, enthusiastic and communicates clearly. He quickly built a strong rapport with my daughter, putting her at ease, and she is really enjoying the lessons and getting a lot out of them. John is helping her to build confidence, structure exam answers and prepare effectively for revision, and I feel the tutoring will be very beneficial in the run-up to her exams.

Ben D
Ben has been a great tutor for my 16 year old doing his English GCSEs. Ben's tuition has improved my son's grade from a 4 up to between a 5-8, depending on the topic, in just a few months. He has also hugely improved his confidence, and his writing ability in other subjects such as History has improved as well. Ben has a relaxed, respectful and friendly approach that my son has really gotten on with, and he is enjoying feeling more confident for his English Language and Literature exams this year. I highly recommend Ben for your child's tuition.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a grammar school in Sutton or Bromley. Can I find a tutor with 11+ experience?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have a deep understanding of what's needed for the entrance exams for top grammar schools in the Sutton and Bromley areas. You can view their experience and specialisms on their profiles.
Are the tutors familiar with the specific requirements of the 11+ exams for schools like Wilson's or Wallington?
Yes. Experienced 11+ tutors are very familiar with the different exam boards and the specific formats used by leading grammar schools. They can help your child practise with relevant materials and develop the specific comprehension, vocabulary, and reasoning skills required.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, check their qualifications, watch introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs for the 11+ before booking a lesson. Finding the right personality match is key!
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That’s 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 and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence for the 11+ exams?
Confidence comes from feeling prepared. Tutors create a positive, low-pressure environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working through challenges together and celebrating small wins, they help your child build the self-belief they need to tackle the exams.
How much does an online English tutor in Kenley cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £20 to £45 per hour, depending on their experience and specialism. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child just needs a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going. Seeing your child's growing confidence and their improved ability to tackle practice papers is often the clearest sign of progress.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress, especially in the run-up to exams like the 11+. However, you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child with your chosen tutor.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas! From learning to play the guitar or piano to getting started with coding languages like Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know your child. The tutor will chat with them about their goals, what they find tricky in English, and what they enjoy. They'll likely do a few light activities to gauge their current level, all in a friendly and relaxed way.
