Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're preparing for the Essex 11+ exam. Can I find a tutor with specific experience?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. You can use our search filters to find tutors who have experience with the specific comprehension, grammar, and creative writing skills needed for the Essex grammar school entrance exams.
My child is aiming for a school like Chigwell. Can a tutor help with their entrance exam?
Yes. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child prepare for independent school entrance exams. They can work on strengthening core English skills, improving exam technique, and building the confidence your child needs to perform their best on the day.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check their qualifications and experience, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking to ensure you find the right fit.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone to suit your budget. All prices are clearly displayed on their profiles with no hidden costs.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence?
One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic confidence booster. The private, supportive space allows your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. Tutors can break down topics your child finds tricky and celebrate their small wins, helping them rebuild their self-belief.
Can tutoring really improve my child's GCSE English grade?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we can help your child improve their GCSE results by up to two grades. Tutors focus on the specific areas your child needs to work on, from essay technique to analysing unseen texts.
What happens if we don't get on with our first choice of tutor?
We want to make sure you have the best experience, 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.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe to work with?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS background check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and diagrams, and the ability to upload documents. It's a secure and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson per week works well, as it provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, it's completely flexible and you can arrange a schedule with your tutor that suits your child's goals and your family's routine.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, we can help.
What equipment do we need for online tutoring?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop, tablet, or computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. Most modern devices have these built-in.
