Why Strong English Skills are Key for the 11+ and Beyond
Strong English skills are the foundation for success across all subjects. For the 11+, this means mastering verbal reasoning and tricky comprehension tasks. Later, for GCSEs, it’s about being able to analyse a quote from 'Macbeth' or structure a persuasive essay. These are the skills that help your child communicate clearly and think critically, opening doors to the best local sixth forms, top universities, and future careers.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for grammar schools in Maidenhead. Can I find a tutor with specific experience?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping children prepare for the 11+ exam. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in 11+ preparation and even mention specific school entrance requirements in their profiles. You can also message them before booking to discuss your child's needs.
We're aiming for a top grade in GCSE English to get into a competitive local sixth form. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, this is a very common goal for families we support. Our tutors can provide targeted help to push for those top grades. In fact, we can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades. They can focus on specific areas, from exam technique and essay writing to understanding challenging texts.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't feel the first tutor is the right fit, for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic areas from primary to university level, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, including coding, learning the guitar, public speaking, and much more.
There are so many tutors. How do I choose the right one for my child?
We make it easy to find the perfect match. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also filter by experience, such as '11+ preparation' or 'GCSE English Literature'. Don't hesitate to message a few tutors to chat about your child's goals before booking.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This means you can find an experienced, background-checked tutor that fits your family's budget, with no hidden fees or subscriptions.
My child has lost their confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a classroom, it can be hard to speak up. A personal tutor creates a safe, encouraging environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics helps rebuild their self-belief.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and engaging. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space to share documents. Your child can work through exam papers, analyse texts, and practice writing essays with their tutor in real-time, just as they would in person.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must pass an interview and have their ID and background checks (like a DBS) verified before they can teach on our platform.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson a week, as this consistency helps build momentum and reinforce learning. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to an exam like the 11+ or GCSEs. You can discuss the best plan with your chosen tutor.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time through the platform to discuss how things are going. Seeing your child's growing confidence and improved results in their schoolwork are often the clearest signs of success.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
We understand that life can be unpredictable. You can easily manage your schedule through your Tutorful account. Our cancellation policy is flexible, but we ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice if you need to make a change to a booked lesson.
