Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We live in the Wirral and my child is preparing for the 11+. Can we find a tutor who specialises in this?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ entrance exams, including the verbal reasoning and comprehension sections common for grammar schools in the Wirral and Liverpool. You can filter your search or message tutors directly to ask about their experience.

My daughter wants to apply to a competitive sixth form like The Blue Coat School. Can a tutor help with the English grades she'll need?

Yes. Our tutors are brilliant at helping students aim for top GCSE grades. They can provide targeted support on the specific texts and skills your daughter needs to excel, potentially improving her results by up to 2 grades. This can make a real difference when applying for highly-regarded sixth forms.

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

It’s really important to find someone your child connects with. You can view detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them for free before booking. This helps you get a feel for their personality and teaching style to ensure it’s a great match.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want you and your child to be completely happy. With 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 much does online English tutoring cost in Merseyside?

Our tutors set their own rates, which typically range from £20 to £40 per hour depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone brilliant who fits your budget.

My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?

Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. Celebrating small wins and building on their strengths can make a huge difference to their confidence in the classroom.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our UK-based tutors has undergone a background check. We are also very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

How does the online classroom work?

Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard for drawing diagrams or analysing text, and a document sharing feature. It’s a great way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.

How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?

Most lessons are an hour long. We find a weekly session works best for most students to build momentum and see steady progress, but the frequency is completely up to you and can be discussed with your tutor.

Is tutoring only for school subjects like English and Maths?

Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for core academic subjects, we also have experts who can teach your child life-long skills and hobbies, from learning to play the guitar to coding in Python.

How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's English?

Every child learns at their own pace, but the personalised attention from a tutor often leads to progress quite quickly. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions, and 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.

How do I pay for lessons?

Paying for lessons is simple and secure. Once a lesson is complete, payment is taken automatically from the card stored on your account. You don't need to worry about cash, and you can easily track all your payments online.
