Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We live in Merton but are aiming for a grammar school in Sutton or Kingston. Can a tutor help with the 11+?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are familiar with the specific requirements and exam styles for the Sutton and Kingston grammar schools. You can browse tutor profiles to find someone with the right experience to help your child build the verbal reasoning and comprehension skills they need.

My child is at primary school in Merton. Can a tutor help them prepare for secondary school applications?

Yes, that's a perfect time to start. A tutor can help your child develop a love for reading and writing, strengthen their core skills, and build confidence well ahead of secondary school transitions. This early support can make a huge difference when it comes to competitive applications for local schools.

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

You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a short introductory chat to see if they're a good fit before you book. Think about your child's personality and learning style – finding someone they connect with is key.

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

We want to make sure you 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.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

How do online lessons work?

Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a good internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.

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

We offer tutoring for a huge range of interests! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects from the 11+ right up to degree level, your child can also learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language. There's something for everyone.

How can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence in English?

This is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child feels comfortable asking questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Celebrating small wins and tailoring lessons to their interests can quickly rebuild their self-belief.

How long does it take to see an improvement?

Every child is different, but the personalised focus of one-to-one tutoring means progress can happen quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.

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 enjoy and what they find tricky in English. It's a relaxed session designed to build a good relationship and create a plan for future lessons.

How many other students have used Tutorful?

You're in good company! Over 200,000 students have found success with our tutors. We're proud to have helped so many families and have earned a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 customer reviews.
