Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for local grammar schools. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation, including creative writing and comprehension skills. You can filter for tutors with this specific experience to find the perfect match to support your child's application.
We're aiming for a competitive independent school in the Northwood area. Can we find a tutor with relevant experience?
Yes. We have tutors with experience helping students prepare for entrance exams to leading independent schools. You can read tutor profiles, check their qualifications, and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's specific goals and ensure they're the right fit.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend watching tutors' introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also read reviews from other parents and filter by experience to find someone who matches your child's specific needs, whether it's for GCSE exam technique or building foundational reading skills.
How much does an online English tutor cost in Northwood?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £50 depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, helping you find fantastic support that fits your family's budget.
How do I know my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to help you see the progress your child is making. The one-to-one setting also means you'll likely notice a boost in their confidence and a better understanding of their schoolwork quite quickly. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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. We interview every single tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
What equipment do we need for online tutoring?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has all the tools needed, like an interactive whiteboard, to make lessons engaging and effective.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session a week is a great way to build momentum and reinforce school learning, but the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your chosen tutor.
Can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a patient and encouraging environment where your child can learn at their own pace, free from classroom pressure. Rebuilding that self-belief is often the first step to academic success.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we offer fantastic support for core academic subjects, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills! You can find tutors for everything from coding and music to learning a new language, helping your child explore their passions.
How does Tutorful have a 4.6-star rating?
Our 4.6-star rating comes from over 4,100 reviews from parents and students just like you. We believe it reflects our commitment to providing high-quality, vetted tutors and a supportive experience that genuinely helps students achieve their goals.
