Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're preparing for the 11+ for Hertfordshire or Buckinghamshire grammar schools. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience in preparing children for the 11+ and other competitive entrance exams. You can check their profiles for details on their expertise and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs for creative writing and comprehension.
My child attends a high-achieving school like Merchant Taylors' or St Helen's. Can tutors match that academic level?
Definitely. We have a wide range of tutors, including experienced teachers and subject matter experts who are comfortable supporting students working at the highest academic levels. They can provide the challenge and sophisticated feedback needed to help your child excel and aim for those top 8/9 grades at GCSE.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors who seem like a good fit and sending them a message to ask about their experience with your child's specific goals, whether it's building confidence or preparing for an exam.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We understand that the right fit is important. 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 can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention in a safe, supportive space works wonders for confidence. Tutors can break down tricky topics, celebrate small wins, and adapt their teaching style to suit your child's personality, helping them to feel more capable and less anxious about speaking up in class.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, which includes identity checks and background checks, to ensure they are suitable to work with children.
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, allowing you to find an excellent tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is custom-built for one-to-one learning. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for writing and analysing texts together, and a document-sharing feature. It’s simple to use and all lessons are recorded so your child can review them anytime.
My child struggles with analysing poetry for their GCSE. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is a very common area where tutors can help. A specialist English tutor can work through specific poems with your child, teaching them effective techniques for analysing language, structure, and form, and helping them build the skills to tackle unseen poetry with confidence.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually enough time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to suit your child's needs and schedule.
Can a tutor help my child get their creative writing ideas on paper?
Absolutely. Tutors are fantastic at helping children overcome writer's block. They can use fun prompts, teach planning techniques, and help your child develop their vocabulary and sentence structure, making creative writing a much more enjoyable and less daunting task.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have expert tutors for all core academic subjects, we also offer a huge range of other skills! From learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python or improving public speaking, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
