Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for Bexley and Kent grammar schools. Can we find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ entrance exams, including those for local grammar schools like Townley and Beths. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in 11+ preparation and mention it in your introductory message.
Can an online tutor help with the verbal reasoning and comprehension parts of the 11+?
Definitely. These are key areas where one-to-one tuition can make a huge difference. A tutor can work through practice papers with your child, teach them techniques for understanding complex texts, and help them build the vocabulary and reasoning skills needed to feel confident on exam day.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Start by reading tutor profiles and reviews from other parents. Look for tutors with experience in the specific area your child needs help with, whether it's GCSE exam technique or 11+ preparation. We recommend messaging a few tutors to find a personality and teaching style that you feel is the right fit for your child.
How much does an English tutor in Plumstead cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £15 to £35 per hour depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can easily find someone who fits your family's budget.
How are the tutors vetted?
We take your child's safety and quality of education very seriously. Every tutor must provide a valid DBS check, professional references, and undergo an interview. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from a pool of highly qualified, trusted professionals.
How can online tutoring help my child build confidence?
The one-to-one environment of online tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling shy or embarrassed. When a tutor tailors lessons to their pace and helps them overcome specific hurdles, your child gets a real sense of achievement, which is a fantastic confidence booster.
What happens if we don't get on with our first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have 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 long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long, and most families find that one session per week is a great starting point. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your schedule.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
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 for an engaging lesson, including an interactive whiteboard and video chat.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of skills beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find expert tutors on our platform.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can start looking for a tutor right away. Many of our tutors respond to messages within a few hours, and you could have your first lesson booked in just a day or two. It's a quick and simple process.
