Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is preparing for the 11+ for Trafford or Stockport grammar schools. Can we find a specialist tutor?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. You can filter your search for tutors with specific experience in entrance exams, focusing on key areas like comprehension, creative writing, and verbal reasoning to help your child feel prepared and confident.

We're aiming for Poynton High School and then a top university like Manchester. Can a tutor help?

Definitely. Our tutors can provide support at every stage. They can help build a strong foundation for GCSE English at Poynton High, and later assist with the advanced analysis and essay skills needed for A-Levels and writing a strong university personal statement.

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

You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding a great personality match for your child.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform must have a valid DBS check and provide professional references. We interview every tutor to ensure they are experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate about teaching.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?

One-to-one lessons create a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their own pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them overcome learning barriers and build genuine self-belief.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.

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

Lessons are typically one hour long, and most families start with one session per week. However, this is completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child's goals and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.

Do you only offer academic subjects like English?

Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects from primary school through to university, we also have tutors for hobbies and professional skills. Your child could learn anything from guitar and piano to coding and a new language.

Can a tutor help if my child has a specific learning need, like dyslexia?

Yes, many of our tutors have experience and qualifications in supporting students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in areas like dyslexia or dyscalculia to ensure your child gets the tailored support they need.

What's the difference between an online tutor and their classroom teacher?

A classroom teacher does a fantastic job managing a large group, but a tutor provides dedicated, one-to-one attention. This allows them to focus entirely on your child's individual challenges and learning style, tailoring every single lesson to their needs.
