Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a grammar school like Dr Challoner's. Can a tutor help with 11+ preparation?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have specific experience with the Buckinghamshire exam. They can help your child build the vocabulary, comprehension, and verbal reasoning skills needed to feel confident and prepared.
Do your tutors understand the specific demands of the local grammar school entrance exams?
Yes, you can find tutors who are very familiar with the requirements for schools in the Buckinghamshire area. You can check their profile bios or send them a direct message to ask about their experience with the 11+ format used by schools like Chesham Grammar.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to success.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It has all the tools your child needs to learn in an engaging way, right from your home.
How much do online English tutors cost in Prestwood?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits your family's budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no surprises.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is ID and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
What if my child doesn't get on with their 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 can a tutor help my child if they just lack confidence?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics can make a huge difference to their self-esteem.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we help thousands of students with academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, our tutors also offer a huge range of other skills. You can find experts in everything from learning guitar and coding to public speaking and creative writing.
My child is preparing for their GCSEs. Can a tutor help improve their grades?
Yes, they can. We see fantastic results, with 90% of our students improving by at least one grade. For GCSEs specifically, our data shows we can help students improve by up to two grades, which can make a real difference to their future options.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Most lessons are one hour long, and many parents find a weekly session works well. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that fits around your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your chosen tutor.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
You'll see it in their confidence and their schoolwork. Tutors also provide regular feedback, and you can message them at any time to discuss how things are going. It’s a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
