Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a grammar school place. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English paper?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can help your child build the specific comprehension, vocabulary, and writing skills needed to feel confident and prepared for the exam.
We live in Romford and are targeting schools like The Campion School. Can a tutor help my child's application stand out?
Of course. While tutors don't assist with the application itself, they can help your child develop the strong foundational English skills that lead to excellent grades and a confident academic profile, which is key for entry into competitive schools.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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.
My child is losing confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild that self-belief.
How much does an online English tutor in Romford cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find an excellent tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do the online lessons actually work?
It's very simple. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback, and you can message them at any time to discuss your child's development. You'll also see it in their growing confidence and, very often, in their school results.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a DBS background check. We interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 applicants to ensure the highest quality.
What levels of English do your tutors cover?
Our tutors cover everything from primary school and 11+ preparation right through to GCSE, A-Level, and even degree-level English. You can filter your search to find a tutor with the right experience for your child's specific needs.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
Most families find that one session a week is a great starting point. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange lessons as often as you and the tutor feel is necessary, especially in the run-up to exams.
Is it only for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So, alongside core academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, your child can absolutely learn a new hobby or skill, from playing a musical instrument to coding in Python.
