Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for Sale Grammar or an Altrincham grammar school. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ and the Trafford CEM test. They can focus on building the advanced vocabulary and comprehension skills your child needs to feel confident and perform at their best on exam day.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right personality fit. You can read reviews from other parents, watch short introduction videos to get a feel for their teaching style, and even message tutors for free before booking. This helps you find someone your child will look forward to learning with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right connection is key to learning. 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.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in Sale schools?
Because our tutors are online, they have experience supporting students from all over the UK. They can tailor lessons to any curriculum, including the specific requirements for local entrance exams in the Trafford area. Just let them know what your child is working on at school.
How do you vet your tutors?
We take your child's safety and quality of learning very seriously. All our tutors are background-checked and we personally interview them. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a true expert.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find an option that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or extra costs. You simply pay for the lessons you book.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy to ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down tricky topics, which builds self-esteem and a positive attitude towards learning.
How do the online lessons work?
It's 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. It’s designed to be engaging and easy for your child to use.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have experts who can teach hobbies and life skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works perfectly. This provides consistency and allows your child to build on what they've learned. However, it's completely flexible and you can arrange a schedule that works for you and your tutor.
What kind of results can I expect?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our goal is to help them make real, measurable progress. We're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade, and we have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews from happy parents.
What equipment does my child need for online tutoring?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. That's it! There's no special software to install.
