Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at Carre's Grammar School or Kesteven and Sleaford High School. Can a tutor help with the 11+?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ entrance exams. They can focus on the key areas of verbal reasoning, comprehension, and vocabulary that are crucial for success in the Sleaford grammar school tests.
Do your tutors understand the specific requirements for the 11+ in Lincolnshire?
Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are familiar with the format and requirements of the exams used in Lincolnshire. You can view their profiles to see their specific experience and even send them a message before booking to discuss your child's needs.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
The best way is to read tutor profiles, check their qualifications, and watch their introductory videos to get a sense of their personality. You can also use our filters to find tutors with specific experience, such as 11+ or GCSE prep. Don't hesitate to message a few tutors to find the right fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship 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.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform is background-checked and we verify their ID. We also interview every tutor and are highly selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants to ensure your child learns from the best.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space for sharing documents. It’s a secure and effective way for your child to learn one-to-one with their tutor from home.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's work?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that consistent tutoring makes a real difference. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, often feeling more confident and engaged after just a few sessions.
Can a tutor help my child with their GCSE English?
Yes, we have many tutors who are experts in the GCSE English Language and Literature curricula. They can help your child with everything from essay writing to exam technique and have been shown to help students improve their final results by up to 2 grades.
What if my child has just lost their confidence in English?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A great tutor does more than just teach a subject; they act as a mentor, building your child's self-esteem. The one-to-one attention in a supportive environment can make a huge difference to how your child feels about learning.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, you can arrange lessons as frequently as you and the tutor feel is necessary, especially in the run-up to an important exam like the 11+.
Do you offer tutoring for skills beyond core school subjects?
We do! While we have experts for academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors who can teach a wide range of skills. Your child can learn a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or even practical skills like coding.
