They open doors to further education at college and university, strengthen their personal statement, and are highly valued by employers in any career they choose to pursue.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child in Solihull?
It's easy to find a great match. You can use our search filters to see tutors who specialise in your child's age group and specific goals, from primary school to A-Levels. You can read their profiles, check reviews from other parents, and even message them for free before booking to make sure they're the right fit for your family.
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, giving you a wide range of options to suit your budget. You can see each tutor's price per hour clearly on their profile.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Absolutely. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our UK-based tutors has passed a background check before they can teach on our platform. We also personally interview every tutor to ensure they meet our high standards.
My child is preparing for the 11+ for grammar schools in the Solihull area. Can a tutor help?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They have experience helping children build the specific English and verbal reasoning skills needed for entrance exams for schools in and around the West Midlands, helping them feel calm and prepared.
What happens if we don't get on with our first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and engaging. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for working through problems together, and a way to share documents like essays or past papers. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
My child is thinking about applying to universities like Birmingham or Warwick. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, definitely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students with their UCAS applications and personal statements. They can help your child structure their thoughts, refine their writing, and present themselves in the best possible light.
How can tutoring help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Confidence is key. One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor celebrates small wins, builds on their strengths, and helps them see that they are capable of succeeding, which can make a huge difference to their attitude in the classroom.
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, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child's goals and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We believe learning is for everyone, and it's not just about exams! We have expert tutors who can teach a huge range of skills, from learning to play the guitar or piano to getting started with a new language or even coding in Python.
What qualifications do your English tutors have?
Our tutors come from a range of professional backgrounds. Many are qualified teachers, experienced examiners, or hold degrees in English from top universities. You can view each tutor's specific qualifications and experience on their profile to help you decide.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
We understand that life happens! Our platform has a flexible cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can cancel or reschedule a lesson without any charge.
