Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a Chelmsford grammar school like KEGS or CCHS. Can a tutor help with the 11+?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience preparing children for the 11+ entrance exams. They can focus on key areas like comprehension, creative writing, vocabulary, and grammar to help your child feel confident and fully prepared for the test.
My child goes to William de Ferrers. Can a tutor help them get top English GCSE grades for sixth form?
Yes. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can provide targeted support to help your child achieve the grades they need. They can work on everything from analysing 'Macbeth' to perfecting exam technique. We know that boosting GCSE results by up to two grades can make a huge difference to your child's future options.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
We make it easy. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their experience with specific goals, like the 11+ or GCSEs, to ensure you find the perfect match for your child.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure your child feels comfortable and happy with their tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an English tutor cost in South Woodham Ferrers?
Our tutors set their own rates based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. The price is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process and accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must pass an interview and have a valid DBS background check before they can teach on our platform.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
A great tutor does more than just teach; they build confidence. By working one-to-one in a supportive space, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down tricky topics, helping your child see that they are capable of succeeding.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly sessions to build their skills over time. You can discuss this directly with your tutor, who will be happy to recommend a plan that works for you.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. Our platform makes it simple to manage your schedule. You can cancel or reschedule a lesson with your tutor, but please be aware of our 12-hour cancellation policy to ensure fairness for both you and the tutor.
Does Tutorful only cover academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language, we have expert tutors who can help.
How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's English skills?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that it's completely focused on their needs. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
