Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for Marling School or Stroud High School. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience with 11+ preparation. They can create a tailored plan for your child focusing specifically on the Verbal Reasoning, comprehension, and vocabulary skills needed for the entrance exams for Stroud's grammar schools.
How can I find an English tutor who specialises in 11+ Verbal Reasoning?
It's easy to find the right specialist. When you search for English tutors, you can use our filters to find those who mention 11+ or Verbal Reasoning in their profiles. You can also read reviews from other parents to see who has a great track record.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
The best tutor is one your child connects with. We recommend watching tutors' introductory videos, reading their bios, and checking reviews from other parents. You can also message a few tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson.
How do you make sure tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must pass a rigorous selection process and complete a background check before they can join our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child learns from the best.
How much does an online English tutor cost in Stroud?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £15 to £40. Prices are based on the tutor's experience and level of demand. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Our online classroom is designed for one-to-one learning. Your child and their tutor can talk, share files, and use the interactive whiteboard to work through problems together, whether it's annotating a text or practising grammar exercises.
How can tutoring 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 not ask in class. A great tutor celebrates small wins and breaks down big topics, helping your child see their own progress and feel capable.
Is there a 'First Lesson Guarantee'?
Yes, there is. We want you to feel confident you've found the right match. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How long does a tutoring session last?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which gives enough time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor if needed.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Alongside core subjects like English and Maths, your child can learn skills like coding, playing the guitar, public speaking, or even a new language.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others have weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss a flexible plan with your tutor.
Can a tutor help my child with their GCSE English?
Definitely. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can help your child with everything from analysing 'Macbeth' quotes to structuring essays. We know this extra support works – we can help improve GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
