Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for schools like Altrincham or Sale Grammar. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have experience with the specific requirements of Trafford's grammar school entrance exams, including verbal reasoning and comprehension.
We're hoping for a Russell Group university like Manchester. How can an English tutor help with this?
A great English tutor helps build the critical thinking and analytical skills that top universities value. By helping your child achieve higher GCSE and A-Level grades, they significantly strengthen their UCAS application and prepare them for undergraduate-level study.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with rates clearly displayed on every profile.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for 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.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention in a safe space allows your child to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help your child see that they can succeed, which is a huge confidence booster.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID-checked and has an up-to-date DBS background check. We are very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your home.
What if my child needs help with a specific book or topic?
That's the great thing about one-to-one tuition. You can let the tutor know in advance what your child is studying, and they can prepare a lesson specifically on that topic, whether it's Shakespeare, poetry analysis, or creative writing.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long session per week is ideal for making consistent progress. However, you can arrange a schedule that works for you and your child, whether that's more frequent lessons before an exam or fortnightly top-ups.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in a wide range of subjects and skills! Beyond core academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, your child can learn anything from coding and playing the guitar to a new language.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also see their confidence grow as they start to tackle difficult concepts and bring home better results from school. Our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews shows how happy parents are with the results.
