Building a Strong English Foundation for Grammar School and Beyond
Strong English skills are about so much more than passing a single exam. They are the key that unlocks your child's future academic success. The ability to understand complex texts, build a sophisticated vocabulary, and articulate ideas clearly is vital for the 11+ exam. But these same skills are essential for achieving top GCSE grades in a few years, securing competitive A-Level choices, and eventually thriving at university. It's the foundation for everything to come.

Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Berkshire 11+. Can I find a tutor with experience in this?
Yes, absolutely. Many tutors on our platform specialise in 11+ preparation and have specific experience with the Berkshire entrance exams. You can use our search filters to find tutors who mention 11+ expertise and read their profiles and parent reviews to find the perfect match for your child.
We're aiming for a grammar school like Reading School or Kendrick. Can a tutor help?
Yes. A specialist tutor can provide invaluable support by focusing on the specific skills needed for these competitive exams, such as advanced comprehension, verbal reasoning, and exam technique. They can help your child understand what examiners are looking for and build their confidence ahead of the test.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read detailed profiles, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. This helps ensure you find someone your child will connect with.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. The cost is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no surprises.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, a shared whiteboard, and the ability to upload documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn one-to-one with their tutor from the comfort of your home.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must pass a background check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can tutoring help if my child has lost confidence in English?
One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic way to rebuild confidence. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions freely without any classroom pressure. Tutors can go back over topics your child finds tricky and celebrate their progress, which makes a huge difference to their self-esteem.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first 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 long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths by discussing it directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of excellent academic tutors, we also have experts who teach practical skills and hobbies. So whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find a tutor for them here.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to ask questions or discuss their development. Many parents tell us they see a positive change not just in their child's results, but in their whole attitude towards learning.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life can be busy, we get it. You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson through the platform. Each tutor sets their own cancellation policy, which is usually 12 or 24 hours' notice, and this is clearly displayed on their profile.
