Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're aiming for The Coopers' Company and Coborn School. Can I find a tutor with 11+ experience?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in preparing children for the 11+ and other selective school entrance exams. You can check their profiles for specific experience with the English and Verbal Reasoning papers and message them before booking to discuss your child's needs.

Is online tutoring as effective for my child in Upminster as face-to-face?

Yes, and many parents find it even better! Online tutoring gives you access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those living nearby. Our interactive online classroom has tools like a virtual whiteboard, making lessons just as engaging. Plus, it saves you travel time and fits easily into your family's routine.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to make sure you find the perfect fit.

My child lacks confidence in English. Can a tutor really help?

Definitely. One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. Our tutors are skilled at building self-esteem by celebrating small wins and adapting their teaching style to make learning feel positive and rewarding.

What if my child doesn't click with their 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 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 much does an English tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You'll find that all our tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an expert tutor who fits your budget.

How do you check your tutors' backgrounds?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and verify their ID. All our UK-based tutors also have an up-to-date DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we believe in learning for life! Your child can also learn a musical instrument like the guitar, explore coding with Python, or even learn a new language. There are hundreds of subjects to discover.

How can a tutor help with creative writing for the 11+?

A specialist tutor can break down the key elements of a great story, such as character development, setting the scene, and building suspense. They'll work with your child on expanding their vocabulary and using literary techniques to make their writing stand out.

How long are the tutoring sessions?

Lessons are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.

What happens in a typical online English lesson?

Every lesson is tailored to your child. A tutor might start by reviewing a piece of homework, then introduce a new concept using the interactive whiteboard, and finish by working through practice exam questions together. The focus is always on your child's individual needs.

How often should my child have a lesson?

This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Many families find a regular weekly session works well for consistent progress, but you can arrange lessons as often as you need, especially in the run-up to an important exam.
