Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Wanstead and are worried about the Redbridge 11+. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the demands of the 11+ exam, including the verbal reasoning and comprehension sections common in the Redbridge system. You can browse tutor profiles to find someone with the right expertise.
My child wants to apply to Woodford County High. Can we find a specialist?
Yes. We have tutors who specialise in grammar school entrance exams. You can use our search filters to find tutors with experience in 11+ preparation and mention your goal of applying to a specific school like Woodford County High when you message them.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
Start by reading their profiles to see their experience, especially with the level your child is studying (e.g., 11+, GCSE). Watch their introductory video to get a feel for their personality, and don't hesitate to message a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking.
How can tutoring build my child's confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. When a tutor tailors lessons to their pace and helps them achieve small wins, like finally understanding a tricky poem, their self-belief grows naturally.
What happens 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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find an option that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a two-way video stream, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has been personally interviewed by our team. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be completely reassured.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, you can arrange lessons as often as you feel your child needs them. You can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts in core subjects from primary school to university level, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking a new language.
Can a tutor help with both GCSE English Language and Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both the Language and Literature GCSE courses. They can help your child with everything from essay writing and analysing texts to mastering spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can start very quickly. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can send them a message to arrange your first lesson. Many tutors can be available within a few days, helping your child get the support they need without delay.
