Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're preparing for the Kent Test. Can I find a tutor who specialises in 11-Plus English?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience preparing children for the 11-Plus, including the Kent Test. You can check a tutor's profile for their specific experience and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's needs regarding comprehension and creative writing.
My child is hoping for a place at a grammar school like Wilmington or Judd. Can a tutor help?
Yes. While we can't guarantee a place, our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child feel confident and prepared for the entrance exams. They can work on specific skills, exam techniques, and time management to give your child the best possible chance of success.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to look at their profiles. You can see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their introduction video to get a feel for their personality and messaging a few to find the perfect match for your child.
How much does an online English tutor in West Kingsdown cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. The price is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget with no hidden costs.
What if my child doesn't click with their 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 does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so your child and their tutor can work together just as they would in person. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted to teach with us.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of being wrong. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, tutors help your child see their own progress, which is a fantastic confidence booster.
How often should my child have an English lesson?
Most families opt for one lesson per week to build momentum and allow time for practice in between. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works best for your child and your family, whether that's more frequent lessons leading up to an exam or fortnightly sessions.
Can a tutor help with specific English topics, like Macbeth or poetry?
Definitely. Our tutors can provide focused support on any area of the English curriculum your child finds challenging. Whether it's analysing quotes in 'Macbeth', understanding poetic techniques, or improving essay structure, they can tailor lessons to cover exactly what's needed.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we have experts in all core academic subjects, we also have talented tutors who can teach a wide range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python, there's a huge variety of subjects available to help your child explore their interests.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is usually a chance for the tutor to get to know your child. They'll chat about what your child enjoys, what they find tricky in English, and what their goals are. It's a relaxed session designed to build a good relationship and create a plan for future lessons.
