Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We live in West Mersea and are aiming for a Colchester grammar school. Can a tutor help with the 11+ exam?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have extensive experience helping children build the specific comprehension, grammar, and verbal reasoning skills needed to succeed in these competitive entrance exams.

Are tutors familiar with the specific requirements for schools like Colchester County High School for Girls?

Yes. You can filter for tutors who have specific experience with grammar school entrance exams. You can read their profiles and even message them before booking to discuss their familiarity with the format and standards required for specific schools.

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

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

What happens 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 much does online English tutoring cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity and background check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to join us.

How can an online tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor celebrates small wins and helps your child see their own progress, which is often the key to unlocking their confidence.

How long are the tutoring sessions?

Sessions are typically one hour long, but you can arrange different lesson lengths by discussing it directly with your chosen tutor. It's flexible to fit what works best for your child.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

All you need is a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. Our online classroom has all the tools needed, including an interactive whiteboard, so you don't need any special software.

Do you only offer academic subjects like English?

Not at all. While we have experts for core subjects from the 11+ right through to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of hobbies and skills. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, coding, or even a new language, we can help.

Can I track my child's progress?

Yes. You can speak with your child's tutor at any time through our messaging system. Many tutors provide regular feedback to parents on the topics covered and the progress being made, so you always know how things are going.

Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?

No, there are no long-term commitments. You can book lessons one at a time or arrange a regular weekly slot with your tutor. The platform is designed to be flexible to suit your family's needs.
