Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is preparing for the Redbridge 11+. Can I find a specialist tutor?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ exam, including the verbal reasoning and English sections common in the Redbridge test. You can check tutor profiles for this specialism and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's needs.

We live in Woodford and are worried about GCSEs. Can a tutor help my child get into a competitive sixth form?

We understand that getting the right GCSE grades is crucial for the next step. Our tutors are brilliant at helping students build the skills and confidence needed for their exams. In fact, we can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to two grades, giving them a much stronger foundation for their sixth-form applications.

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

Finding the right fit is key. You can read detailed profiles, watch introduction videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors who have experience with your child's specific goals—whether that's 11+ prep or GCSE revision—and sending them a message to see who feels like the best match for your child's personality.

How much do online English tutors cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget using the filters on our search page. Tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find an option that works for your family.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We want to make sure your child feels comfortable and happy with their tutor. 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 do online lessons actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child can work through everything from algebra problems to essay plans with their tutor in real-time, just as they would in person.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check. We also interview them and verify their ID and qualifications. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?

One-to-one attention makes all the difference. In a private lesson, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down tricky topics into manageable steps, which really helps to build self-belief over time.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that one lesson a week works perfectly for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want to arrange more sessions in the run-up to an important exam, or fewer during school holidays. You can discuss what's best with your chosen tutor.

What kind of results can I expect?

We're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. More than that, you can expect to see your child grow in confidence and feel more positive about their learning. It's why over 4,100 parents have given us a 4.6-star rating.

Can a tutor help with a specific book or poem my child is studying?

Yes, that's one of the great benefits of one-to-one tutoring. If your child is struggling to analyse a specific Shakespeare play or a difficult poem for their GCSEs, their tutor can dedicate entire lessons to breaking it down and helping them understand it fully.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we have tutors for all academic subjects, we also have experts who can teach practical and creative skills. So if your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, we can help with that too.
