Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is preparing for the 11+ for Reading's grammar schools. Can I find a specialist tutor?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ exam, including the verbal reasoning and comprehension sections. You can read tutor profiles and message them directly to find someone who is the perfect fit for your child's goals.

We're worried about getting the GCSE grades needed for competitive A-Levels. How can a tutor help?

This is a very common goal for parents. A tutor provides targeted support to help your child master key areas of the English curriculum, from unseen poetry to essay structure. Our data shows we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades, giving them a much stronger foundation for their A-Level applications.

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

You can view detailed tutor profiles which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs and make sure it's a good fit. With a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews, you can feel confident you're choosing from the best.

What if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have a first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

How do online lessons actually work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.

How can I be sure the tutors are safe?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has been through a rigorous selection process, and we carry out background checks, including an enhanced DBS check, to ensure they are safe to work with children.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile and use our search filters to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.

How often should my child have a lesson?

It’s completely up to you and your child's needs. Many families find a weekly lesson works well to build momentum, but you can schedule sessions as often as you like. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.

My child finds English difficult and lacks confidence. Can a tutor help?

Yes, this is where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A tutor can create a patient and encouraging environment where your child feels safe to ask questions and make mistakes. This personal support is often key to rebuilding their confidence and enjoyment of the subject.

Do you only offer school subjects?

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find brilliant, vetted tutors on Tutorful.

How long does a typical tutoring session last?

The standard lesson length is one hour, which gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without being too long. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor if you feel your child would benefit from it.

What kind of results can we expect?

While every child is different, our aim is to help them make real, measurable progress. We're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade, and often the biggest change parents see is a boost in their child's confidence and attitude towards learning.
