Iain M
Iain has helped to tutor my 10 year old for the last 3 months to help prepare him for a common entrance exam. My son had all the enthusiasm to engage in additional lessons that a typical 10 year old would have but Iain was quick to figure my son out and won him over so lessons never became a chore.
Iain identified the areas that needed improvement and boosted my son’s confidence. My son went from scoring 15/40 in weekly maths tests to 35/40.
We are yet to get the results of the exam but he helped my son’s confidence hugely and has helped to consolidate the skills he has been taught at primary school. Thankyou so much.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Do your tutors have experience with specific entrance exams like the 11+, 13+ or Common Entrance?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in school entrance preparation. You can use our search filters to find tutors that have specific experience in the 11+, Common Entrance, and exams for specific independent schools, alongside their reviews from other parents.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you're not completely satisfied with the first session for any reason, just email our team at support@tutorful.co.uk, and we will cover the cost.
Can the tutor help with other school subjects too?
Yes, many of our tutors are qualified to teach a range of subjects in addition to admissions process preparation. If your child also needs support in their regular schoolwork, you can often arrange this with the same tutor for great consistency.
How do you select your independent school admissions tutors?
We have a rigorous selection process. Every applicant is vetted to make sure they have the right qualifications and teaching experience to be a Tutorful tutor. We only accept 1 in every 8 applicants, so you can be confident you're choosing from the very best tutors in the UK.
Can a tutor help my child with the interview part of the application?
Yes, this is a key area where our tutors can provide support. If your child is preparing for an interview, their tutor will carry out mock interviews to help them practice articulating their thoughts, speak confidently about their interests, and tackle common questions.
My child is feeling overwhelmed by the pressure. Can a tutor help with their confidence?
Definitely. Our tutors are experts at creating a positive and encouraging learning environment. By breaking down difficult topics into manageable steps and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild academic self-esteem and show your child that they are capable of success.
How much does tuition for school entrance cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically range from £25 to £55 per hour, depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.
When is the best time to start tutoring for school entrance exams?
This can vary depending on your child and the schools you are targeting. Many parents start preparing around a year in advance to allow plenty of time to cover the material without rushing, but a good tutor can create an effective plan even on a shorter timescale.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom that features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to upload and share documents such as past exam papers. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
How are lessons tailored for my child?
Before the first session, you can message your tutor to discuss your child's needs and the schools they’re applying for. The tutor can then create a bespoke learning plan that targets the skills and knowledge they need to build, focusing on areas where they need most support.
What subjects are typically covered in independent school entrance exams?
Most selective independent schools test core skills in Maths and English. Many also include Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning tests, which assess logic and problem-solving abilities, but the exact format varies from school to school.
