We hear it from parents all across Kent. Your child is bright, they're doing well at school, but there's that nagging worry about the Kent Test.

Imagine connecting your child with an online tutor who specialises in exactly this. From your home in Kent, they can work one-to-one with an expert who builds not just skills, but the confidence to walk into that exam feeling ready. That's the partnership we offer.

Beyond the Classroom: Building the Skills for What Comes Next

Primary school is about so much more than times tables and spelling. It's where the building blocks for secondary school and beyond are laid. It's about seeing a tricky maths problem not as a wall, but a puzzle to be solved. It’s about learning to express ideas clearly and persuasively. For many in Kent, it’s also about preparing for the specific challenges of the 11+, giving your child the best chance to secure a place at a brilliant school and thrive when they get there.

A Tutoring Partnership That Truly Understands Your Child

This is about more than just getting the right answers. It's about finding a partner who sees how your child thinks. A great tutor takes the time to understand what makes them tick, what makes them anxious, and what makes their eyes light up. They spot that moment of hesitation and gently guide them towards the 'aha!' moment, turning 'I can't do this' into 'I've got this'. Together, they’ll create a plan that’s built entirely around your child. If it’s non-verbal reasoning that’s causing trouble, the sessions will focus on breaking down patterns and building visual logic. If it’s about managing time in an exam, they’ll practise with past papers in a supportive space. Each lesson is a step-by-step process of building skills, layer by layer, until your child feels secure and capable. And it all happens online, fitting seamlessly into your family's life in Kent. There's no travel, no rushing after school – just effective, one-to-one support from the comfort of home. It means your child can learn with a leading 11+ specialist from anywhere in the UK, giving them access to the very best support, right when they need it.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can an online tutor specifically help my child prepare for the Kent Test?

Yes, absolutely. We have many highly-rated tutors with specific experience in preparing students for the Kent Test. They understand the format and can focus on building skills in verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, English, and maths, as well as crucial exam techniques and time management.

My child's school in Kent is good, but I'm worried it's not enough for the 11+. How does tutoring fit in?

We see tutoring as a partnership that complements school. Whilst their school provides a fantastic broad education, our tutors offer the focused, one-to-one attention on the specific reasoning and problem-solving skills that aren't always covered in depth in the classroom. It's the perfect way to 'top-up' their learning.

Is online tutoring as effective as having someone visit our home in Kent?

Many families find it's even better. Your child learns in a familiar, comfortable environment, and you save time and stress on travel. Crucially, it gives your child in Kent access to the best tutors from across the UK, not just those who live locally. You can find a specialist who is a perfect match for your child's needs.

What if my child doesn't click with the first tutor we try?

Finding the right personality fit is so important. If it's not a perfect match after the first lesson, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We'll listen to your feedback and cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

How are your Primary tutors vetted?

We're incredibly selective because your child deserves the best. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed, and has their qualifications verified to ensure they meet our high standards for subject expertise and teaching ability.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard and video chat, making lessons engaging and easy to join.

How long is a typical session for a primary-aged child?

Most sessions for Primary students last for one hour. We find this is the perfect amount of time to make real progress without losing focus. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor.

My child isn't preparing for the 11+. Can a tutor still help them?

Of course. Our Primary tutors are here to help every child, whatever their goal. They can provide support with core maths and English skills, build reading confidence, help with homework, or prepare them for their SATs. It's all about their individual journey.

How do we find the right tutor for our child?

You can use our search filters to find tutors with experience in the areas your child needs help with, such as 11+ preparation. You can read reviews from other parents and watch introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to ensure they're the right fit.

Can we get regular feedback on our child's progress?

Yes, communication is key to our partnership approach. Your tutor will provide regular updates on your child's progress, highlighting areas where they are excelling and where they need more focus. You can message your tutor at any time through our platform.

How much does online Primary tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.

How long is a typical session for a primary-aged child?

Yes, many of our tutors offer flexible scheduling, including during school holidays. This can be a brilliant time for your child to consolidate their learning or get some focused practice in before an important exam like the Kent Test.
