Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're preparing for the 11+ for schools like Pate's or Sir Thomas Rich's. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are familiar with the demands of the Gloucestershire entrance exams. They can help your child build the specific reading comprehension, vocabulary, and verbal reasoning skills needed to feel confident and prepared.

How can a reading tutor help with the Verbal Reasoning part of the Gloucestershire 11+?

Verbal Reasoning is heavily dependent on a wide vocabulary and the ability to understand the relationships between words. A reading tutor can work with your child on specific exercises to build these skills, using techniques that make learning new words fun and practising with exam-style questions.

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

You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. Look for someone whose experience matches your child’s goals, whether that's 11+ preparation or general confidence building, and whose personality you think will be a good fit.

How much does online Reading tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £15 to £35 per hour depending on their experience. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

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

One-to-one attention in a safe, supportive environment makes a huge difference. Tutors can break down difficult topics into manageable steps and celebrate small wins, helping your child see their own progress and start to believe in their abilities.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.

What happens in a typical online session?

Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing. A tutor might work through a practice paper with your child, analyse a piece of text together, or play vocabulary-building games.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to an exam. You can discuss what's best with your chosen tutor.

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

It's for everything! While we have experts for core subjects like Reading, Maths and Science, we also have talented tutors who can teach your child skills like coding, playing the guitar, learning a new language, or even public speaking.

My child finds reading boring. Can a tutor help with that?

Yes. A great tutor can bring reading to life by finding books and texts that match your child's interests, whether that's football, fantasy, or science fiction. By connecting reading to their passions, they can help turn it from a chore into a pleasure.

How do I know if my child is making progress?

Our tutors provide regular feedback to help you see how your child is getting on. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress and goals. Many parents tell us they see a noticeable improvement in their child's confidence and school results.
