Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child attends a school in Witham. Can a tutor tailor lessons to their specific curriculum?

Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in supporting students across the UK curriculum. When you message a tutor, you can mention your child's school and what they're working on. The tutor can then plan lessons to complement their schoolwork, helping them feel more confident in class.

We're considering the 11+ for grammar schools in Essex. Can we find a tutor experienced in this?

Yes, many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. You can use our filters to find tutors with specific experience in entrance exams, including those for Essex grammar schools. They can help your child build the necessary reading comprehension and verbal reasoning skills.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk, and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.

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

Start by watching their introductory videos and reading reviews from other parents. This gives you a great feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask about their experience with your child's age group and specific reading goals.

How much does an online Reading tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, and you can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.

How does online tutoring work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child to collaborate with their tutor in real-time, just as they would in person.

How can a tutor help my child with reading confidence?

A one-to-one setting provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors offer constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which can make a huge difference to a child's self-esteem and their willingness to engage with reading.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can join the platform. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.

Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like Reading?

Not at all! While we have experts in core subjects from primary school to university level, we also have tutors for a wide range of skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor for them here.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your family.

Can a tutor help if my child has dyslexia?

Yes, many of our tutors have specific experience and qualifications in supporting children with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including dyslexia. You can use the search filters to find tutors with this expertise or mention it in your initial message to them.

How do I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also message them at any time to discuss progress and goals. Seeing your child's confidence grow and their school results improve is often the clearest sign that tutoring is working.
