Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Do your tutors have experience with the Sevenoaks School entrance exams and interview process?
Yes, we have many tutors that specialise in preparing students for competitive school entrance exams, including the specific format and requirements for Sevenoaks. You can use our platform to view their experience and message them directly to ensure they are the right fit for your child.
What is your First Lesson Guarantee?
We want you to be completely happy with your choice of tutor, so the First Lesson Guarantee means that if you don't feel the first session was a good fit, we'll cover the cost. Just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk.
Can we cover other subjects too?
Absolutely, and this is another great benefit of a tutor; their sessions can cover exactly what your child needs. While your focus might be admissions preparation, they can support your child across the curriculum in subjects like Maths, English, Science, and more.
How does tutoring help with the interview and group task stages?
Our tutors can do mock interviews, helping your child practise articulating their thoughts clearly and confidently. They can also work on problem-solving and communication skills that are vital for succeeding in the group assessment tasks.
How much do Sevenoaks admissions tutors cost?
The price of our tutors varies based on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to choose one that fits your budget. There are absolutely no hidden fees when you use Tutorful.
How do I find the right tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in 11+, 13+ or 16+ entry for independent schools. Read their profiles and reviews from other parents, or message them before booking to discuss your child's needs.
What happens in a typical tutoring session for school entrance?
The tutor will create a personalised plan for your child, so a typical session will look a bit different for everyone. Lessons are likely to include working through past paper questions, developing exam techniques, strengthening core subject knowledge, and running through interview questions and feedback.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It's a simple and effective tool that allows tutors and students to collaborate in real-time, just like they would in person.
Can tutoring help my child demonstrate 'intellectual curiosity'?
Yes, a great tutor does more than just teach exam content. They can inspire a deeper interest in subjects, encourage your child to ask probing questions, and explore topics beyond the curriculum, all of which are hallmarks of the intellectual curiosity that Sevenoaks is looking for.
How many sessions will my child need?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's starting point and goals. You can book a one-off session to tackle a specific problem, or arrange regular weekly lessons in the run-up to the exams. At Tutorful, there are no contracts or minimum commitments.
My child is very anxious about the admissions process. Can a tutor help?
Definitely; the one-to-one support of a reassuring and experienced tutor is fantastic for building confidence. By demystifying the whole admissions process and equipping your child with the skills they need for success, a tutor can help to reduce stress and anxiety for the whole family.
