Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for a grammar school in Essex. Can we find a specialist tutor?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience helping students prepare for the 11+ exam, including the format used by top Essex grammar schools like Chelmsford County High School for Girls. You can view their profiles, read reviews from other parents, and message them before booking to find the perfect match.
Can a tutor help my child with their application to a competitive university like the University of Essex?
Yes, we have many tutors who specialise in university applications. They can help your child with everything from personal statement writing and interview practice to reaching the A-Level grades they need for their chosen course, giving them the best possible chance of securing a place.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors by subject and level. Each tutor has a detailed profile with their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their intro video and messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the right fit. That’s why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview them to ensure they have the right subject expertise and teaching skills. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
Can a tutor really help my child's confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. A one-to-one setting provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As they start to understand difficult topics, their self-belief grows, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork and beyond.
Is tutoring just for core school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
It's for both! While we have fantastic tutors for Maths, English, and Science, you can also find experts in everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding in Python. It's a great way to support your child's hobbies and interests too.
How do the online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space to share documents. It’s simple to use and means your child can learn effectively and safely from home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. Many families start with one session a week, especially when preparing for exams like GCSEs. You can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor.
What kind of results can we expect?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our approach gets great results. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. Our goal is to help your child feel more capable and confident in their studies.
How do I know Tutorful is a trusted platform?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students on their learning journey. We have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews from parents just like you, which we hope gives you confidence in the support we provide.
