Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're preparing for the 11+ for grammar schools in Sutton and Kingston. Can I find a specialist tutor?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in 11+ preparation and are familiar with the specific requirements for the Sutton and Kingston entrance exams. You can filter your search for tutors with 11+ experience and even mention your target schools in your first message to find the perfect match.

My child is aiming for a top London university like Imperial or UCL. Can a tutor help with their A-Levels?

Yes, definitely. We have many experienced A-Level tutors, including subject specialists who are graduates from top universities themselves. They can provide targeted support to help your child master their subjects, refine their exam technique, and achieve the high grades needed for competitive university applications.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

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

It's for both! While we have experts in all academic subjects from primary to degree level, we also have tutors for music, languages, coding, and other hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn the guitar or get ahead with Python, you can find a brilliant tutor to help.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?

You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications on their profile. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable with.

How much does online tutoring in Merton cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, but typically range from £25 to £50 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, so you can easily find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.

How does the online classroom work?

Our online classroom is simple to use. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child just needs a computer or tablet with a microphone and internet connection. It's a secure and effective way to learn from home.

How do I know the tutors are safe?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on Tutorful has passed a background check and has had their ID verified. We interview our tutors and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, ensuring you get the highest quality and safest experience.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

Often, a lack of confidence comes from small gaps in understanding. A tutor provides a safe, one-to-one space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. By patiently working through problems together, tutors help your child experience those 'aha!' moments that build lasting self-belief.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

Most sessions are one hour long, which we find is perfect for keeping students engaged and making real progress. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.

Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?

No, there's no long-term commitment. You can book lessons week-by-week or book a block if you prefer – it's completely flexible and up to you. You can pause or stop lessons at any time.

Can I track my child's progress?

Yes. The best way is to have regular, brief chats with your child's tutor. They can provide feedback on what they've been working on, highlight areas of improvement, and discuss the plan for upcoming sessions. It’s a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
