Joe T
Joe has been delivering 11+ prep lessons to my daughter over the past several months.
Joe is an excellent tutor. He is patient, clear in his explanations, and very knowledgeable about the 11+ curriculum. My daughter has grown significantly in both confidence and ability, and she genuinely looks forward to her lessons with him, which speaks volumes about his approach and manner.
Joe is well organised and supportive, and we have seen clear progress made.
I would highly recommend Joe to any parent looking for a dedicated, effective, and encouraging 11+ tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends a school in Sydenham. Can we find a tutor familiar with their curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience with the curriculum used in schools across London. You can read their profiles to see their specific experience or send them a message to ask before you book.
We live in Sydenham, so does the tutor have to be local?
Not at all. The great thing about online tutoring is that your child can connect with the very best tutors from across the UK, not just those nearby. This gives you a much wider choice to find the perfect personality and expertise for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to ensure it's the right fit. 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. It’s part of our First Lesson Guarantee.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
Every tutor has a detailed profile where you can see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. You can also watch their intro video to get a sense of their personality and send them a message to chat before you book a lesson.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles with no hidden fees or subscriptions. This allows you to find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all. While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects from 11+ to degree level, your child can also learn practical skills like coding, a new language, or even how to play the guitar. It's a great way to support their hobbies and personal development.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
A one-to-one lesson provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. When they start to understand a topic they found difficult, their self-esteem grows, and that newfound confidence often carries over into the classroom.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and has tools like an interactive whiteboard to make learning engaging.
Can a tutor help with specific exam preparation like GCSEs or the 11+?
Yes, many of our tutors are specialists in exam preparation. They can help your child with revision techniques, exam strategies, and building subject knowledge to help them feel prepared and confident on exam day.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to focus on a topic without losing concentration. However, you can discuss lesson length directly with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Tutors provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. Most importantly, you'll see it for yourself – in their growing confidence, their attitude towards their schoolwork, and their ability to tackle problems they once found tricky.
