Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is preparing for the 11+ for Buckinghamshire grammar schools. Can we find a specialist tutor?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have extensive experience helping children with the specific requirements for the Buckinghamshire selection tests, including verbal and non-verbal reasoning. You can use our filters to find tutors with proven experience in this area.

We're aiming for top GCSE grades at Lord Williams's School. Can a tutor help?

Of course. While our tutors are from all over the UK, they are experts in the national curriculum for GCSEs. They can tailor lessons to the specific exam board your child's school uses, helping them consolidate their classroom learning, revise effectively, and develop the exam technique needed to aim for the highest grades.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?

Finding the right person is key. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It’s all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child will click with.

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

We know that the right fit is essential for learning. 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.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has had their ID and qualifications verified. We are very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space where your child is the sole focus. They can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class, and the tutor can praise their progress and gently correct mistakes. This personalised encouragement and seeing their own skills improve is a huge confidence booster.

How much does online tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and subject. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget, giving you complete control over how much you spend.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a microphone, a camera, and a stable internet connection.

How quickly will we see an improvement in our child's grades?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with our tutors. The focused, one-to-one support helps to tackle problem areas much more quickly than in a classroom setting.

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

While we have experts across all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have tutors who can teach practical and creative skills. You can find tutors for everything from learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python.

Can we have lessons during evenings or weekends?

Yes. One of the biggest benefits of online tutoring is its flexibility. Our tutors offer a wide range of availability, including evenings, weekends, and school holidays, so you can easily schedule lessons around your family's commitments.

How do I pay for lessons?

Payments are handled securely and simply through the platform. You add your card details to your account, and payment is taken automatically 24 hours after each lesson is completed. There's no need for cash or awkward conversations.
