Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at St Bartholomew's or a grammar school like Kendrick. Can I find a tutor with specific 11+ entrance exam experience?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in preparing children for specific entrance exams, including the West Berkshire 11+. You can view their profiles to see their experience with grammar and independent school entry and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's goals.
How can a tutor help my child with the pressure of the West Berkshire 11+?
Our tutors provide a calm and encouraging environment, away from classroom pressures. They can help your child build confidence by breaking down tricky topics into manageable steps, practising past papers, and developing effective exam techniques, making the whole process feel much less daunting.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. 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 tutoring just for academic subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects, you can also find experts to help your child learn a musical instrument, master a new language, get into coding, or develop a new hobby. It's all about helping them pursue their passions.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can easily filter tutors by subject, level, and price. Each tutor has a detailed profile with a video, student reviews, and their qualifications. We recommend watching a few videos and messaging tutors to ask about their approach before booking to find the perfect match.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, starting from around £20 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can see the price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
How do online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so your child and their tutor can work together just like they would in person. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help if my child is struggling with confidence?
Definitely. One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor is one of the best ways to build confidence. When your child starts to understand topics they previously found difficult, their self-esteem grows, and this often has a positive impact on their schoolwork in general.
How effective is tutoring with Tutorful?
We're proud that 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and we have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. For GCSE students, our tutoring can help improve results by up to two grades. It's a proven way to help your child reach their full potential.
How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview them to ensure they have the right experience and approach. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most families start with one session a week, but you can arrange more frequent lessons during exam periods or less frequent top-up sessions as needed. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.
How quickly can we get started?
It's very quick. You can search for tutors, message them, and book your first lesson today. Many tutors can offer a session within a few days, so your child can get the support they need right away.
