Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for Colchester grammar schools like CRGS or CCHSG. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have experience helping children with the specific requirements for competitive grammar schools. You can use our filters to find tutors with proven experience in entrance exams, and you can message them beforehand to discuss your child's needs.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Essex. Can a tutor help with A-Levels and UCAS applications?
Yes. We have many A-Level specialists who can provide in-depth subject support to help your child achieve the grades they need. Many tutors also offer guidance on personal statements and the UCAS application process, giving your child valuable support as they prepare for university.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in West Mersea?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals—whether that's 11+ prep or GCSE support—to find someone your child will connect with.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level. This transparency allows you to find an expert tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden fees.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We also interview our tutors and verify their ID and qualifications, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can work wonders for confidence. When your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement, they start to understand that it's okay not to know everything. Tutors celebrate small wins, which helps build self-belief over time.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a secure and engaging space designed to make online learning feel just as personal as being in the same room.
Is it just for core school subjects, or can you help with other skills?
It's for much more than just school subjects! While we have experts in everything from Primary Maths to A-Level Physics, you can also find tutors for musical instruments like guitar, languages, coding, and even professional skills. It's all about helping your child pursue their passions.
How long does it take to see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach means progress can happen quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. For academic results, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade with regular lessons.
Can tutoring help with specific topics, not just the whole subject?
Definitely. That's one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. If your child understands most of their Maths but gets stuck on fractions, or needs help analysing a specific poem for English, their tutor can create lessons that focus on exactly those areas.
What makes Tutorful different from other platforms?
Parents and students trust us because of our focus on quality and support. We carefully select our tutors—only 1 in 8 who apply are accepted—and provide a dedicated online classroom. With over 4,100 reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, we're proud to have helped over 200,000 students feel happier and more confident in their learning.
