Lorrayne N
Lorrayne was extremely kind, patient and understanding when working with my son. He has cerebral palsy, selective mutism and anxiety, so finding the right tutor who truly understands his needs is very important to us.
She took the time to speak with me in detail to understand Isaac’s background and the challenges he faces in school. I really appreciated how knowledgeable she is about supporting children with anxiety and communication difficulties. Isaac felt comfortable during the session and was able to engage with the activities she set, which was very encouraging for us.
Lorrayne also shared helpful ideas and strategies to support Isaac’s communication and confidence, which showed how experienced she is working with children with additional needs.
We are really looking forward to continuing lessons with her and feel confident that Isaac will benefit from her support.

Sakin I
Sakin is an amazing tutor. I’ve had a few tutors before but her approach to teaching and helping me understand is different and much more helpful. We started from the very foundations of math, quickly progressing to complex A-level topics within a short timeframe thanks to her. When i’m confused or unsure about a question, she goes through it step by step making sure I understand every step, a lot of back and forth until it makes sense - which in my experience is something other tutors lacked significantly. If you are considering Sakin as a tutor for yourself or someone you know then do not hesitate, I would 100% recommend her.

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.
