Personalised Support, Designed Around Your Child
For parents new to tutoring, the idea of finding the perfect match can feel overwhelming. You don’t need to become an expert in tutor selection; we handle that. Tell us about your child – their strengths, their challenges, and what they need – and we thoughtfully match them with a tutor. This isn’t a random pick; it’s a considered recommendation designed to find someone who doesn't just know their subject, but also knows how to connect and build confidence.
Forget imagining just another video call. Tutorful’s interactive online classroom is purpose-built for learning. Your child and their tutor work together on a shared whiteboard, solving problems in real-time with annotation tools to highlight and explain. Every session is recorded, meaning they can revisit tricky concepts before an exam, ensuring every lesson is active, engaging, and genuinely collaborative.
Learning online means your child in Torbay can access the very best tutors from across the UK, without any travel or disruption to your family’s busy schedule. Sessions fit around school, sports, and family life – whenever works best for you. And if that first tutor isn't quite the right fit, we’ll happily cover the cost of a new first session, because finding that connection is what truly matters.

Find a tutor Terence L
Terence has been working with my daughter for a couple of months now. He is a brilliant teacher of all 3 sciences for her GCSE’s. He’s passionate and clearly loves teaching, he works to her syllabus’, he is flexible, patient (with me too!) and fun. He scaffolds learning and makes sure the knowledge sticks. He is covering exam questions and exam technique with her as she goes. I’m looking forward to seeing how she gets on at school from working with Terence as she already feels more confident. Recurring lessons in place! Thanks Terence.

Lucy F
I went from grade 2 in english language in my mocks to a grade 7 in 7 months of tutoring. Each lesson had been incredibly useful. By the time of my exams, Lucy's predictions for both the english language and literature papers on what the questions would be on, and what poem would appear on the paper, had also been incredibly useful. As her predictions had been almost entirely correct and the preparation for the paper using them had meant i was fully prepared for the questions that came up, and prepared for any other questions on potential themes, topics or poems that could come up.

Sarah N
Our experience with Sarah has been exceptional from the very first session. She is a highly organised, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring tutor who knows exactly how to make learning both effective and enjoyable. My son looks forward to every lesson with her.
Sarah’s teaching methods are excellent. Her background as a qualified teacher is clear in the way she explains concepts and adapts her approach to suit the student’s needs.
What impressed us even more is how quickly my daughter currently in Year 12 studying A‑Level subjects recognised the quality of Sarah’s teaching. After seeing her brother’s, she immediately asked to start sessions with Sarah as well.
Communication is fast, professional, and friendly. She is reliable, well‑prepared, and clearly committed to helping her students succeed.
I highly recommend Sarah to any parent or student looking for a tutor who combines expertise, patience, and a genuinely supportive teaching style.

Izzy S
Izzy tutored my daughter in English language and English literature GCSE. She had been predicted two grade 6s but achieved a grade 7 and a grade 8 and I have no doubt that Izzy played a huge part in her success. Izzy is an extremely kind, patient and supportive tutor who prepares every lesson meticulously and provides both challenging but engaging tasks. She really understands the mark scheme of all the papers so is able to ensure her students truly grasp what is actually being assessed. I can absolutely recommend Izzy as a tutor.
