Online Tutoring for Basic IT Skills
It's frustrating when schoolwork assumes IT skills your child doesn't have. Spreadsheets, presentations, even organising files — it can feel like they're a step behind, and it’s hard to know how to help. But even when you can't teach them the software, you can still help them.
You don't need to become an expert. Our Tutor Finder asks a few questions about what your child needs, and we'll recommend the right person to help them make sense of it all. No scrolling, just a genuine recommendation.

When technology starts working for them, not against them
It’s about more than just knowing which button to click. It’s the quiet confidence that comes from feeling capable. When your child isn't fighting with formatting or lost in folders, they can finally focus on the actual work.
That confidence translates into everything they do — completing homework without frustration, and preparing for the demands of sixth form, university, and beyond. They stop seeing technology as a barrier.

Jenika is a wonderfully patient, kind and thorough tutor. My two children (8 and 10) love learning computer skills with her and have come on very well. I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough. She has totally reversed their dislike of using computers! Thank you :)

Mohammad A
I am finding Mohammed is very responsive to my needs and very able to provide the help I need. He is a good communicator. His approach is very efficient - meaning more learning/help in the hour we have. No problems have emerged accept that the Tutorful software isn’t very good. But that has not held us back.
