The Right Programming Support for Your Child's Future

The right tutor doesn't just teach code; they understand your child's specific goals. Are they fascinated by game design? Intrigued by app development? Our tutors find that spark and use it to explain complex ideas like algorithms and data structures. It’s a partnership that turns 'I can't do this' into the thrill of seeing their own code run perfectly for the first time. Imagine lessons that go beyond the textbook. Your child could be building their first simple website, debugging a programme that simulates a real-world problem, or getting to grips with a new programming language. We've seen how this tailored approach helps concepts click into place, building the confidence they need to tackle challenging coursework and aim higher for their future. Because it's all online, it fits seamlessly into your family's life in Leicester. No extra travel after school, just focused, high-quality learning from home. This flexibility means your child can connect with a specialist from anywhere in the UK – a software developer or a university researcher – giving them access to expertise that simply might not be available down the road. It’s expert support, made simple.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a computing degree at the University of Leicester or De Montfort. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists with university-level experience. They can help your child not only excel in their A-Level or BTEC studies but also build the practical portfolio and problem-solving skills that make a UCAS application truly stand out for competitive courses.

My child's school in Leicester only covers the basics. Can a tutor help them catch up and get ahead?

Yes, this is exactly where our tutors excel. They can create a personalised plan to fill in any gaps in your child's knowledge and then build on that foundation, introducing them to more advanced concepts and programming languages that might not be covered in the school curriculum.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple and effective. Your child connects with their tutor via video call in our online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, file sharing, and everything they need for a productive lesson. They can learn from the comfort of your home in Leicester, at a time that works for you.

What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?

We know how important the right fit is. That’s why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

Are your tutors qualified to teach Computer Programming?

Yes. We have a rigorous selection process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Many of our programming tutors are software developers, computer science graduates, or experienced teachers who are passionate about their subject and brilliant at explaining it.

My child has never written a line of code. Is tutoring suitable for complete beginners?

Definitely. One-to-one tutoring is the perfect environment for a beginner. The tutor can go at your child's pace, starting with the absolute fundamentals and building their confidence step-by-step in a supportive, encouraging way.

How much do online Computer Programming tutors cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete flexibility to find someone who fits your budget.

How many lessons will my child need to see progress?

It varies for each student. Some parents book a few sessions to prepare for an exam, whilst others prefer regular weekly lessons to build skills over time. The great thing about one-to-one tutoring is that the progress is often much faster than in a group setting.

Can you help with specific programming languages like Python or C++?

Yes. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in the exact programming language your child needs help with, whether it's Python, Java, C++, JavaScript, or something else entirely.

Do you offer tutoring in other subjects, like Maths or Physics?

We do! We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, from core academic subjects like Maths, English and the Sciences, to music, languages, and even life skills. You can find expert support for all your child's learning needs on our platform.

What do we need to get started with online lessons?

All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complex software to install.

How much do online Computer Programming tutors cost?
