These aren't just skills for passing an exam – they're the skills that open doors to the best apprenticeships and university courses, right here in the South West and beyond.

The Personalised Computing Support Every Plymouth Student Deserves

Imagine your child working with a tutor who not only knows their subject inside-out, but who also gets how your child learns. A mentor who can spot the exact moment a concept clicks, celebrate their progress, and gently guide them through the tricky parts of coding or theory. This isn't just about getting answers; it's about building the confidence to find the answers for themselves. That's the one-to-one partnership we believe in. Each online session is built entirely around your child's needs. If they're struggling to get their head around object-oriented programming, that's the focus. If they want to explore web development beyond the curriculum, their tutor can create a project that excites them. It's this tailored approach that makes learning stick, helping your child make real, visible progress. It’s why over 4,100 parents have rated us 4.6/5 stars. Because it’s all online, your family gets the ultimate flexibility. No more rushing to a tutor's house after school; your child can learn from the comfort of home, at a time that fits around your life. It means your Plymouth student can connect with a Python specialist from Manchester or a cybersecurity expert from Edinburgh. You get access to the best, not just who's nearby, giving your child the advantage they deserve.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child's school doesn't have a specialist Computing teacher. Can a tutor bridge that gap?

Absolutely. This is one of the main reasons parents in Plymouth come to us. An expert online tutor can provide the focused, specialist knowledge that might be missing, ensuring your child isn't at a disadvantage and can build a strong foundation for their future studies and career.

We're worried our child can't keep up with students from schools with strong tech departments. Can online tutoring help?

Yes, it's the perfect way to level the playing field. Our tutors provide personalised, one-to-one attention that builds your child's skills at their own pace. They can focus on the exact areas your child finds challenging, giving them the confidence and ability to compete for the same opportunities.

How can a tutor help my child see a future in Plymouth's growing tech industry?

Our tutors are often professionals and university students passionate about their field. They can act as brilliant mentors, sharing real-world insights into the tech industry, discussing career paths, and connecting what your child is learning to exciting local opportunities in Plymouth and beyond.

Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a practical subject like Computing?

It is, and in many ways, it's even better. Tutors can use screen sharing to code alongside your child, use digital whiteboards to map out concepts, and share resources instantly. It’s interactive, engaging, and teaches valuable remote working skills, all from the comfort of home.

What happens if my child doesn't click with their first Computing tutor?

We know that the right fit is crucial for success. If for any reason it doesn't feel right with the first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It's that simple.

How much does online Computing tutoring cost for a student in Plymouth?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15 an hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study (e.g., GCSE, A-Level). You can browse tutors' profiles and filter by price to find the perfect fit for your budget.

How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?

We're very selective. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and has their qualifications verified to ensure we offer the highest standard of teaching for your child.

My child is preparing for their GCSEs. Can a tutor help with a specific exam board?

Yes. Many of our tutors are experts in specific exam boards like AQA, OCR, and Edexcel. You can check their profiles for this information or use our search filters to find a tutor with the exact experience you need for your child's exams.

Does my child need any special software for the lessons?

All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is built into our website, so there's no complex software to download. It's designed to be simple and easy to use.

Is tutoring just about coding, or can my child learn about game design or cybersecurity?

Our tutors cover a huge range of topics within Computing. Beyond the school curriculum, you can find tutors who specialise in everything from game development and web design to cybersecurity and data science. It's a great way for your child to explore their passions.

Can we find a tutor for a primary school child who is just starting with Computing?

Of course. We have wonderful tutors who specialise in making Computing fun and accessible for younger learners. They use engaging projects and a friendly approach to build a positive and strong foundation in digital skills from an early age.

How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?

The standard lesson length is one hour, which most students find is the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
