Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for Computer Science at Durham University. Can a tutor really help them stand out?

Absolutely. This is exactly where our tutors excel. They go beyond the curriculum taught in schools like Durham Johnston or St Leonard's to help students build a strong portfolio, explore advanced topics, and prepare for interviews. They provide the mentorship and depth needed to turn a strong application into an exceptional one.

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

It’s so important that they have a great connection. That's why we have our satisfaction guarantee. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk, and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.

How does online Computing tutoring actually work?

It’s simple and effective. Lessons take place via video call in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes an interactive whiteboard perfect for mapping out code and concepts. Your child can share their screen to work on projects in real-time with their tutor. All they need is a laptop or computer and a good internet connection.

Is tutoring just for passing exams or can it help with practical projects?

It’s for both! Many students come to us for help with building practical skills and creating a portfolio. A tutor can act as a mentor for a personal project, guiding them through the process of developing an app, creating a website, or exploring a new programming language—the kind of experience that universities and employers love to see.

What kind of qualifications do your Computing tutors have?

Our tutors are genuine experts. Many are university lecturers, software developers, or hold PhDs in Computer Science. We carefully vet every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, ensuring your child learns from someone with deep subject knowledge and a passion for teaching. You can view each tutor's full profile and experience before booking.

Does my child need to travel from our home in County Durham for lessons?

Not at all! That's one of the biggest benefits. All our tutoring is online, so your child can learn from the comfort and convenience of your own home. It saves you travel time and gives your family more flexibility, whilst connecting your child with top UK specialists.

My child is interested in tech, but maybe not just pure Computing. What else do you offer?

We offer a huge range of subjects! Beyond Computing, we have tutors for everything from Maths and Physics to Graphic Design, Music Production, and even Business Studies. If your child has a passion, we can likely find an expert online tutor to help them explore it.

How do we find the right tutor for my child's specific needs?

Our platform makes it easy. You can filter tutors by their specialism—whether it's Python, Java, A-Level coursework help, or university application support. You can read reviews from other parents and message tutors directly to discuss your child's goals before booking to ensure it’s the perfect match.

How often should my child have a tutoring session?

This is completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. For ongoing support and portfolio building, a weekly session is often ideal. If they're preparing for a specific exam or need help with a project, you might arrange more frequent sessions. You can discuss the best approach directly with your chosen tutor.

How much does online Computing tutoring cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can view each tutor's hourly rate on their profile. There are no contracts or hidden fees, and you simply pay as you go for the lessons you book, giving you complete control.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Tutors provide regular feedback, and you can message them anytime through the platform. The best evidence, though, is seeing your child's confidence grow. You'll notice them tackling problems more independently, talking with more excitement about their projects, and feeling more prepared for their next steps.

My child is interested in tech, but maybe not just pure Computing. What else do you offer?

Whilst our tutors are based across the UK, many have experience in or knowledge of regional tech hubs. The key benefit is that your child in County Durham can connect online with a specialist in any field—be it game development, AI, or cybersecurity—regardless of geography, giving them a much broader perspective than a purely local search would allow.
