Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Ysgol Maesydderwen. Can a tutor help them get the English grade for NPTC Group colleges?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target the specific grades they need for college entry. They can focus on the GCSE English curriculum, strengthening weak areas and building confidence to help your child secure a place on their desired A-Level course in Neath or Brecon.
We're hoping for a place at Swansea or Cardiff University. How can an English tutor support this goal?
A strong English A-Level is vital for applications to competitive universities. A tutor can provide deeper subject knowledge and also help with crucial skills for university applications, such as personal statement writing and interview practice, to make your child's application stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect fit. You can read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before you book. This helps you find someone your child will really connect with.
What happens if we don't get on with the first tutor?
We want you to be completely happy. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online English tutoring cost in Ystradgynlais?
Our tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and level, so you can easily find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are your tutors properly vetted?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
Sometimes, all a child needs is a place where they feel safe to say, 'I don't understand'. In a one-to-one lesson, a tutor can patiently explain concepts in a new way, celebrate small wins, and help your child see that they are capable of succeeding.
Can tutoring really improve my child's GCSE grade?
Yes, it can make a big difference. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and our focused approach has been shown to improve GCSE results by up to two grades. It's about giving your child the personalised attention they need to shine.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's simple to use and means they can learn from an expert tutor from the comfort of home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week works best, especially for keeping up momentum with schoolwork. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for you and your child directly with your tutor.
What if my child's schedule is already really busy?
That's the great thing about online tutoring. You're not limited to tutors in your immediate area, so you have a much wider choice of available times, including evenings and weekends. You can find a regular slot that fits perfectly around school, clubs, and family life.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or music?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core subjects like English and Maths, your child can also explore hobbies and passions like learning the guitar, coding in Python, or even speaking a new language.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
