Hello, my name is Antonia and I’m a fourth year medical student at Newcastle University. I like to keep things fun in lessons, and if one way of teaching isn’t working I’m open to switch it up and find something that works for you! I like to listen to how people find it easiest to learn and adapt my style to them, for example using diagrams for visual learners and repetition and mnemonics for auditory learners. I achieved 11 9s in my GCSEs and 4 A*s at A Level, as well as placing first in my year at University in first year, so I have the academic knowledge needed to tutor in depth and thoroughly. For B...

David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for competitive universities like Durham or Newcastle?
Absolutely. Our tutors specialise in helping students build the deep subject knowledge and exam technique required for top grades. They can focus on the specific skills and confidence your child needs to aim for A-Levels and a place at a Russell Group university.
My child wants to go to Newcastle Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary English GCSE grade?
Yes. A strong GCSE in English is often a key requirement for popular A-Level courses. A tutor can provide targeted support on your child's set texts, exam board requirements, and coursework to help them secure the grade they need for their first-choice college.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can view detailed tutor profiles which include their experience, qualifications, and an introductory video. Reading reviews from other parents is also a great way to get a feel for their teaching style. You can even message them for free before booking to ensure they're a good fit.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have a 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 can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
One-to-one lessons create a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. By working at their own pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them overcome learning blocks and start to see English as a subject they can succeed in.
How much does an online English tutor in Tyne and Wear cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, a shared whiteboard for working through problems together, and a way to share documents. It’s a simple, effective, and convenient way to learn from home.
My child is struggling with a specific text, like 'An Inspector Calls'. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. The beauty of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons are completely tailored to your child's needs. The tutor can dedicate entire sessions to character analysis, key themes, or quote revision for any specific book, poem, or play on their curriculum.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can also find tutors to help your child learn a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or even skills like coding.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor if needed – it’s completely flexible.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying is simple and secure. After each lesson is complete, your payment is processed automatically through the platform using your saved card details. You'll never need to handle cash and can easily track all your payments online.
