For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for Coleg y Cymoedd?
Absolutely. Our tutors specialise in helping students secure the specific grades they need for their next steps. They can focus on the exam board your child's school uses and target the skills needed to move from a C to a B grade or higher, strengthening their college application.
My child hopes to study at Cardiff or Swansea University. Can a tutor help?
Yes. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students prepare for the demands of A-Level study and university applications. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to stand out and succeed in higher education.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and see ratings from other parents just like you. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking to ensure you find the perfect match.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 tuition cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your family's budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective, accepting just 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to upload documents, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work through texts and past papers together.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-belief one lesson at a time.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE texts like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors can provide expert, focused support on the specific texts, poems, and plays your child is studying for their GCSEs. They can help them analyse key themes, characters, and quotes to improve their exam performance.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which most families find works perfectly. However, you can arrange longer or shorter sessions directly with your tutor to fit your child's concentration span and your family's schedule.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're experts in core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have talented tutors who can teach a huge range of other skills, from learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish to coding in Python.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you can book your first session straight away.
