Hand the evening revision over to a Functional Skills tutor

Functional Skills are essential for apprenticeships and jobs, but trying to teach your own child the practicalities of maths or English can be a recipe for stress. You don't need to be the instructor. By hiring a specialist tutor, you hand the academic responsibility over to a professional who knows exactly how to break down the curriculum. This lets you step back and simply be a parent again, while your child gets focused, one-to-one support from someone who knows how to make these everyday skills click.

Finding a mentor who understands the specific requirements of Functional Skills shouldn't be a guessing game. Our Tutor Match service uses the information you provide to find a genuine fit. You simply answer a few questions about your child—their current level, the exam board they are sitting, and how they learn best.
We then provide a handpicked shortlist of tutors based on those exact needs. We only accept 1 in 8 applicants to our platform, so you aren't just looking at a list; you're getting a recommendation of vetted experts.

Use a digital classroom built for engaged learning

Our online environment is much more than a standard video call; it is a purpose-built workspace designed for active learning. Within our interactive digital classroom, your child and their tutor use a shared whiteboard to solve problems and real-time document sharing to work through practical English or maths tasks together.
This hands-on approach keeps students much more engaged than a typical lecture. To keep you updated, tutors provide weekly progress reports and feedback, so you can see exactly what they’ve achieved without needing to supervise the lesson yourself.
