Amirhossein S
Amir has been and continues to be fantastic.In a very short period of time (weeks) he has taken my son up a grade/grade and a half in both maths and computer science. We shall most definitely be continuing with Amir up to my son’s A levels and now fully expect him to achieve As in both. My son even said the other day that if he had had Amir a year ago, he could have even studied further maths. The confidence Amir has given my son back is quite something. I am very grateful to Amir, he is a very great tutor.

Absolutely. Many of our Maths tutors have experience helping students prepare for university-level study. They can help your child master the A-Level topics needed for competitive courses like engineering or marine science, and build the confidence required for their application.
We're aiming for a place at a Plymouth grammar school. Can a tutor help with the 11+?
Yes, we have many specialist tutors who are experienced in preparing children for the 11+ exam. They can help your child get comfortable with the format and build their skills in key areas of the Maths paper, giving them the best possible preparation.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right Maths tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also have an introductory video so you can get a feel for their personality. You can message them before booking to discuss your child's needs and ensure they're a great match.
How much does a Maths tutor in Plymouth cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, with no hidden costs or contracts. This transparency allows you to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
My child has lost their confidence in Maths. Can a tutor help with that?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. A one-to-one setting provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down tricky topics, which helps rebuild their self-belief.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a secure and engaging space where your child can learn comfortably from home.
Can a tutor help my child with their GCSE Maths?
Yes, helping students with their GCSEs is one of our specialities. Tutors can provide targeted support to help improve your child's GCSE results by up to two grades, focusing on everything from exam technique to mastering difficult topics.
How are your tutors vetted?
Your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the very best.
Do you only offer help with school subjects?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have tutors for a wide range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language, we have expert tutors who can help.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which we find is most effective for focused learning. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
Do I have to commit to a certain number of lessons?
Not at all. We offer complete flexibility. You can book lessons one at a time or arrange a regular weekly slot with your tutor. There are no contracts, so you can adapt the support to fit your child's changing needs.
