Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can a Tutorful GCSE Maths tutor help my child get into competitive sixth forms in Plymouth?

Absolutely. Many parents in Plymouth use our tutors to help their children achieve the strong Maths GCSE grades required by competitive sixth forms like Devonport High School for Boys or Plymouth High School for Girls. Our tutors provide focused, one-to-one support to help your child master challenging topics and excel in their exams.

How can online Maths GCSE tutoring support my child's ambition for university in Plymouth, like the University of Plymouth?

A strong Maths GCSE is a crucial foundation for higher education, especially for STEM subjects. Our tutors can help your child build a solid understanding, leading to better GCSE results that open doors to preferred A-Level choices and ultimately, a wider range of university courses at institutions like the University of Plymouth, setting them up for future success.

Is Tutorful just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?

While we excel in academic subjects like Maths GCSE, Tutorful also offers a wide range of tutors for other skills and hobbies. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with coding, improve their photography, or even learn a new language. It's all about fostering a love for learning in any area they're passionate about.

What if my child doesn't get along with their first tutor?

We want you and your child to feel completely comfortable. 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 do I choose the best GCSE Maths tutor for my child?

It's easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and compare their experience and teaching styles. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute meeting, allowing you and your child to chat with them before committing to a lesson, ensuring a great fit.

How much does a GCSE Maths tutor in Plymouth cost?

Tutor prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications, but you'll find a range of options to fit your budget. There are no hidden fees, and you can clearly see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile. You only pay for the lessons your child takes.

How quickly can my child start learning with a tutor?

You can often book a lesson for your child as soon as you find a suitable tutor. Many tutors have flexible availability, meaning your child could have their first session within a day or two of you getting in touch, allowing them to start making progress quickly.

How can a Maths GCSE tutor help my child build confidence?

A good tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgment. They celebrate small victories, explain concepts in different ways until they 'click', and help your child understand that mistakes are part of learning. This personalised attention significantly boosts confidence, turning 'I can't' into 'I can'.

What makes Tutorful tutors so good?

We're very selective! We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring we have a pool of highly qualified and experienced educators. Every tutor is background-checked, and many have direct experience teaching the GCSE curriculum. They are passionate about helping students succeed and are skilled at tailoring lessons to individual needs.

How do I know if online tutoring is right for my child?

Online tutoring is incredibly convenient and effective. Our platform offers interactive whiteboards, document sharing, and recorded lessons, making it engaging for children. It removes travel time and allows access to a wider range of specialist tutors. Many parents find it a stress-free way to support their child's learning. Why not try a free meeting to see how it works?

My child struggles with specific Maths topics like algebra. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of one-to-one tutoring is the ability to focus intensely on specific areas where your child needs help. Whether it's algebra, trigonometry, or understanding data, a tutor can break down complex topics, provide targeted practice, and use different teaching methods until your child feels confident.

How does Tutorful ensure my child's safety online?

Your child's safety is paramount. All our tutors undergo thorough background checks, and all lessons take place on our secure online platform. Lessons can be recorded for peace of mind, and our support team is always available if you have any concerns. We strive to create a safe and supportive learning environment for every student.
