Sarah is an excellent tutor. After my mock exam results, my confidence had taken a knock, but Sarah has really helped me rebuild it. She explains concepts very clearly and then reinforces them by working through examples, which helps everything stick. Thanks to her support, I’ve developed a much deeper understanding of the areas I was struggling with and feel far more confident in the lead-up to my exams. Sarah has made a huge difference to my learning, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

We’re so pleased with my son’s first maths tutoring session this evening. He was quite nervous beforehand, but he finished smiling and said he really enjoyed it! The tutor made him feel comfortable straight away and explained everything in a way that really clicked for him. It’s so nice to see him feeling more confident already. We’re really looking forward to the next session. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child hopes to study a Maths-reliant degree at Durham University. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students bridge the gap between GCSE and A-Level, and then on to university. They can help your child build the deep subject knowledge and study skills needed to meet the entry requirements for competitive courses at institutions like Durham University.

The pace at schools like Durham Johnston can be very fast. Can a tutor help my child keep up?

Yes, this is a very common reason parents seek a tutor. In a one-to-one session, your child can revisit topics they didn't quite grasp in class, ask questions without feeling embarrassed, and work at their own pace until they feel confident and back on track.

How do I choose the right Maths tutor for my child?

You can view detailed profiles for each tutor, which include their experience, qualifications, teaching style, and reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their introductory videos and messaging a few to find the best fit for your child's personality and learning needs.

What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have 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.

Are your tutors safe and background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and been personally interviewed by our team. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

How much does a Maths tutor in Durham cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your budget.

How does online tutoring work?

It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It allows your child to learn from the comfort of home, at a time that works for you.

How can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence in Maths?

A great tutor acts as a mentor, creating a patient and encouraging space for your child to learn. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-esteem and change their attitude towards Maths.

What levels of Maths do your tutors cover?

Our tutors cover all levels, from Primary and 11+ preparation right through to GCSE, A-Level, and even university-level Maths. You can filter your search to find a tutor with the right experience for your child's specific needs.

How long will my child need a tutor for?

This is completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.

Do you only offer academic subjects like Maths?

Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects like Maths, English and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of skills and hobbies. Your child could learn to play the guitar, speak Spanish, or even get into coding.

How quickly can we get started?

You can get started today. Simply search for tutors, message them to check their availability, and you could have your first lesson booked in just a few hours. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute video chat to say hello first.
