Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study Engineering at the University of Portsmouth. Can a tutor help them get the A-Level grades they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in preparing students for university-level study. They can focus on the specific A-Level Maths topics that are most important for competitive engineering courses, helping your child build a strong application.
With employers like BAE Systems nearby, are there tutors who understand the Maths skills needed for top apprenticeships?
Yes. A tutor can help your child develop the practical problem-solving and advanced Maths skills that are highly valued by leading local employers in the engineering and tech sectors. They can tailor sessions to build the confidence and competence needed to stand out.
How do I choose the right Maths tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a short intro call, which is a great way for you and your child to chat with them and see if they're a good fit before booking a lesson.
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, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online Maths tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience and level of expertise. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find someone who fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a microphone, a camera, and a stable internet connection.
My child has lost their confidence in Maths. How can a tutor help?
This is very common, and it's where one-to-one tutoring can make a huge difference. A tutor provides a safe, patient space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By going back over tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild that self-belief.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an identity and background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
Can a tutor help my child with their GCSE Maths?
Definitely. Our tutors are brilliant at preparing students for their GCSEs. They can help your child master the curriculum, perfect their exam technique, and build their confidence. In fact, our support can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our personalised approach is designed for progress. With consistent lessons, students quickly build confidence and understanding. It's why 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.
What happens in a typical tutoring session?
A tutor will usually start by checking in with your child to see what they've been working on at school or if there's anything specific they're stuck on. The rest of the session is tailored to their needs, whether that's working through homework, revising a topic, or practising exam questions.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're experts in academic subjects like Maths and English, we also have talented tutors who teach a huge range of other skills! You can find tutors for everything from coding and Python to playing the guitar and learning a new language.
