Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child has their heart set on Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form in Darlington. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE Maths grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in GCSE exam preparation and have a deep understanding of the grades required for competitive sixth forms. They can work with your child on specific topics, exam technique, and confidence-building to help them aim for the results they need to secure their place.
We're aiming for a top university like Durham. How can Maths tutoring now help with that long-term goal?
A strong GCSE Maths grade is a crucial first step. It opens the door to the A-Levels needed for competitive university courses. A tutor helps build a solid foundation not just for passing the exam, but for understanding Maths at a deeper level, which will be invaluable for their future A-Level studies and university applications.
How do I choose the right Maths tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents just like you. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute chat to discuss your child's needs before you book, so you can feel completely confident in your choice. Our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews shows how much parents value this.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important, which is why we have our satisfaction 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 do online Maths tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown upfront on their profiles, so there are no surprises.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, so your child and their tutor can work through problems together just as they would in person. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence in Maths?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A private tutor provides a safe, patient, and encouraging space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By going back over topics they've missed and celebrating small wins, they can rebuild your child's self-belief step by step.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is interviewed and has their ID and qualifications verified. They also undergo a background check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
Do you only offer tutoring for core school subjects like Maths?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also help students explore their passions. You can find experienced tutors for everything from learning to play the guitar and coding in Python to mastering a new language.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which most students find is the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can find and book a tutor very quickly. Our platform makes it easy to see tutors' real-time availability, so you can often book your first session for the same or next day. You can message tutors directly to arrange a time that suits your family.
What happens in a typical online Maths lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child. A tutor might start by reviewing homework, then introduce a new concept using the interactive whiteboard to draw diagrams or work through examples. They might also use past paper questions to practise exam technique, always ensuring the pace is right for your child.
