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

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study A-Levels at South Tyneside College. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE Maths grade?
Absolutely. Many parents share this goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the specific GCSE grades they need for college entry. They can focus on the exact topics and exam techniques required to boost your child's performance and confidence.
We're aiming for a competitive course at a university like Newcastle or Durham. Can a tutor provide the right level of support?
Yes. We have many tutors who are graduates from top UK universities and specialise in preparing students for competitive courses. They can provide advanced support for A-Level Maths and help your child develop the deeper understanding needed to stand out in their university applications.
How do I choose the best Maths tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence in Maths?
This is very common, and it's where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A tutor provides a safe, patient space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down difficult concepts and celebrating small wins, they can rebuild your child's self-belief step by step.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for success. 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 an online Maths tutor in South Shields cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can see the hourly rate on each tutor's profile, so you can easily find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has an up-to-date DBS background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
Can a tutor help my child with their GCSE Maths specifically?
Definitely. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum. They can help your child master key topics, perfect their exam technique, and build confidence ahead of their exams. In fact, we can help students improve their results by up to two grades.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like Maths?
Not at all! While we support core academic subjects from the 11+ through to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, we can help.
How long will my child need a tutor for?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students need a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor, with no pressure to commit to a set number of lessons.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also see their confidence grow as they start to understand topics they previously found challenging. This is often reflected in their schoolwork and test results.
