Hi, I’m a Master’s graduate in Biomedical Science from the University of Glasgow, and I’m passionate about helping students achieve their academic goals in a way that’s both fun and effective.Growing up, I found school challenging—balancing coursework with extracurricular activities made it difficult to maintain high grades. However, once I reached university, I developed better study strategies that helped me excel and achieve top marks. This experience has shaped my approach to tutoring: I focus on understanding concepts, not just memorizing theory. I believe that when students grasp the why b...

Ian T
My son has found his lessons with Ian very helpful and engaging. Ian is a fantastic STEM tutor - highly knowledgeable, attentive, and committed to his students’ progress. He's great at explaining complex concepts clearly and keeps lessons interesting, which has really helped build my son's confidence and understanding.
Ian is also flexible and willing to adapt his teaching style to suit individual needs. He takes the time to understand how my son learns best and adjusts his approach accordingly, making each session both productive and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Ian to anyone looking for a supportive and effective tutor.

Sakin I
Sakin is an amazing tutor. I’ve had a few tutors before but her approach to teaching and helping me understand is different and much more helpful. We started from the very foundations of math, quickly progressing to complex A-level topics within a short timeframe thanks to her. When i’m confused or unsure about a question, she goes through it step by step making sure I understand every step, a lot of back and forth until it makes sense - which in my experience is something other tutors lacked significantly. If you are considering Sakin as a tutor for yourself or someone you know then do not hesitate, I would 100% recommend her.

Hemananda (ravi) N
Ravi has been supporting our daughter, who is in Year 7, with complex concepts such as algebra. Within just a few lessons, we noticed a clear improvement in both her confidence and her understanding. Six weeks on, her confidence and mathematical ability continue to grow.
This level of progress would not have been possible without Ravi’s thoughtful and supportive approach. He is highly attuned to our daughter’s needs and carefully tailors each lesson to suit her learning style. He also provides valuable feedback on how we can reinforce key concepts at home.
I would highly recommend Ravi. He is professional, thorough, and genuinely committed to helping students succeed.

Monica is a wonderful maths tutor for my son. She is patient, encouraging, and explains concepts in a clear and structured way that really helps him understand.
She takes the time to break problems down step by step and adapts her teaching to suit his pace, which has made a big difference to his confidence with maths. My son enjoys the sessions and feels comfortable asking questions when he doesn’t understand something.
I have also appreciated Monica’s professionalism and the care she puts into supporting his learning. I would definitely recommend her to other parents looking for a supportive and dedicated tutor.

Jurginija S
Our son has only had a couple of lessons so far, with Jurginja, but we are already noticing he has more confidence. He has GCSE exams this summer and we wanted someone to support him and give him that extra boost to get over the line in his final exams. Appears knowledgeable and friendly and puts our son at ease. He seems really happy so far. Would 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.
