Giving Your Child the Right Support in Mechanics

The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a connection. By getting to know your child's specific learning style and where they're getting stuck, they can create a supportive space to ask questions without fear of judgement. We take this seriously, which is why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. You can be sure your child is learning from someone who is not only an expert in their field, but is also background-checked and brilliant at what they do. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child’s exact needs. If they’re finding moments tricky or struggling to apply Newton’s laws, their tutor can dedicate the entire session to that one area until it clicks. This focused approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, helping them turn a subject they find difficult into one they feel confident about. We know family life in Cambridge is busy. Online tutoring fits around your schedule, without adding extra travel time. You can find and message tutors, book lessons, and watch your child learn from the comfort of your own home. With over 200,000 happy students and a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews, you can feel confident you’re making the right choice for your child’s future.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a top engineering course at the University of Cambridge. Can a tutor help with this specific goal?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in supporting students with ambitious university goals. They can help your child master the specific Mechanics concepts needed to achieve an A*, building the strong foundation required for a successful application and interview.

My child's peers are at competitive sixth forms like Hills Road. Can a tutor help them keep pace and stand out?

Yes. A private tutor provides personalised attention that isn't always possible in a classroom setting. They can reinforce topics covered in school, challenge your child with advanced problems, and help them develop a deeper understanding that allows them to confidently stand out.

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

It's simple to find the perfect match on Tutorful. You can filter tutors by subject, experience, and price. Watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message to discuss your child's needs before you book a lesson.

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

We know how important the right fit is, which is 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 do online Mechanics tutors in Cambridge cost?

The price varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every applicant, accepting only 1 in 8 to ensure the highest quality of teaching.

How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in Mechanics?

Confidence is key. A tutor provides a patient and encouraging environment where your child can work at their own pace. By breaking down difficult problems and celebrating small successes, they help rebuild self-belief one step at a time.

How does online tutoring actually work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.

How many lessons will my child need to see an improvement?

It varies for each student, but the benefit of one-to-one support is that progress can happen quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions.

Is tutoring just for core subjects, or can you help with other skills like university interview practice or coding?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Alongside academic support in subjects like Mechanics, you can find tutors for practical skills like coding and Python, musical instruments, and even university interview preparation.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

Most sessions are one hour long, as this is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths by messaging the tutor directly.

Can I track my child's progress?

Yes. Our platform makes it easy to message your child's tutor for updates. Most tutors provide regular feedback on how your child is doing, what they've covered, and what the plan is for future lessons.
