Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive STEM course at Durham University. Can a tutor help with this specific goal?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with university ambitions. They can focus on the key A-Level Mechanics topics that are crucial for STEM applications and help your child build the deep understanding required to stand out and feel confident in their university interviews.
We live in a rural part of County Durham. How does online tutoring help us?
Online tutoring removes geographical barriers completely. Instead of being limited to tutors in your immediate area, you have access to the very best Mechanics specialists from across the UK. This ensures your child gets expert support without you having to worry about travel time or costs.
How do I choose the right Mechanics tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. There's an interactive whiteboard for working through problems, video and audio chat, and a tool for sharing files like past papers. It's a simple, secure, and effective way to learn one-to-one.
How much does a Mechanics tutor cost?
Tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience, typically starting from around £25 per hour. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are your tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one to ensure they are the best of the best. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in Mechanics?
Confidence often comes from understanding. A tutor provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down complex topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps your child see that they are capable, which builds their self-belief lesson by lesson.
Is tutoring just for A-Levels, or can you help with other things?
While we help thousands of students with academic subjects from Primary 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 even learn a new language, we can help.
How quickly can we expect to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored one-to-one approach is designed to get results. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.
What happens in a typical one-to-one Mechanics lesson?
A typical lesson is focused entirely on your child's goals. It might start with a quick review of a tricky topic from school, then move on to tackling practice problems on the interactive whiteboard, and finish by working through a past exam question to build their technique.
Can a tutor help with exam technique as well as the subject?
Yes, absolutely. Understanding Mechanics is one part of the puzzle; knowing how to answer the questions under pressure is the other. Tutors are brilliant at teaching exam technique, from time management to understanding what examiners are looking for in an answer.
