Will M
We contacted Will earlier this week after our son sat Paper 1 of his Maths A’Level. He was having a crisis of confidence about the upcoming mechanics paper. He is hoping for a high grade and just needed a little boost with confidence and mindset regarding certain question types.
Will kindly offered us a 2hr session this weekend, to work on this area of need. He delivered a really specialised session that focused on a very specific area & type of problem. Our son came away feeling much better and less panicked about the next paper, which as parents is exactly what we’d hoped for.
We’d highly recommend Will for anyone needing any extra assistance. He listens to what is needed and tailors it to the student and also provided us with some great feedback.

asked questions

My child is aiming for a degree apprenticeship with a firm like Rolls-Royce. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students prepare for the technical aspects of applications and interviews for competitive apprenticeships. They can help your child build a deep understanding of the core Mechanics principles that these top engineering firms look for.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for an engineering course at the University of Derby or Loughborough?
Yes. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child master the A-Level Mechanics topics needed to meet their university offer. They can help build the foundational knowledge and problem-solving skills that will allow them to thrive on a demanding engineering degree course.
How do I choose the right Mechanics tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best. You can even message tutors for free before booking to make sure they're right for your child.
How much does an online Mechanics tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £55 per hour, depending on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom. Your child and their tutor can use a digital whiteboard to draw diagrams and work through problems, share files, and edit documents together. It’s a dynamic and effective way to learn, focused entirely on your child's needs.
How can tutoring help if my child has lost confidence in Mechanics?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions they might not ask in class. By breaking down complex topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them rebuild their self-belief and start to enjoy the subject again.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check before they can teach on our platform. We want you to have complete peace of mind.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 many lessons will my child need?
There's no set number. Some students need a few lessons to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from weekly support throughout the school year. You and your child's tutor can work together to figure out a plan that best suits their goals.
What equipment do we need for online tutoring?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download.
Beyond school subjects, do you offer tutoring in practical skills like coding or Python?
We do! We believe in learning for life. Alongside academic subjects, we have expert tutors who can teach a wide range of skills, including coding languages like Python, which are incredibly useful for aspiring engineers, as well as music, languages, and more.
How do I know if tutoring is working?
The best sign is seeing your child's confidence grow. You might notice they're less stressed about homework or more engaged in the subject. Our tutors provide regular feedback, and you can always check in with them to discuss your child's progress.
