The Right Mechanics Support to Build Your Child's Confidence

The right tutor does more than just explain the syllabus; they get to know your child and how they learn. We take the guesswork out of finding that perfect match. All our tutors are background-checked, and we only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best. They will take the time to understand exactly where your child is struggling, whether it's with kinematics or moments, and build a supportive partnership that gets results. Every one-to-one lesson is built around your child. Forget a one-size-fits-all approach; these sessions focus on their specific goals.

It's this personalised approach that helps 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Finding time for extra support shouldn't be another stress. With online tutoring, you can connect with the UK's best Mechanics tutors from your home in Plymouth, at a time that fits around your family's schedule.

Ms. Amal is truly one of the best teachers we’ve had. She covers the material thoroughly and explains everything clearly and effectively. Her teaching style is engaging, and her classes are always enjoyable. My child, Adam, looks forward to her lessons and never gets bored, even if the class lasts for hours! We are very thankful for her dedication and efforts. I highly recommend her for teaching Statistics and Mechanics.

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.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is hoping to study engineering at the University of Plymouth. Can a tutor help with that?

Absolutely. A private tutor can help your child master the specific Mechanics topics in their A-Level Maths or Physics syllabus, which is crucial for a strong university application. By building their confidence and subject knowledge, they'll be in a much better position to meet the entry requirements for competitive courses.

With Plymouth's marine engineering industry, can we find a tutor who understands these career paths?

Yes, many of our tutors have degrees in engineering or related fields and can bring the subject to life with real-world examples. You can view each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile, helping you find someone who can not only teach the theory but also inspire your child by connecting it to exciting local career paths.

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

It's easy to find the perfect fit. You can use our filters to narrow down tutors by price and availability. We recommend reading their profiles to learn about their teaching style, watching their intro videos, and checking reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ensure they're right for your child.

How much does online Mechanics tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with lessons starting from as little as £20 per hour.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure your child has the best learning experience. 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 can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in Mechanics?

Confidence is key. Our tutors create a patient and supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. They are experts at breaking down difficult topics into smaller, manageable steps, celebrating small wins along the way to rebuild your child's self-belief.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single UK-based tutor on our platform has been through an identity check and has a valid DBS certificate. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How do online lessons actually work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for an effective lesson. It includes a live video chat, an interactive whiteboard for solving problems together, and a function for sharing documents like past papers or homework. It's a simple, secure, and engaging way to learn from home.

What A-Level exam boards do your Mechanics tutors cover?

Our tutors have experience with all the major UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. You can check a tutor's profile to see which exam boards they specialise in or send them a message to confirm before you book.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most students have one lesson a week, but it's completely flexible. It really depends on your child's goals. You can discuss what would work best directly with your chosen tutor – they can help you create a plan that fits your needs.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

The standard lesson length is one hour, which is usually enough time to dive into a topic without it becoming overwhelming. However, you can arrange longer or shorter sessions if you discuss it with your tutor beforehand.

Do you offer tutoring for other subjects besides A-Level Mechanics?

Yes, we do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects. Whether your child needs help with GCSE Chemistry, wants to learn a language, or is interested in practical skills like coding or playing the guitar, we have a tutor who can help.
