Liam has been a great tutor! The time and effort he provided was invaluable. He explained the trickier concepts in mechanics in a more understandable way and always knew how to help my understanding.
I would definitely recommend him.

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 wants to study engineering at the University of Portsmouth. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our A-Level Mechanics tutors are university lecturers or graduates from top engineering courses. They can help your child master the specific topics needed for their application, build their confidence for interviews, and offer real-world insight into what it takes to succeed in an engineering degree.
My child attends Havant & South Downs College. Can we find a tutor familiar with their curriculum?
Yes. Our tutors are experienced with all major UK exam boards, including those used by local colleges in and around Portsmouth. During your free chat with a tutor, you can ask about their experience with your child's specific course to ensure they are a perfect fit.
How do I choose the right Mechanics tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos, and check tutors' qualifications on their profiles. We also recommend having a free chat with a few tutors before booking to make sure their teaching style and personality are a good match for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right connection is. 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 feel more confident in Mechanics?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. Tutors can break down complex topics into smaller, manageable steps, celebrating small wins along the way and helping your child see that they are capable of succeeding.
How much do online Mechanics tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors are DBS-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
What happens in an online lesson?
Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and engaging. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for working through problems together, and a way to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Can tutoring help with specific topics like statics or dynamics?
Definitely. The great thing about one-to-one tutoring is that every lesson can be tailored to your child's exact needs. If they need to spend a few sessions mastering dynamics, their tutor can create a plan to do just that, using practice questions and clear explanations.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor if your child would benefit from something shorter or longer.
How many lessons will my child need to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, so it varies. Some parents use tutoring for a short-term boost before an exam, while others prefer regular weekly sessions. We find that consistency is key, and it's why 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills too?
While we're experts in academic subjects like Mechanics, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, speak Spanish, or get started with coding, you can find a friendly and experienced tutor to help them.
