Sam F
Supportive Mechanics tutor

Maths can be a beautiful subject with visual intuition and ah-hah applications, and a bridge of so much more in between.I like to try and help teach people not just lists of facts to memorise, but to help them see why all of this works until it seems like common sense. A good mathematical education is one where you can see not just what you need to know, but deep under the hood as well.I remember when I was in school and...

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

We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

Of course. We encourage open communication between parents and tutors. You can message your tutor at any time to ask for updates, and they will often provide feedback on your child's progress, highlighting areas of improvement and topics they plan to cover next.
