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

We make it easy to find the perfect fit. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience, watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality, and read detailed reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs.

How much does online Mechanics tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications, giving you the flexibility to find excellent support that fits your family's budget.

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.

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, allowing your child and their tutor to work through problems and diagrams together in real-time. All they need is a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence in Mechanics?

Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be hesitant to ask in class. Tutors can break down complex topics into manageable steps, celebrate small wins, and show your child that they are capable of mastering the subject.

The standard lesson length is one hour, which most students find is the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.

Can I track my child's progress?

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.
