Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child wants to study a STEM subject at the University of York. Can a tutor help with this goal?

Absolutely. Our tutors can help your child build the deep subject knowledge and problem-solving skills needed to meet the high entry requirements for competitive courses. They can focus on mastering the specific A-Level Mechanics topics that are fundamental to university-level engineering and physics.

My child attends a demanding sixth form in York. Can a tutor keep up with the pace?

Yes. Our tutors are experienced in supporting students from a wide range of schools. They can tailor their lessons to match the specific curriculum and pace of your child's school, whether that's reinforcing what was taught in class that week or preparing them for upcoming tests and exams.

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

It's simple to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and even message tutors for free before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and a teaching style that will click with your child.

How can a tutor 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 without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics into manageable steps and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-belief and make the subject feel less intimidating.

What happens in a typical online lesson?

Your child and their tutor meet in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. They can work through problems together in real-time, just as they would in person. It’s a dynamic and effective way to learn.

How much does online Mechanics tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own prices, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience, so you can find a brilliant, background-checked tutor who fits your budget, with rates starting from as little as £20 per hour.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

Can tutoring help improve my child's overall Maths or Physics grade?

Yes, very much so. Because Mechanics is a key module in A-Level Maths and Physics, strengthening their understanding here often has a positive knock-on effect. As their confidence and skills in Mechanics grow, it can lift their performance across the entire subject.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. If you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It's part of our First Lesson Guarantee.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have amazing tutors for music, languages, and practical skills like coding. Whether it's learning the guitar or Python, we can help your child explore their passions.

How long are the tutoring sessions?

Lessons are typically 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 by messaging a tutor directly to see what works best for them and your child.

What if we need to reschedule a lesson?

Life can be busy, and we understand that plans change. You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, as per our cancellation policy.
