Richard H
My son was struggling with his first year physics A level and becoming really frustrated. We wanted someone with experience to help him so that he can achieve a high grade for University entrance.Rich answered our enquiry very quickly and a lesson was arranged . We haven't looked back since that first lesson .Rich has been brilliant. He is an excellent tutor and has identified gaps in my son's knowledge that would prevent him from fully understanding topics .One of my initial concerns was if he had experience with OCR as it wasn't on his profile ....but the first question he asked me was which exam board was he studying.He has lots of experience.
As a parent I'm delighted because my son is so happy! His confidence is growing , the stress diminishing and he's starting to enjoy the subject!!Thank you Richard. Highly recommend.

My son has had a couple of lessons with Sarah and so far we have found her lessons very beneficial. Her knowledge base is strong and she is able to pace the lesson depending upon the knowledge of the pupil in the subject/topic. She seems well-versed in preparation for GCSE subjects. My son is doing physics and chemistry with her. We have got a number of other sessions planned with her and I will share further review after them.

Connor has been working with my son for a month now on GCSE Physics prep, and the impact has been fantastic. My son is aiming to move from a Grade 7 to an 8 or 9 in preparation for A-Level, and Connor’s deep subject knowledge is making that goal feel very achievable. He is incredibly friendly and supportive, and my son genuinely enjoys his weekly sessions. He feels he is effectively closing his knowledge gaps and gaining a lot of confidence. Highly recommended!

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends Northampton School for Boys/Northampton High School. Can a tutor help with the specific demands of their curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students from highly academic schools. They can tailor sessions to match the pace and depth of your child's specific GCSE or A-Level Physics curriculum, helping them stay on top of challenging homework and prepare effectively for exams.
We're aiming for a competitive STEM course at a Russell Group university. Can a tutor support this goal?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child achieve the high A-Level grades needed for entry into competitive courses like engineering, medicine, or computer science. They can also help with university entrance exam preparation and build the deep conceptual understanding that admissions tutors look for.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Physics tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right Physics tutor for my child?
We make it easy. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings and reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs and goals to ensure you find the perfect match for your family.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in Physics?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors break down complex topics into manageable steps, celebrate small wins, and provide constant encouragement, which helps build self-belief alongside subject knowledge.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online Physics tutoring cost in Northampton?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study (e.g., GCSE vs. A-Level). This allows you to find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
Can a tutor help with specific topics like quantum mechanics or exam technique?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Lessons are completely tailored to what your child needs help with. Whether it's mastering the maths in mechanics, understanding difficult A-Level concepts, or simply practising past papers, the tutor will focus on those exact areas.
What equipment do we need for online lessons?
It's simple! All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has everything your child needs, including an interactive whiteboard, file sharing, and video chat, making lessons engaging and effective.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can often find and book a tutor very quickly. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours, and you could have your child's first lesson arranged for the same week, providing the support they need without delay.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like Physics, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects, we also offer experts in a huge range of other areas! From learning to play the guitar or speak a new language to mastering skills like coding or public speaking, we can help your child explore their passions beyond the school curriculum.
How much does online Physics tutoring cost in Northampton?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss your child's needs with your tutor and arrange for longer or shorter sessions if that works better for them.
