Conor D
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!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for a STEM course at Durham University?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top Russell Group universities. They can focus on the specific A-Level topics and exam techniques needed to help your child achieve the high grades required for competitive courses like engineering, physics, or computer science.
My child attends a local school like Durham Johnston. Can a tutor work alongside their curriculum?
Of course. Our tutors are experts at tailoring their support to complement what your child is learning at school. They can help reinforce classroom teaching, provide extra support on challenging topics, and ensure your child feels fully prepared for their school assessments and final exams.
How do I choose the right Physics tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific goals. Finding someone your child connects with is key, as that positive relationship is the foundation for great learning.
How can a tutor help with the big jump from GCSE to A-Level Physics?
This is a common challenge, and our tutors are brilliant at bridging that gap. They can help your child master the more complex mathematical concepts and the deeper theoretical understanding required for A-Levels, building their confidence step-by-step so they don't feel overwhelmed.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online Physics tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
What makes your tutors different?
We're very selective. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from the best. Every tutor is background checked and interviewed by our team, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's confidence or grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but regular, consistent lessons can make a big difference quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and engagement after just a few sessions.
Do you only offer academic subjects like Physics?
Not at all! While we cover all academic subjects from primary school to university level, we also have brilliant tutors who can help your child learn a new skill or hobby, such as learning to play the guitar, coding in Python, or speaking a new language.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check before they can teach on our platform, so you can feel completely secure.

Payments are handled securely and simply through the platform. You add your card details to your account, and you'll only be charged 24 hours after a lesson has been completed. It's straightforward and you never have to deal with cash.
