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
My child is hoping to study engineering at the University of York. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the high entry requirements for competitive courses at Russell Group universities like the University of York. They can focus on the specific A-Level Physics topics and grades your child needs to secure their place.
We live in York, are the tutors local?
Our tutors are based all across the UK and all lessons are held online. This gives your family the best possible choice of expert Physics tutors, not just those who happen to live nearby. You can find a specialist in A-Level quantum physics or GCSE mechanics, regardless of their location, and connect from the comfort of your home.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to find the perfect match for your child, and we understand that chemistry is important. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, 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?
You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. You can also send them a message before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and see if they're a good fit. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable learning with.
How much does a Physics tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find an experienced Physics tutor that fits your family's budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or extra costs.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for solving problems together, and a function to share documents. It’s a secure and effective way for your child to learn one-to-one.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in Physics?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to say 'I don't get it' without any classroom pressure. A tutor can break down difficult topics into smaller, manageable steps, celebrating small wins along the way and rebuilding their self-belief.
My child is preparing for their GCSEs. Can a tutor really help improve their grade?
Yes, they can make a significant difference. A tutor can focus on the specific areas of the GCSE Physics syllabus your child finds challenging, practise exam technique, and work on revision strategies. We find that our support can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
Are your tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we have a rigorous selection process – we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply. You can feel reassured that your child is in safe, expert hands.
What makes Tutorful a trusted platform?
We're proud to be trusted by thousands of families across the UK. With over 4,100 customer reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, and over 200,000 happy students, our focus has always been on providing high-quality, reliable, and supportive tutoring.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually a good amount of time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. Many parents find a weekly session works well, but you can arrange a frequency that best suits your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Alongside core academic support for things like the 11+, GCSEs and A-Levels, you can find expert tutors for learning a musical instrument like the guitar, coding languages like Python, or even preparing for a professional qualification.
