Sinthuja U
We’ve had a few lessons with her, and my son already feels much more confident in the topics he found difficult. He is also doing better in his school tests. She explains things clearly and makes sure he really understands the topic. They also practice with past exam questions, which helps a lot. I plan to continue lessons with her for GCSE and A levels and would definitely recommend her.

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 hopes to study a STEM subject at Durham University. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our Physics tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top universities. They can help your child master the A-Level content, develop the problem-solving skills universities like Durham look for, and build the confidence needed to excel in their exams and interviews.
We're aiming for a competitive A-Level programme at Durham Sixth Form Centre. Can you help?
Yes. A strong set of GCSEs is crucial for securing a place at a great sixth form. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child achieve the best possible Physics grade, strengthening their application and ensuring they are fully prepared for the step up to A-Level study.
How do I choose the best Physics tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. Many parents find it helpful to send a message to a few tutors to discuss their child's specific needs before booking a session. You can also filter by tutors who have experience with a particular exam board.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit 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 can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in Physics?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor creates 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, a tutor can help rebuild their self-belief and rediscover a passion for the subject.
How much does a Physics tutor in County Durham cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £15 to £40+. The price often reflects a tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors on our website to find someone who fits your budget perfectly.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects like Physics?
Not at all! We believe in learning for life. We have expert tutors for a huge range of skills and hobbies, from learning guitar or a new language to coding in Python or mastering public speaking.
What exam boards do your Physics tutors cover?
Our tutors have experience with all the major UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. You can see which exam boards a tutor specialises in on their profile, ensuring you find the perfect match for your child's specific course.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths by discussing it directly with your chosen tutor.
Are the tutors background-checked?
You can find and book a tutor very quickly. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours, and you could have your first lesson booked for as early as tomorrow. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile.
