Hello, I am Carly. I have been tutoring now for 5 years and it has been a pleasure to encourage my students and help them to see their own potential. As a medical student, I have a passion for the sciences and maths and I love to share that enthusiasm with my students. Many of my students come to me with a deep dislike for their subject ad no one wants to spend time on something they find difficult. However, I have found that building a student’s confidence goes a long way to making learning enjoying, or at the very least tolerable. I am well-versed in a broad range of exam boards (including A...

My Year 10 daughter has recently started with Amira. The lessons are clearly structured, the dialogue between the two of them is excellent and there is follow up from Amira with my daughter. Best of all, my daughter is happy to be tutored with Amira. I would absolutely recommend Amira.

Sarah H
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!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for an engineering course at Loughborough or Nottingham. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our A-Level Physics tutors are specialists with experience in helping students secure places on competitive university courses. They can focus on the specific topics and problem-solving skills needed to achieve the top grades required for entry.
We live in Derby and my child attends a great school. How can a tutor add to that?
That's a great question. Even at excellent schools, a one-to-one tutor can provide personalised support that isn't possible in a class of 30. They can go over topics your child finds tricky, work at their specific pace, and focus entirely on their individual goals, supplementing their schoolwork perfectly.
How do I choose the right Physics tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to ask about their experience. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, as a positive relationship is key to building confidence and making progress.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and professional?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply. All our tutors must pass a background check and provide professional references before they can join our platform.
What happens if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your first 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 much does online Physics tutoring in Derby cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, so you're always in control.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for solving problems together, and a way to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to get face-to-face support from home.
Can tutoring help if my child has lost confidence in Physics?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor can create a patient and encouraging environment where your child feels safe to make mistakes and ask questions. Rebuilding that confidence is often the first step to seeing their grades improve.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular lessons. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and enthusiasm for the subject.
My child needs help with a specific A-Level topic like thermal physics. Can a tutor help with that?
Of course. The beauty of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons can be completely focused on what your child needs most. You can find a tutor who specialises in A-Level Physics and ask them to concentrate specifically on tricky topics.
Are lessons only for GCSEs and A-Levels?
Not at all. We have tutors who can help with Physics right from KS3 through to university level. Whatever stage your child is at, we can find an expert to support them.
How do online lessons actually work?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academic subjects like Physics, your child can learn a musical instrument, a new language, or even practical skills like coding with Python. There's a huge range of expert tutors available.
