Michael R
Experienced and effective Physics Tutor
I am an experienced tutor and have been working in Somerset for the last fifteen years. In the past I have tutored students who cannot access full-time education for different reasons (health, mobility, faith and behavioural, for example) and always try to tailor my tuition to the individual's needs.I have worked as an examiner for both A level (chemistry), GCSE (sciences) and SATS (maths) so this means I am able not only to tutor the subject but also improve examination technique. Mathematics and all three sciences can be covered at GCSE in any combination and I have gained a sound working knowledge...

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.

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 aiming for a competitive Sixth Form in Plymouth. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students meet the high academic standards of schools like Devonport High School for Boys and Plymouth High School for Girls. They can focus on strengthening your child's core Physics knowledge and exam technique to help them feel prepared and confident.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for a STEM degree at the University of Plymouth?
Definitely. A strong A-Level in Physics is often a key requirement for STEM courses. Our tutors can provide in-depth support throughout your child's A-Level studies, helping them secure the grades needed for university applications and ensuring they have a solid foundation for their degree.
How do I choose the best Physics tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking. This helps ensure you find someone with the right experience and teaching style.
How can a tutor help if my child has 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 going back to basics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-belief and change their attitude towards the subject.
How much does online Physics tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but typically range from £25 to £50 per hour. All our tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and vetted expert.
What if we don't click with the 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 tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for solving problems, and a way to share documents and past papers. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with specific topics like electricity or mechanics?
Yes. The beauty of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons can be tailored to your child's exact needs. If they're struggling with a specific area of the Physics curriculum, the tutor can dedicate entire sessions to that topic until your child feels confident.
Do you only offer academic subjects like Physics?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding with Python, or pick up a new language, we have expert tutors to help.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most tutoring sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to tackle a topic in depth without being overwhelming. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
Life can be unpredictable, we get it. Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You can discuss any changes with your tutor directly through our messaging system. Most tutors are very flexible, but please be mindful of their 24-hour cancellation policy.
