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!

asked questions
See all FAQs
How do I find the right Physics tutor for my child in Portsmouth?
Use our search filters to find tutors with experience in the specific area your child needs help with, from GCSE exam technique to A-Level mechanics. You can read reviews from other parents and message tutors for free to ensure they're a great fit before booking.
My child wants to study engineering at the University of Portsmouth. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our Physics tutors are university graduates or specialists in STEM fields. They can not only help your child secure the necessary A-Level grades but also provide valuable insight into university-level study and what admissions tutors are looking for.
The teaching quality varies across Portsmouth schools. How can a tutor bridge any gaps?
A one-to-one tutor provides consistent, high-quality support tailored to your child's needs. They can reinforce what's taught in school, fill in any knowledge gaps, and stretch your child with more challenging topics, ensuring they have a solid foundation regardless of their school environment.
How can a tutor help my child with their GCSE Physics exams?
Our tutors focus on the areas your child finds most challenging. They can help with everything from understanding core concepts to mastering exam technique. In fact, we find that private tutoring can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
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 expert who fits your family's budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed, and we carry out background checks before they can join the platform. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that finding the right personality match 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 does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for an effective lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for drawing diagrams and solving equations, and a document editor. It's simple to use and designed for learning.
Do you only offer academic subjects like Physics, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish to getting help with coding, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths by discussing it with your chosen tutor.
My child is just starting their GCSEs. Is it too early for a tutor?
Not at all. Starting with a tutor early can be a great way to build a strong foundation and develop good study habits from the outset. It helps prevent small difficulties from turning into bigger problems later on.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits. You can view each tutor's availability on their profile and find a time that fits around your family's other commitments, whether it's after school, in the evening, or at the weekend.
