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!

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at the University of Southampton. Can a tutor help them get the right A-Level Physics grade?
Absolutely. Many of our Physics tutors are specialists in A-Level and have experience helping students secure the A or A* grades needed for competitive STEM courses at Russell Group universities, including Southampton.
We're aiming for a top sixth form like Peter Symonds. Can a tutor focus on the GCSE Physics topics needed?
Yes. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can create a tailored plan to target the specific areas your child needs to strengthen, helping them feel prepared and confident in their exams to secure a place at their chosen college.
How do I choose the right Physics tutor for my child?
It's a personal choice, and we make it easy. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to find someone your child will get on with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 much does a Physics tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees – you only pay for the lessons you book.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, our tutors help turn 'I can't do it' into 'I can'.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join us.
What happens in a typical online Physics lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which features a whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might use it to work through a tricky algebra problem in mechanics, analyse graphs, or review past paper questions with your child.
How long are the lessons?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time for students to stay engaged and make real progress without feeling overwhelmed.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You could be having your first lesson within a few days. Many of our tutors reply within 24 hours, so you can find the right person and get started quickly.
Can a tutor help with both GCSE and A-Level Physics?
Yes. Many of our tutors are experienced across multiple levels. You can check their profiles to see if they specialise in GCSE, A-Level, or even university-level Physics to find the perfect match for your child's needs.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we are here to help with academic work like Physics, your child can also learn a new hobby or professional skill, from playing the guitar to coding in Python.
