The primary years are about so much more than just passing tests. During this time, your child builds the core skills and confidence that they will carry with them throughout their education. A solid grasp of Maths and English at this stage helps not only with SATs and the 11+, but also opens doors to better GCSE results, A-Levels, and ultimately their applications to top London universities like UCL, Imperial, or even Oxbridge. Making sure your child succeeds at primary school means helping them to succeed throughout their entire academic journey.

Zak K
Experienced Primary Tutor & Student Doctor & Pharmacist
I am a Pharmacist turned medical student who has been tutoring Maths and Science since 2016. I chose these two subjects as I have a strong understanding of the core topics in both. This allows me to utilise different techniques when conveying the knowledge to my students. So if a student doesn't understand something the first time, Iapproach the topic again with an alternative strategy to ensure the student understands. One of my strengths as a tutor, besides my strong command of Maths and Science, is my patience. I understand that Maths and Science do not come as naturally to others as they do...

Lina H
Professional and inspiring Primary and English tutor
Maths is usually the subject students struggle with most at school mainly due to the lack of individual help during lessons. Students often don’t ask for help when faced with a topic they find hard and so they develop gaps in their learning, which in itself become problematic later on. In my opinion the first objective of private tutoring in maths should be to systematically deal with those gaps, which are usually identified within the first couple of lessons. Once the gaps are covered, we can then proceed to cover the necessary course material based on individual requirements.I have extensive e...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We live in a London grammar school borough. Can a tutor help my child with the 11+?

Yes, we have many primary school tutors that specialise in 11+ preparation. They have extensive experience with the specific requirements of the exams, from Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning to Maths and English, and can create a tailored plan to help your child feel confident and prepared on exam day.

My child's SATs results will be important for secondary applications in London. How can a tutor help?

Our tutors can provide focused support to ensure your child feels ready for their SATs. They can identify any gaps in understanding in key areas like Maths and English, practise exam techniques, and build your child's confidence so they can perform at their best.

How do I choose the right primary tutor for my child?

You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their introduction videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before you book.

How much does primary tutoring in London cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget using our search filters. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find high-quality support that works for your family.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know how important the right fit is. If for any reason you and your child don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we'll cover your first session with a new tutor. It's our First Lesson Guarantee.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one attention from a patient and encouraging tutor can transform a child's confidence. By breaking down tricky topics in a safe space where making mistakes is part of learning, tutors help your child experience those breakthrough moments that build self-belief and a positive attitude towards learning.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor, and all tutors must have a valid DBS check before they can teach on our platform. We're selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe hands.

How does online tutoring work?

Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features 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.

How long are the tutoring sessions?

The standard lesson length is one hour, which we find works best for maintaining focus and making real progress. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.

Can tutoring fit around our busy family schedule?

One of the biggest benefits of online tutoring is its flexibility. You can view each tutor's availability on their profile and schedule sessions at times that suit your family, whether it's after school, on weekends, or during school holidays.

How quickly will we see progress?

Every child learns at their own pace, but many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. Consistent weekly lessons are the best way to build momentum and see measurable improvement in their schoolwork.

Are the tutors background-checked?

While we offer fantastic support for core academic subjects, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding, or even a new language for fun.
