Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child attends Cottenham Village College. Can a tutor align with their specific science curriculum?

Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced with the national curriculum and can tailor their support to what your child is studying at Cottenham Village College, whether that's for Key Stage 3 or preparing for GCSEs. They can help reinforce classroom learning, plug any gaps, and build confidence in specific topics.

Is online science tutoring as effective as in-person for practical topics?

Yes, and it offers unique advantages. Tutors use interactive whiteboards to draw diagrams, share simulations, and analyse data together in real-time. For topics that require visualisation, like molecular structures or electrical circuits, these digital tools can be even more effective than a textbook. It’s a dynamic and engaging way to learn.

With Cambridge so close, can a tutor help my child understand the pathways to studying science at a top university?

Many of our tutors are graduates from or currently studying at top UK universities, including Cambridge. They can provide invaluable insight into what it takes to study science at a higher level, offering guidance on A-Level choices, personal statements, and developing the critical thinking skills that universities look for.

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

Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. We have a first lesson guarantee: if you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How are your science tutors vetted?

We're incredibly selective because your child deserves the best. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted. Every tutor undergoes a rigorous selection process, including an interview and ID and background checks, ensuring they are not only subject experts but also passionate and skilled communicators.

My child's confidence in science is really low. How does tutoring help with that?

This is at the heart of what we do. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to say 'I don't understand' without fear of judgement. Tutors build them up by celebrating small wins, breaking down big problems into manageable steps, and showing them they are far more capable than they think.

Beyond science, can my child learn other skills like coding or a musical instrument?

Yes, definitely. We have a huge range of tutors covering over 300 subjects. From academic subjects like Maths and English to creative pursuits like guitar or animation, and future-facing skills like coding, we can help your child explore their passions and develop new talents.

How much does online science tutoring for a student in Cottenham cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15-£20 per hour. The price varies based on the tutor's experience and the level of study (e.g., GCSE vs. A-Level). You can easily filter by price on our platform to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.

How will I know if my child is making real progress?

It’s a partnership. Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress, highlighting areas of improvement and next steps. But you'll also see it for yourself – in their growing confidence, their willingness to tackle homework, and the way they start talking about science with more curiosity and excitement.

What technology do we need for an online lesson?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our custom-built online classroom runs directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to install.

Can we find a tutor who specifically focuses on A-Level Chemistry?

Of course. The benefit of accessing tutors from all over the UK is the incredible depth of specialism available. You can filter your search specifically for A-Level Chemistry tutors and view profiles to find someone with the exact experience to support your child through their exams.

We live in a village near Cottenham with patchy internet. Is online tutoring still an option?

We understand that rural internet can be a challenge. Our platform is designed to work well on most standard broadband connections. Many tutors are also flexible and can switch to audio-only if a video connection is struggling, ensuring the lesson can always go ahead. We recommend testing your connection before the first session.
