Science Tutor - Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

Greg has been tutoring my 13 year old Son.
My Son was way behind his peers in his Year group yet capable of so much more. Greg has been absolutely fantastic with my Son and my Son is much more confident and really engages with Greg. Greg is patient and an amazing tutor. We feel lucky to have found Greg. Thank you so much for.

Sam F
Sam has been truly inspirational for our son, Chester. He really wants to study triple Science for GCSES and struggles with remembering so much information and confidence. Our son is dyslexic and has dyspraxia and constantly struggles with reading accurately and using scientific vocabulary. Sam has so much experience in these areas and has spent time building Chester’s confidence so he can access Physics, Biology and Chemistry successfully. It is giving Chester time to revisit lessons that he feels he needs more time on, as well as practise more challenging skills. Sam has shown extensive knowledge not only in his subjects but also with learning challenges and special educational needs. We cannot thank Sam enough and plan to continue with Chester’s twice weekly lessons. His success has continued with amazing lesson reviews and also the results of Chester’s recent year 10 mock exams. Thank you Sam.

Rai S
Incredible! It’s fair to say that science was never one of my sons favourite subjects. My son has only had a few lessons with Rai so far but we are making it regular to support his GCSE exams.
Rai’s sessions are full of energy and my son has so much more confidence and loves the way Rai explains things. He has already learnt so much!
I would absolutely recommend!

Alan H
I wanted to share how much we appreciate the extra GCSE Science lessons Alan has been providing. My son has mentioned that the sessions are giving him a really solid understanding of the sciences, especially chemistry, which is helping him a lot with his revision. The one-on-one format is making a big difference—he finds it much easier to concentrate and is learning far more effectively. He’s even remembering things better, which shows how impactful Alan's teaching has been. Thank you for your dedication and support; it’s clearly making a positive difference.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for A-Level sciences to apply to the University of Exeter. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students bridge the gap between GCSE and A-Level. They can help your child secure the strong GCSE grades needed for their application and build the foundational knowledge required to thrive in their A-Level science courses.
The science curriculum at The King's School is demanding. Can a tutor provide the right level of extra support?
Yes. Our tutors create a personalised learning plan based on your child's specific needs and the school's curriculum. They can help reinforce what's being taught in class, work ahead on challenging topics, and provide extra practice to ensure your child feels confident and prepared.
How do I pick the right Science tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's goals. Finding someone your child connects with is key to building their confidence.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. With 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.
Are your tutors qualified to teach GCSE Science?
Yes. All our tutors are thoroughly vetted, and we check their academic backgrounds and teaching experience. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can trust they are experts in their field. You can see their specific qualifications on their profiles.
How much does online Science 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 budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By tackling difficult topics at their own pace and celebrating small wins, tutors help replace anxiety with a real sense of achievement and self-belief.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. You can discuss the ideal session length directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than core academic ones?
We do! While we have experts for core subjects like Science, Maths, and English, you can also find tutors for a wide range of skills, from learning an instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and Python.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom has lots of helpful features, including an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing. This allows your child and their tutor to work through problems, analyse texts, and review homework together, just as they would in person.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going and review their lesson plans. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's confidence and attitude towards the subject first.
