Alice A
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.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Are your tutors physically based in Ilminster?

Our tutors aren't based in Ilminster itself. Instead, we connect students in Ilminster with top, background-checked Science specialists from all over the UK via our online classroom. This gives your child access to a much wider choice of experts than would be available locally.

Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a hands-on subject like Science?

Yes, absolutely. Our online platform features interactive whiteboards, file sharing, and video chat, allowing tutors to use diagrams, simulations, and real-world examples to explain complex scientific concepts. For many students, learning from the comfort of home actually helps them focus better and build confidence faster.

My child attends Wadham Community School. Can a tutor tailor lessons to their specific curriculum?

Of course. Our tutors are experienced in tailoring their approach to the curriculum your child is following, whether it's for KS3, GCSEs, or A-Levels. They can work in sync with school topics, help prepare for specific tests, or focus on filling in any gaps.

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

Finding the right personality match is crucial. We're so committed to this that if you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor to ensure you find the perfect fit.

How much do online Science tutors for students in Ilminster cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £50 depending on their experience and the level of study. You can browse profiles and filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden fees.

My child's confidence in Science is very low. How can a tutor help with that?

This is at the heart of what we do. A one-to-one tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-belief step-by-step, which is often the biggest barrier to progress.

With Ilminster's rural surroundings, can a tutor link Science to the local environment?

What a great idea! Many of our tutors love making Science relevant to a child's world. Whether it's discussing the biology of local wildlife or the chemistry of agriculture, a tutor can use your local context to make abstract concepts tangible and exciting for your child.

What do we need to get started with online lessons?

It's simple. All you need is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a webcam with a microphone. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to install.

How are your tutors vetted?

We're very selective because your child's safety and quality of education are our top priorities. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must pass a subject knowledge test, an interview, and undergo a background check before they can join Tutorful.

Can we get help with A-Level Chemistry specifically?

Yes. We have tutors who specialise across all scientific disciplines and levels, including Biology, Chemistry, and Physics from KS3 right up to A-Level and beyond. You can filter your search to find a tutor with the exact expertise your child needs.

Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than Science?

We do! We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, from core academic areas like Maths and English to music, languages, and even coding. Whatever your child is passionate about or needs support with, we can help you find a great tutor.

How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?

You can get started very quickly. Many parents find and message a tutor within minutes of searching on our platform. Most of our tutors reply promptly, and you could have your first lesson arranged within a day or two.
