Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic Science Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Are your tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in Rainford schools?

Absolutely. Our tutors are experts in the UK national curriculum, including specifications for AQA, Edexcel, and OCR exam boards used by schools across the country, including in Rainford. They can tailor lessons to complement your child's schoolwork and focus on the specific areas they need to improve.

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

Yes, and it offers unique advantages. Our tutors use interactive whiteboards to draw diagrams, share simulations of experiments, and work through problems in real-time. This makes complex topics like cell biology or electrical circuits easy to visualise. Plus, your child gets access to a far wider choice of subject specialists from across the UK, not just whoever is local.

What happens if we don't get on with the first Science tutor we try?

It's so important that your child and their tutor have a great connection. We understand that finding the right fit is key. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

With the North West being a hub for science and industry, can a tutor help my child see future career paths?

Many of our tutors have backgrounds in science-related industries and can provide fantastic mentorship. They can discuss their own experiences in fields like engineering, research, or healthcare, helping your child in Rainford connect what they're learning in the classroom to real-world opportunities in the region and beyond.

How are your Science tutors vetted?

We're very selective because your child's education is too important to leave to chance. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed by a subject specialist, and we carry out thorough background checks, including an enhanced DBS check, to ensure they are qualified to provide the highest standard of tuition.

My child needs help with GCSE Triple Science. Can we find a specialist?

Yes. We have a huge range of Science tutors who specialise in different areas. Whether your child needs support with GCSE Combined Science, Triple Science (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics), or specific A-Level subjects, you can use our filters to find a tutor with the exact expertise you're looking for.

How much does online Science tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study (e.g., A-Level vs. KS3). You can easily browse profiles and filter by price to find an excellent tutor who fits your budget.

What equipment does my child need for an online lesson?

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

How quickly can we start lessons?

You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors respond to messages within a few hours. You can message a few potential tutors, have a brief chat about your child's needs, and often schedule the first lesson within a day or two.

Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than Science?

We do! We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. So whether your child needs help with Maths or English, wants to learn a new language like Spanish, or even explore a skill like coding or playing the guitar, we have expert tutors ready to help.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. They'll discuss your child's progress with you, highlighting areas of improvement and outlining the plan for future lessons. You'll be able to see their confidence grow as their understanding deepens and their results improve.

Can a tutor also help with university applications for science degrees?

Yes, many of our A-Level Science tutors have extensive experience helping students with their UCAS applications. They can provide invaluable guidance on personal statements, help with interview preparation, and offer insights into what top universities are looking for in science candidates.
