Mathematics and all three sciences can be covered at GCSE in any combination and I have gained a sound working knowledge...

Hanan R
Hanan has been an amazing tutor for my daughter over the past few months. She was really struggling with science before, but with Hanan’s support her confidence and understanding have improved so much, and her results are now noticeably better. Hanan is incredibly patient, passionate, and explains things in a clear way that actually makes sense. She genuinely cares about her students and always goes the extra mile to make sure they understand, not just memorise. I couldn’t recommend her enough. she’s a fantastic teacher!

Abi, has tutoring our daughter for GCSE science Since September. Our daughters mock exam results have drastically improved and she is far more confident in this subject. Abi is knowledgeable, patient and is able to have fun with something our child finds very difficult. She has found the best way to support her learning needs so our daughter gets the most from the session. Would highly recommend. Thanks Abi

Subham M
Subham is an excellent maths and science tutor. He does not make maths feel intimidating; instead, he focuses on helping students understand the fundamentals properly, which builds confidence and makes problem-solving much easier. He explains concepts clearly and uses strong, practical examples to break down mathematical and scientific problems. This approach greatly supports understanding, and my daughter responds very well to his teaching style and enjoys learning with him.

asked questions
See all FAQs
How can online Science tutoring specifically help my child in St Ives prepare for A-Levels at Truro and Penwith College?
Our online Science tutors can provide targeted support to ensure your child masters the foundational knowledge required for competitive A-Level courses. They'll focus on strengthening understanding of key GCSE Science topics, developing crucial analytical skills, and even begin to explore advanced concepts, giving your child a significant advantage for their application and success at Truro and Penwith College.
Can a tutor help my child achieve the grades needed for environmental or marine science courses at Exeter's Penryn campus?
Absolutely. Many of our expert Science tutors have backgrounds in environmental or marine sciences themselves, or extensive experience helping students achieve top grades for university entry. They can help your child not only improve their Combined Science GCSE grades but also develop a deeper understanding and passion for these subjects, which is invaluable for university applications and future careers in Cornwall's sustainable industries.
My child struggles with a specific area of Science, like chemistry equations or physics concepts. Can a tutor help?
Yes, that's precisely where one-to-one tutoring shines! Our tutors specialise in breaking down complex topics into manageable steps. Whether it's mastering stoichiometry in chemistry, understanding forces in physics, or grasping genetics in biology, your child's tutor will identify their specific difficulties and provide tailored explanations and practice until they feel confident.
How do I pick the right online Science tutor for my child?
We make it easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and compare experience and specialisms. We encourage you to message a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs and goals before booking. This helps ensure you find a tutor whose teaching style and personality will best suit your child.
How much does online Science tutoring cost?
Tutor rates vary depending on their experience and qualifications, but you'll find a range of options to fit your budget. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile. There are no hidden fees, and you only pay for the lessons your child takes.
What if my child doesn't get along with their first Science tutor?
We offer a 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. Your child's comfort and progress are our top priorities, and we want to ensure you find the right fit.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person tutoring for Science?
Absolutely, in many ways, it's even more effective and convenient! Our interactive online classroom allows for screen sharing, virtual whiteboards, and instant document collaboration, making it ideal for visual subjects like Science. Your child can learn from the comfort of home, saving travel time and making it easier to fit lessons into busy family schedules.
How does a tutor help my child build confidence in Science?
Confidence grows with understanding and success. A dedicated tutor provides a safe, non-judgemental space for your child to ask questions, make mistakes, and truly grasp concepts at their own pace. By celebrating small victories and providing consistent encouragement, tutors empower your child to believe in their own abilities, transforming their attitude towards Science.
Beyond school subjects, can my child learn other skills through Tutorful, like coding or a musical instrument?
Yes, Tutorful offers a wide range of subjects beyond traditional academic studies! Your child can explore their passions and develop new skills, whether it's learning to code in Python, mastering a musical instrument like the guitar or piano, or even developing specific skills for personal projects. Just search for the subject your child is interested in.
How do you ensure the safety and quality of your online Science tutors?
Your child's safety is paramount. Every tutor on Tutorful undergoes a rigorous vetting process, including enhanced DBS checks, identity verification, and thorough interviews. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child learns from highly qualified, experienced, and background-checked professionals committed to creating a safe and effective learning environment.
Can my child get help with exam preparation for their Science GCSEs?
Definitely. Our Science tutors are highly experienced in exam board specifications and can provide targeted revision, practice past papers, teach effective exam techniques, and help your child understand mark schemes. This focused preparation significantly reduces exam anxiety and helps your child perform their best on the day.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person tutoring for Science?
You can communicate directly with your child's tutor to discuss their progress and set goals. Tutors often provide feedback after sessions, and you'll see your child's confidence grow as they master new topics and improve their grades. Our platform also tracks lesson history, allowing you to review what's been covered.
