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.

Michael R
Experienced and effective Science Tutor
I am an experienced tutor and have been working in Somerset for the last fifteen years. In the past I have tutored students who cannot access full-time education for different reasons (health, mobility, faith and behavioural, for example) and always try to tailor my tuition to the individual's needs.I have worked as an examiner for both A level (chemistry), GCSE (sciences) and SATS (maths) so this means I am able not only to tutor the subject but also improve examination technique. Mathematics and all three sciences can be covered at GCSE in any combination and I have gained a sound working knowledge...

Libbiksha C
We’ve been really pleased with the support our daughter has received from Libby. She is patient, encouraging, and explains things in a way that really clicks for her. Her confidence in science has grown so much already, and she actually looks forward to the sessions each week. Although early days, It’s been wonderful to see her progress. We are thrilled to have found Libby and we would definitely recommend her!

Aishat A
Aishat is a great tutor and we’ve been really pleased with the support she’s given my son. He has weekly GCSE Science (AQA) tutoring with her, and she has taken the time to really understand his learning habits. He’s completely comfortable with her, which has made a big difference to his confidence. Aishat is always punctual, responds promptly to messages, and keeps me well informed about my son’s progress. What’s been especially reassuring is that topics she’s covered with him have already come up in his mock exams, and he was able to answer those questions confidently. We’re very happy with the progress he’s making and would happily recommend her.

My son has a short attention span and Abdellah has found ways to keep my son engaged throughout the lessons.
Abdellah assesses what the students require and puts together a plan going forward. He is very knowledgeable and a very good teacher for my son.

Amira K
Anabelle really enjoys her science lessons with Amira. She is becoming more confident after every session and often tells us how much she learns in just one hour, which is amazing to see. We are so glad we found Amira.
Anabelle is currently in Year 9 and is considering taking Triple Science for her GCSEs, so starting now and continuing next year feels like the perfect approach. Amira has been a fantastic tutor so far. If Anabelle needs some support in maths once she reaches Year 10, I will definitely look to book lessons with Amira again, if she has availability.

They can guide your child through challenging concepts, strengthen their understanding for exams, and even discuss how to approach personal statements or interview questions for sought-after university courses, giving them a real edge.
Is Tutorful only for academic subjects like Science, or can my child explore other interests?
While we excel in academic support, Tutorful offers much more! Your child can also find tutors for a wide range of skills and hobbies, from learning to play the guitar or piano, to mastering coding languages like Python, or even developing specific business skills. It's all about helping your child grow and discover new passions.
What if my child doesn't get along with their Science tutor?
We understand that finding the right fit is important. That's why 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 priority.

Tutor prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications, but you'll find options to suit different budgets. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile.
