Strong Qualifications: Opening Doors Beyond the Cynon Valley
Strong GCSEs are more than just grades on a piece of paper; they're the key that unlocks your child's future choices. Whether it's tackling tricky algebra in Maths or analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' in English, mastering these core subjects develops the critical thinking skills that colleges and universities look for. A solid set of qualifications, including the Welsh Baccalaureate, gives your child the confidence and the credentials to pursue their ambitions, from securing a place at the University of South Wales to exploring career paths you might not have even considered yet.

The Right Support for Your Child's Success
We believe the best learning happens when there's a real connection. That's why we help you find a tutor who not only knows their subject inside-out but also understands how to bring out the best in your child. They'll take the time to get to know their learning style, creating a safe space where asking questions feels easy. We handpick the best tutors from across the UK, with only 1 in 8 applicants making the cut, so you can be sure your child is in great hands. Every online lesson is built entirely around your child's needs. If they're struggling with a specific part of the Welsh Baccalaureate, their tutor can focus on that. If they need to boost their confidence ahead of their Maths GCSE, the sessions will target those exact topics. This focused attention is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade – it's learning that’s made for them, and it can help improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades. Juggling school, homework, and family life is busy enough. Our online platform makes tutoring simple and stress-free. You can find and message tutors anytime, and schedule lessons that fit perfectly around your family's commitments.

Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Mountain Ash Comprehensive. Can a tutor tailor lessons for their specific curriculum?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in the GCSE curriculum, including the specifics taught in Welsh schools. When you message a tutor, you can mention your child's school and the topics they're covering. The tutor can then tailor their lessons to match the curriculum, helping your child feel confident and prepared for their exams.
We're hoping for a place at Coleg y Cymoedd or the University of South Wales. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience helping students with their applications for further and higher education. They can help your child strengthen their subject knowledge to meet entry requirements and build the academic confidence needed to succeed in their next steps. Some tutors can even offer guidance on personal statements.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't feel the first tutor is the right fit, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find tutors for modern languages, musical instruments like guitar, and even practical skills like coding and Python.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents just like you. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to explain your child's goals. This gives you a feel for their approach before you book a lesson.
How much does online tutoring in Abercynon cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and subject. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single UK-based tutor is required to have an up-to-date DBS check. We also personally interview every tutor and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors are brilliant at breaking down tricky topics, celebrating small wins, and tailoring praise to your child, which makes a huge difference to their self-esteem.
How does the online classroom work?
It's a simple, all-in-one system. Your child and their tutor can see and hear each other via video call, and they can use the interactive whiteboard to share files, draw diagrams, and work through problems together, just like they would in person.
Can a tutor help my child with the Welsh Baccalaureate?
Yes. Many of our tutors are familiar with the requirements of the Welsh Baccalaureate and can provide specific support for the Skills Challenge Certificate or Individual Project, helping your child develop the skills they need to succeed.
How many lessons will my child need?
It really depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly lessons to build their knowledge over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply find a tutor you like the look of and send them a message. Most tutors reply within 24 hours, and you could have your first lesson booked for later this week.
