I couldn't rate Leah high enough. She really got on with my daughter and taught her at the pace required. My daughter passed her 11+ and Leah played a massive part in that :)

Callum A
Our son had a 15-minute introductory session with Callum focusing specifically on Transformations in Coordinate Geometry. We were genuinely impressed.
Callum explained rotations, reflections and translations in a clear, logical way, checked our son’s reasoning, and quickly identified the gaps in his understanding.
We’re now booking full sessions and feel confident that we’ve chosen a truly excellent maths tutor.

Rai S
Incredible! It’s fair to say that science was never one of my sons favourite subjects. My son has only had a few lessons with Rai so far but we are making it regular to support his GCSE exams.
Rai’s sessions are full of energy and my son has so much more confidence and loves the way Rai explains things. He has already learnt so much!
I would absolutely recommend!

I had my first session with Amie today and she was exceptionally helpful. I do both law and criminology a level and while my session was for criminology, I am now also considering law a level sessions. Amie is very fast at responding and really helped me to understand concepts in depth.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child has their heart set on Runshaw College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE grades they need?
Absolutely. Our tutors specialise in helping students prepare for their GCSEs. They can identify any areas of weakness, strengthen your child's subject knowledge, and teach them effective exam techniques to help them secure the grades needed for their desired A-Level courses at Runshaw.
We're hoping for a top university like Manchester or Liverpool. How does tutoring now help with that?
Strong GCSEs are the first crucial step towards a top university. They lead to the right A-Level choices, which form the basis of a strong UCAS application. By helping your child achieve their best at this stage, a tutor is building the foundation for their future academic success.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Adlington?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience. We recommend messaging a few tutors for a free chat before booking to make sure you find the perfect match for your child's personality and learning style.
Are the tutors properly vetted?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must pass an interview and have their ID and background checks verified before they can teach on our platform.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
Often, a lack of confidence comes from not wanting to ask questions in a busy classroom. In a one-to-one lesson, your child has a safe space to say "I don't understand" without any pressure. This personalised attention helps them master topics at their own pace, which is a huge confidence booster.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, and you can use our search filters to find tutors that fit within your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, a shared interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools. Your child can speak with their tutor face-to-face and work through problems together, just like they would in person.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also offer support for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or prepare for their 11+, you can find an expert tutor here.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically one hour long, and most families find that one session per week is a great starting point. However, the schedule is completely flexible and up to you. You can arrange whatever frequency works best for your child and your family.
How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for your subject, message a few tutors to check their availability, and book your first lesson. Many parents are able to find the right tutor and have their first session booked within 24 hours.
What subjects do you offer tutoring for?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. This includes all the core academic subjects from Primary up to degree level, such as Maths, English and Biology, as well as languages, humanities, and practical skills.
