Jessica C
Jessica is really knowledgeable and professional. We loved that she arranged a free video call with our son and us before we booked. Really lovely to meet her and our son was straight away comfortable. She is really knowledgeable on the GCSE AQA English exam and has been a great support to our son so far. Jessica will tailor the lesson to his needs as well as picking up on weaknesses that need more practice. Most importantly, our teenage son is quite animated and enjoying his lessons with Jessica. We could not wish for anything more. We would highly recommend. &

He seems really happy so far. Would highly recommend.

Joe T
Joe has been a great tutor for my kids. Firstly, he is very friendly which puts them at ease from the very start of the lesson. This has been really important for my son especially, as he is not keen on English Comprehension so to have someone who is easy to chat to and open to questions has been key.
Secondly Joe knows his stuff! He is a very experienced teacher so he has been able to explain complex grammar and comprehension concepts in a way my children understand.
He has been a great find!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study A-Levels locally. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE grades they need?
Absolutely. This is one of the main reasons parents in Alfreton come to us. Our tutors are experts at helping students target the specific grades needed for their chosen A-Level subjects. They can focus on closing knowledge gaps and improving exam technique to help turn a potential grade 6 into a 7 or 8.
Can a tutor help my child with their application to universities like Nottingham or Derby?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience guiding students through the university application process. Beyond achieving the right A-Level grades, they can help with personal statement writing and preparing for interviews, giving your child a stronger chance of securing a place at their preferred university.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It’s all about finding someone your child connects with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for success. That's why we have our 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.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a live video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a secure and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of home, with all lesson materials saved for them to review later.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked with an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident for their exams?
Confidence comes from feeling prepared. Tutors provide a supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By mastering tricky topics and practising past papers, they'll walk into their exams feeling capable and ready to do their best.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like Maths and English, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects, we also offer support for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding in Python, or learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor here.
How many lessons a week will my child need?
This really depends on your child's goals. Most families start with one hour-long session per week for a particular subject. Your tutor can discuss a plan with you after the first lesson to figure out what will work best for your child.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. The personalised, one-to-one focus means your child can make progress much faster than in a classroom setting.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. After each lesson, tutors provide feedback on what was covered and how your child is getting on. This, along with regular communication via our messaging system, helps you stay informed and confident in the progress they are making.
