Personalised Support That Puts Your Child First
The right tutor does more than just teach a subject; they build a real connection with your child. By understanding their unique learning style and where they're getting stuck, a tutor can create a supportive space where asking questions feels safe. We take the guesswork out of finding that perfect match by carefully vetting every tutor. In fact, we only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific goals. If they're finding algebra confusing, their tutor will find new ways to explain it. If they need help analysing quotes for an English essay, the session will focus entirely on that. This tailored approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, giving them the boost they need to succeed. Arranging support for your child should be simple. With online tutoring, there's no need to travel and you can find a time that fits perfectly around your family's schedule.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Are the tutors actually based in Atherton?
Our tutors are based all across the UK, not just in Atherton. The benefit of online learning is that your child gets access to the very best tutor for their needs, regardless of location. They will have a deep understanding of the UK curriculum your child is studying.
My child is thinking about applying to Wigan & Leigh College. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students with college applications, personal statements, and preparing for specific course requirements. You can message tutors before booking to ask about their experience in this area.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
It's a great question. We recommend reading tutor profiles, checking their qualifications and experience, and watching their introductory videos. You can also read reviews from other parents, which is why we're proud to have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. Messaging a few tutors first is a great way to find the perfect fit.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process for all tutors. We interview every applicant and only 1 in 8 make it onto our platform. All tutors must also have a valid DBS background check.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, subject, and level of study. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. You can easily filter your search to find brilliant tutors in Atherton who fit within your budget.
Can a tutor help my child become more confident?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. In a one-to-one setting, your child gets the tutor's full attention. This safe space allows them to ask questions without fear of judgement, and celebrating small victories along the way does wonders for their self-esteem.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
It's for both! While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects from primary level through to university, we also have experts who can teach practical skills and hobbies. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with coding, or even learn a new language.
How do the online lessons actually work?
The lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and working through problems, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Is online tutoring as good as in-person tutoring?
Many parents find it's even better. Online tutoring gives you access to a much wider pool of expert tutors, not just those who live nearby. It's also more convenient, with no travel time, and our interactive online classroom has tools that make learning really engaging for your child.
How often should my child have a lesson?
It's completely flexible and up to you. Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week provides the consistency needed to make real progress, but you can arrange sessions as often as you feel your child needs them.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Once you find a tutor you like the look of, you can send them a message to arrange a time. Many of our 200,000+ happy students have been able to book their first lesson within 24 hours.
