Kathy F
Tutor in English and History GCSE level.
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior). I would help...

Michael is a great teacher for my Y11 son. My son always achieved 7-8 grade during his high school but only after a few months of taking science lessons with Michael he achieved 9 for all his science mock exam subjects! Both his knowledge and confidence is boosted. I highly recommend Michael.

Aaliya B
As a parent, I’m very happy with the support my son has received so far from Aaliya. She is friendly, reliable, and puts in extra time to organise resources for each lesson. She tailors the lessons to my child’s needs and always goes over the work carefully to make sure my child fully understands it. After just a few sessions, I can already see my child becoming more confident. I would definitely recommend her to other parents.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ and entrance exam preparation. You can filter your search for tutors with specific experience in helping children build the skills and confidence needed for the exam, and you can message them beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs.
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE grades needed for Burnley College or Accrington and Rossendale College?
Yes. Our tutors are brilliant at helping students prepare for their GCSEs. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Tutors can focus on specific areas your child finds difficult, work on exam technique, and help them feel ready and confident for exam day.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to explain your child's goals before booking to make sure you find the perfect fit.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the right match, which is why we have 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.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and has their ID and qualifications checked. They also undergo a background check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How can online tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a safe space makes a huge difference. Your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. By working at their own pace and turning 'I can't do it' moments into 'I've got it' moments, their self-belief grows with every session.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, starting from around £20 per hour. Each tutor sets their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find an expert tutor who fits your budget.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has features like a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might use it to work through tricky algebra problems with your child, review an essay together, or plan an exam revision strategy.
Is it just for core school subjects, or can my child learn something different like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have thousands of tutors for Maths, English, and Science, you can also find experts in everything from coding and music production to learning a new language or playing the guitar.
How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session per week works best for consistent progress, but you can arrange a schedule that suits your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your tutor.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. The best way is to have a regular chat with your child's tutor. They can provide feedback on what they've been working on and how your child is progressing. Many parents find this partnership really helpful.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
All you need is a laptop or desktop computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no software to install.
