Sam F
Tutor for Mathematics of all Ages
I am now graduated from Oxford University with a degree in mathematics.Mathematics is a subject a lot of people struggle with, but only because it isn't taught like it should be. Maths can be a beautiful subject with visual intuition and ah-hah applications, and a bridge of so much more in between.I like to try and help teach people not just lists of facts to memorise, but to help them see why all of this works until it seems like common sense. A good mathematical education is one where you can see not just what you need to know, but deep under the hood as well.I remember when I was in school and...

Amirhossein S
Amir has been and continues to be fantastic.In a very short period of time (weeks) he has taken my son up a grade/grade and a half in both maths and computer science. We shall most definitely be continuing with Amir up to my son’s A levels and now fully expect him to achieve As in both. My son even said the other day that if he had had Amir a year ago, he could have even studied further maths. The confidence Amir has given my son back is quite something. I am very grateful to Amir, he is a very great tutor.

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.
