Reema S
Enthusiastic A level Economics Teacher
I have over ten years of teaching experience and am adept at adapting lessons to suit a variety of learning abilities. I have also marked and examined papers for the WJEC and so exam technique and feedback are key tools that I use in every lesson, to propel students into higher band marks.My approach to tutoring is the same as for learning: appreciate the big picture, understand why the subject matter is important and then dive into the detail. Once you appreciate the ‘why’, it makes the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ in Economics so much more enjoyable. I can help you join the dots, synthesise and really ...

Italian is such a vibrant language, full of drama and passion and to learn it properly you also have to use your hands!!

Ayma A
I had lessons with Ayma to help me prepare for an upcoming medicine interview. Despite the short notice I gave, she was able to fit in several sessions with me and was well prepared for each one, having a clear idea of what to cover. She went through every aspect of medicine interviews such as ethics, data, roleplay and personal skills, and boosted my confidence greatly. She was very kind and patient throughout, even when I struggled a lot with some answers, and she took time to explain everything clearly for me, including some technical and tricky concepts. I really appreciate her help and couldn’t have done my interview without her :-)

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at Cardiff or Swansea University. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure places at competitive universities. They can focus on achieving the required GCSE and A-Level grades, and some can even offer guidance on personal statements and university entrance exams.
We're aiming for specific A-Level courses at Coleg y Cymoedd. Can we find a tutor who understands the requirements?
Definitely. Our tutors are experts in their subjects and familiar with the curriculum. You can find a tutor who can help your child master the specific GCSE topics they need to meet the entry requirements for their desired A-Level courses.
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 do I choose the right tutor in Bargoed for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience and qualifications. You can also message them before booking to discuss your child's needs and ensure they're a great match.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, starting from around £20 per hour. All pricing is shown clearly on the tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs. You're in complete control.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check and is interviewed by our team before they can join the platform. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence for their exams?
A great tutor does more than just teach a subject. They provide a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help build your child's self-belief and reduce exam anxiety.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed for one-to-one learning. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for drawing diagrams and solving problems, and a way to share documents. It’s simple, secure, and all lessons are recorded for your child to review later.
Is it just for core subjects like Maths and English, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects, we also offer a huge range of other skills. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning to play the guitar or speaking Spanish, to coding in Python.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. Most importantly, you'll see it in your child's growing confidence, their willingness to tackle tricky subjects, and ultimately, in their school results.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. The frequency is completely up to you and what best suits your child's needs. Many families start with one session a week, but you can arrange more frequent lessons, especially in the run-up to exams.
How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for your subject, browse the profiles of available tutors, and send a message to the ones you like. Many tutors respond within a few hours, and you could have your first lesson booked for this week.
