Ffion W
Absolutely fabulous.. my daughter was in tears this week as her teachers at college refused to help , and isolated her from the class. Tonight after just one hour with Ffion, she has turned a corner for my daughter, going from feeling like a failure to feeling positive again and given her hope that she can do this. Cant thank her enough .. will definitely be booking her again.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to Durham University. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our A-Level tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for applications to top Russell Group universities like Durham and Newcastle. They can provide subject-specific support to help your child achieve the required grades and can also offer guidance on personal statements and interview techniques.
We're worried about the step up from GCSEs at Teesdale School to A-Levels. Can a tutor help bridge that gap?
Yes, this is a common reason parents seek support. Our tutors can help your child make a smooth transition to A-Levels by reinforcing core GCSE knowledge and introducing them to the more demanding concepts and study skills required for post-16 education. This can build their confidence right from the start of Year 12.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel it's not the right fit, just 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 for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. You can also send a message to a tutor before booking to discuss your child's needs and see if they are a good match. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every UK-based tutor must have an up-to-date DBS check. We also interview every single tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe and encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling self-conscious. Tutors can go over topics at your child's pace, helping them truly understand a subject. This mastery builds genuine confidence that they'll carry back into the classroom.
Is it just for core academic subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for all school subjects, we also have experts who can teach practical and creative skills. Whether your child wants to learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or master a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor to support their passion.
How much does online tutoring cost in Barnard Castle?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically start from around £15. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level. You can use the filters on the search page to find a great tutor who fits your budget.
How does the online classroom work?
It's simple and all in your browser – no downloads needed! Our online classroom has video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and working through problems, and a facility for sharing documents. It's designed to be as engaging and effective as being in the same room.
How many lessons do we need to book?
There's no commitment. You can book as many or as few lessons as your child needs. Many families choose to have a regular weekly lesson, while others book sessions to prepare for a specific exam or to work on a tricky topic. It's completely flexible.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss lesson length with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and learning style.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can message your tutor at any time, and they will be happy to provide feedback on your child's progress, highlighting areas where they are improving and what they plan to work on next. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
