I love teaching languages. I have taught Latin and Spanish in both the independent and maintained sectors and have run Adult Education courses for Local Authorities. I tutor Latin, Spanish and French at both GCSE and “A” Level.

Having examined many past papers at both GCSE and A Level, I am very familiar with the examination style and content in my subjects of expertise. I graduated in Classics (Latin and A...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're aiming for a place at St Paul's or The Harrodian. Can I find a tutor with experience in these specific entrance exams?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ and 13+ entrance exams for specific independent schools. You can view their profiles to see their experience, read reviews from other parents, and even message them to discuss your child's specific goals before booking.

My child is at a local state primary. Can a tutor help them compete for a place at a top independent school?

Yes, of course. A great tutor can help bridge any gaps and build on the excellent education your child is already receiving. They can provide targeted support in specific areas of the curriculum or exam technique, helping to level the playing field and boost your child's confidence.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?

We make it easy. You can filter tutors by subject and level, then read their detailed bios, qualifications, and reviews from thousands of other parents. We recommend watching their introductory video and sending a message to a few tutors to find the perfect personality match for your child.

What if my child doesn't click with their 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 don't feel it's the right fit, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

Are the tutors properly vetted?

Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview every tutor to ensure they meet our high standards – we're proud to say we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.

How much does online tutoring in Barnes cost?

Prices are set by the individual tutors and vary based on their experience and the subject level. Rates are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs or subscriptions. You simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.

How do I know if my child is making progress?

Tutors provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. The biggest sign of progress, however, is often a change in your child's confidence. You'll likely see them feeling more positive about a subject they used to find tricky and more willing to tackle challenges in their schoolwork.

Is it just for school exams, or can you help with other skills?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have amazing academic tutors for everything from phonics to degree-level physics, we also have experts who can teach your child life-long skills like coding, playing the guitar, or learning a new language.

How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?

One-to-one attention in a safe, supportive space makes all the difference. When a child has the freedom to ask questions without feeling embarrassed, they start to see that they *can* understand difficult topics. Each small win builds their self-belief, which has a positive impact that goes far beyond any single subject.

How does Tutorful compare to other platforms?

We're proud to be trusted by parents across the UK, with a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. Over 200,000 students have found success with our tutors, who are all hand-picked for their expertise and passion for teaching.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, so there's no extra software to download.

How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?

You can get started today. Simply search for your subject, browse available tutors, and send a message to the ones you like. Most tutors reply very quickly, and you could have your first lesson booked in just a few hours.
