Charlie B
Mu daughter has recently started A-level maths lessons with Charlie. He is an excellent teacher. The lessons are well structured, with a strong focus on exam-style questions, which is exactly what is needed at this level. He also provides clear, constructive feedback after each session, which has been very helpful. We would highly recommend him to other A-level students.

Nial D
Nial tutored my son in computer science in the run up to his GCSE exam, due to a pretty useless teacher at school. They worked together once a week for maybe 3 months. My son was predicted a 1,2 or 3 by his teacher and with Nial's help he got a 9! Highly recommended. Never a moan from my son about a tutor session with Nial. They got on well and it was worth every single penny!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Are the tutors actually based in Barnstaple?
All our tutoring is online, which means you’re not limited to tutors who live locally. You can connect your child with the best subject specialists from across the UK, giving you a much wider choice of experts who are the perfect fit for your child's needs and learning style.
My child is thinking about studying at Petroc. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have extensive experience helping students prepare for the next step in their education. They can provide subject-specific support for A-Levels or BTECs, improve study skills, and build the confidence your child needs to succeed at college.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
We make it easy. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask questions and make sure they’re the right person to help your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is important. 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 much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must pass a background check before they can join our platform. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from a trusted and credible expert.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
It's for both! While we have thousands of expert tutors for academic subjects from Primary up to degree level, you can also find tutors to help your child learn a musical instrument, a new language, or even practical skills like coding.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, with live video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
It's completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. Many families find a regular weekly session works well for consistent progress, but you can arrange lessons as often as you need, whether it's for a one-off revision session or ongoing support.
Can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Tutors create a patient and encouraging environment where your child can work at their own pace. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-esteem and a positive attitude towards learning.
What results can I expect?
While every child is different, we know our approach works. 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. More importantly, our goal is to help your child feel more confident and capable in their studies, which is a success in itself.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are handled simply and securely through the platform. You add your card details to your account, and payment is taken automatically 24 hours after each lesson is completed. There are no hidden fees or complicated invoices to worry about.
