Lee N
Lee has been a great tutor for our 15-year-old son, Leo. He’s really helped him with structuring his essays and breaking things down in a way that makes it much easier for Leo to understand and apply in his school work.
What’s made the biggest difference though is Lee himself. He has a really great personality and a relaxed way of teaching that puts Leo at ease straight away. Leo feels comfortable being himself in the sessions, which means he’s much more open to asking questions and having a go.
Since starting with Lee, Leo’s confidence with English has grown a lot and he’s actually started enjoying the subject again. The support and encouragement Lee gives has been really valuable for him in preparation for his GCSE's.

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to study at Cardiff University. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure places at top universities. They can help your child achieve the A-Level grades they need, and some can even offer support with personal statements and entrance exam preparation, giving them the best possible chance of success.
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE grades needed for Cardiff and Vale College?
Yes. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and know what it takes to get the grades needed for competitive post-16 courses. They can create a tailored revision plan to target weaker areas and build your child's confidence heading into their exams.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Barry?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to make sure they're the perfect fit for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our 'first lesson guarantee'. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, 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 rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and the subject level. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, making it easy to find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one to ensure they are of the highest quality. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without the pressure of a classroom. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them overcome learning barriers and see that they are capable of achieving their goals.
Is it just for school subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for core academic subjects, we also have experts who can teach practical skills like coding or a new language, help with university-level courses, or even teach hobbies like guitar and chess. There's something for everyone.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
What levels do you offer tutoring for?
We offer tutoring for all levels, from Primary and 11+ preparation through to GCSEs, A-Levels, and even degree-level subjects. Whatever stage your child is at, we have an expert tutor who can help.
My child is really struggling with their GCSEs. Can a tutor really make a difference?
Yes, they can make a huge difference. A dedicated tutor can focus on the exact topics your child finds difficult and build a revision strategy that works for them. We find our support can help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at a different pace, but our tailored approach is designed to get results. Because lessons are focused entirely on your child's needs, progress can often be seen much faster than in a classroom setting. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
