Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE grades needed for A-Levels at Petroc or Bideford College?

Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Bideford come to us. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target the specific grades they need for competitive sixth form or college places. They can focus on weak spots, practise exam technique, and build the confidence your child needs to perform their best.

My child is hoping to apply to universities like Exeter or Plymouth. Can tutoring help with this?

Yes. While our tutors primarily focus on subject-specific support for A-Levels, building strong academic foundations is crucial for a successful university application. A tutor can deepen your child's subject knowledge and passion, which shines through in personal statements and interviews.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?

You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.

How much does online tutoring in Bideford cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, but typically range from £25 to £50 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to upload documents and share screens. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.

How do you check your tutors are safe?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who applies is accepted onto our platform.

Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

It's for so much more! While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have experts who can teach practical skills like coding or learning a musical instrument like the guitar. It's a great way to support your child's hobbies and personal development too.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know that the right fit is crucial for success, which is 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.

Can tutoring help my child if they've lost their confidence?

Yes, this is often one of the biggest benefits parents see. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. A great tutor celebrates small wins and helps them see their own progress, which can make a huge difference to their self-esteem.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is ideal for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want to arrange more sessions in the run-up to an exam, or fewer during school holidays. You can discuss the best approach directly with your chosen tutor.

What subjects do you offer tutoring for?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. From core academic subjects for 11+, GCSE and A-Level, to university-level support and professional qualifications. You'll also find tutors for languages, music, coding, and much more.

What happens if we need to reschedule a lesson?

Life happens, and we understand that. You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 12 hours' notice, as per our cancellation policy, to avoid being charged for the session.
