A solid pass in GCSE Maths gives them the problem-solving skills needed for A-Level sciences, while the ability to analyse a quote from 'Macbeth' in English Literature develops the critical thinking valued by top universities. These qualifications build the foundation they need to pursue competitive A-Levels and secure a place at universities like Durham or Newcastle, setting them up for a successful career.

Ellen B
Patient French tutor
I have just graduated with a degree in French and English from the University of Warwick and would like to encourage others to get involved in languages and the opportunities they provide. I would work with the student to decide which approach they would prefer - ranging from casual conversational practice, to studying set grammar and particular aspects of the language. Since I had a French tutor when I was younger, I understand the need for a confidence boost or a helping hand to provide extra practice outside of lessons, and I'm happy to help with either. My aim is to help learners feel more...

Alan W
Vastly experienced A level chemistry tutor
I have taught A level chemistry since 1988 and have experience of several examination boards (principally AQA and OCR but there is little variation in content between boards since 2015) both as a teacher and as an examiner. Until recently, I taught at a large 6th form college teaching A level chemistry only and led the department for ten years before becoming a senior manager. Chemistry can be a confusing subject due to the uniqueness of the language used and the impossibility of actually seeing the subject on a molecular level.However, it is a fundamentally logical subject and, hence, I like to...

Chris is a really patient and knowledgeable A-Level Chemistry tutor. Having been through quitea few chemistry tutors on tutorful before, I settled with Chris as Ifound his style of teaching really worked with me compared to other tutors. Chris' style for me is mainly to focus on understanding the key concepts to ensure I can apply these ideas to the exam effectively, and it is definetely working and I am gaining a lot of confidence very quickly. Would highly recommend.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Natalie G
Highly Recommended Maths Tutor!
Natalie is a fantastic tutor and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. She tailors every lesson to my daughter’s individual needs, and as a visual learner, my daughter finds her sessions engaging, fun, and easy to understand. Natalie prepares each lesson beautifully and always comes with creative ways to explain even the trickiest concepts.
We’ve used tutors for all three of our children over the years, and only Natalie and one other tutor have provided such thoughtful, detailed feedback after every session — something we find extremely valuable.
It’s genuinely hard to find a maths tutor who makes lessons enjoyable, but Natalie does exactly that.
For the first time ever, my daughter actually looks forward to her maths sessions! Her confidence has grown, and so have her skills.
I highly recommend Natalie to any child who struggles with maths or simply wants to strengthen their abilities. Thank you, Natalie, for your dedication and wonderful teaching approach!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How can online tutoring help my child succeed in their GCSEs at a Bishop Auckland school?
Our tutors can provide targeted support that complements the curriculum at schools like Bishop Barrington and St John's. By focusing on the specific areas where your child needs help, whether it's Maths, English, or Science, they can reinforce classroom learning, plug knowledge gaps, and build the confidence needed to perform their best in exams.
My child hopes to study at Durham University. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with their university applications. They can provide support with personal statements, interview preparation, and bridging any knowledge gaps to ensure your child feels confident applying to competitive universities like Durham or Newcastle.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat to discuss your child's needs before you book. It's all about finding someone your child connects with and you feel confident in.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. If for any reason you and your child don't get on with your first tutor, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Absolutely. Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor, and they must all pass an enhanced DBS background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does tutoring cost?
Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for them to learn from the comfort of home. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can tutoring really help my child's confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits parents notice. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. This personalised attention helps them overcome hurdles and builds their self-belief.
Is tutoring just for core academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
It's for much more than just school work! We have expert tutors who can teach everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar, to coding in Python, or even mastering a new language for a hobby. It's all about changing lives through learning, whatever the subject.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Some students have a weekly lesson to stay on top of their work, while others might just have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
How quickly will we see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our approach is designed to build momentum quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve their grades by at least one level.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
We understand that life gets busy. We have a simple and fair cancellation policy where you can cancel or reschedule a lesson for free, as long as you give your tutor at least 12 hours' notice.
