Nobody should fear any of the maths that exist in our...

Flora I
Flora is a very patient, professional and well-prepared tutor. She always explains things clearly and teaches my son how to answer GCSE questions in a structured way. She provides homework, goes through mistakes carefully, and shows him how to improve his answers step by step. She also adjusts her teaching according to my son’s exam boards and level. My son is less anxious about English now and is slowly gaining confidence. We are very happy with her support and would definitely recommend her.

Sam D
I would highly recommend Sam as a physics tutor. She has been teaching my daughter, and the experience has been excellent. Sam is extremely kind, patient, and supportive, which has helped my daughter feel more confident and comfortable with a subject she previously found challenging. Sam explains complex physics concepts clearly and in a way that is easy to understand. She is always well prepared, encouraging, and genuinely invested in her student’s progress. My daughter has not only improved academically but has also developed a more positive attitude toward physics thanks to Sam’s teaching approach. Sam is a dedicated and reliable tutor, and I would strongly recommend her to any parent looking for high-quality physics tuition.

Miles R
When I met Miles, I was averaging around a C in nearly all of my assessments. Within a few months of tutoring, I jumped and improved to consistently receiving A/A*s in my assessments. His lessons are well-structured and tailored to exactly what I need help with. Breaking down difficult concepts and going through exam questions helped me build confidence in my answers. I would recommend Miles to anyone studying economics.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at a comprehensive in Braintree and wants to get into Colchester Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the top-tier GCSE grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can work with your child on specific subjects, improve their exam technique, and build the confidence they need to perform at their best.
We live near Braintree and are preparing for the 11+ for the Essex grammar schools. Can we find a specialist?
Yes, you can. We have many experienced tutors who specialise in 11+ preparation, including the specific requirements for the CSSE (Consortium of Selective Schools in Essex) exam. You can filter your search to find tutors with proven experience in this area.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend reading tutor profiles and reviews from other parents. You can send messages to a few tutors to ask about their approach, and many offer a free introductory chat to make sure it's a good fit before you book a lesson.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. There's a live video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and working through problems together, and a space to share documents. It's simple, effective, and all in one place.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors are background-checked and we personally interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join us.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While academic subjects are very popular, we have expert tutors for a huge range of skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or practise a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor for them here.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have our first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest hurdle. One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. By working at their pace and celebrating small successes, a tutor can help them believe in their own abilities again.
How much does online tutoring in Braintree cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. You can easily filter by price to find great tutors who fit your budget, with no hidden costs.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor if you feel your child would benefit from it.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You'll also likely notice a change in your child's confidence and attitude towards their studies. Many parents tell us their child starts to feel much more positive about a subject they once found difficult.
How quickly can we get started?
It can be very quick. You can browse and message tutors right away. Many tutors reply within 24 hours, and you could have your first lesson booked for your child in just a few days.
