Ricarda M
My daughter has been using Ricarda for A Level German tuition for the past couple of months. My daughter's test grades have already gone up and her teacher has commented on the progress she has made over the last couple of months. Ricarda is very personable, reliable and responsive. She listens, and quickly understood the areas my daughter needs to work on. She is a great tutor and I'm very happy that I chose her to support my daughter. I would highly recommend Ricarda!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for Colchester's grammar schools. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have experience helping children with the specific requirements for competitive entrance exams, including those for the Colchester County High School for Girls and the Royal Grammar School. You can filter for tutors with 11+ experience on their profiles and chat with them beforehand to ensure they're the right fit for your child.
We live in Brightlingsea. Are the tutors also local?
Because all our tutoring is online, your child can connect with the very best tutors from across the UK, not just those in the local area. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists, from 11+ experts to A-Level subject gurus, ensuring you find the perfect match for your child’s needs without being limited by geography.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to success. That's why we have a first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is it just for core school subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects, we also have experts who can help your child explore a new passion or skill. You can find tutors for everything from learning to play the guitar and coding in Python to mastering a new language.
There are so many tutors! How do I choose the right one for my child?
It's easy to find a great match. You can use our filters to narrow down by subject, level, and price. We recommend reading tutor reviews from other parents, watching their introductory videos, and sending a message to a few to chat about your child's goals before booking. It helps you get a feel for their personality and teaching style.
How much do tutors in Brightlingsea cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, but you can expect to pay between £25 and £45 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can see the price clearly on every profile, so you can find someone brilliant who fits your budget.
Can a tutor really help my child's confidence?
Absolutely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, your child can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class, work at their own pace, and celebrate small wins, which makes a huge difference to their self-esteem.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and engaging. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, so your child and their tutor can work through problems together just as they would in person. All you need is a computer or tablet and a stable internet connection.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant to assess their expertise and teaching ability. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent sessions in the run-up to an exam or less frequent ones for general support. You can discuss the best plan with your tutor.
How do I know Tutorful is a trusted platform?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students achieve their goals. We have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 customer reviews from parents just like you, which we hope gives you confidence in the support we provide.
Can you help with GCSEs specifically?
Yes, GCSEs are one of our specialities. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child feel prepared and confident for their exams. In fact, our tailored approach has helped students improve their final GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
