Dania H
Dania has helped me so much with a level chemistry. Her lessons are amazingly balanced between deeply understanding the content and the concepts behind them, as well as exam questions. The active recall which occurs during our sessions really helps me to remember the content. I did badly in my year 12 exams and so I am resitting them, Dania has helped me to find a balance between tutoring me on the year 12 and year 13 content so that I don't become overwhelmed. Her experience which clearly shows in her tutoring methods, combined with her kind and patient nature makes my lessons enjoyable and helpful.

Dr Eddison L
I cannot thank Edd enough for the support he gave me throughout my dissertation. His feedback was consistently clear, detailed, and incredibly constructive, helping me to strengthen both my academic writing and overall structure. Edd took the time to explain areas for improvement in a way that was encouraging and easy to understand, which really boosted my confidence. His guidance made a huge difference to the quality of my work, and I genuinely feel I could not have achieved the same outcome without his help. I would highly recommend Edd to anyone needing academic support — his knowledge, professionalism, and dedication are outstanding. Best regards Neliy

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.
