Why Strong Grades Open Doors for Your Child
Strong GCSE results in key subjects like Maths, English, and Science are more than just grades on a piece of paper; they're the foundation for your child's future. They are the entry ticket to competitive A-Level courses at great local colleges. Mastering algebra in Maths, for instance, is crucial for STEM subjects, while being able to analyse a quote from 'Macbeth' in English develops the critical thinking skills needed for any university degree. These qualifications show universities and future employers that your child has the skills and determination to succeed.

How Online Tutoring Helps Your Child Thrive
Finding the right tutor is about finding the right person to partner with your child. Our tutors, who are all background-checked and carefully selected (we only accept 1 in 8 who apply), take the time to understand how your child learns. They'll build a rapport, create a safe space to ask questions, and adapt their teaching style to what works best for them. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific goals. If they're struggling to get their head around chemical equations in Chemistry or need to refine their essay technique for History, the tutor will focus the session exactly where it's needed. This targeted support is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and for GCSEs, it can mean a boost of up to two grades. With online tutoring, you can forget about evening drives to a tutor's house. You can find the perfect subject expert from anywhere in the UK and schedule lessons that fit around your family's busy life. All your child needs is a laptop and an internet connection to join the 200,000+ happy students who have learned with Tutorful.

Clara C
Clara is simply an incredible tutor and mentor. Her intuition and sharpness are unmatched; she has a genius for tailoring every single lesson to our son’s specific interests, which keeps him completely engaged. She doesn't just teach the material—she understands how his mind works and guides him with genuine care. We feel so lucky to have her as a mentor in his life.

Gearoid C
Gearoid supported my son with GCSE English during a key transition period in Year 11. My son had moved schools and was adjusting to a different GCSE specification, which had left noticeable gaps in his knowledge. Gearoid helped him bridge those gaps methodically and clarified the expectations of the exam board.
From the very first session, there was a shift in confidence. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid.” Over time, that developed into him saying he “felt clever.” For a student who can struggle with processing speed and exam anxiety, this was a significant and meaningful change.
Gearoid is calm, professional and thoughtful in his approach. He communicates clearly, is reliable, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. I am grateful for the role he played in rebuilding both understanding and belief.

Mamun A
We are very happy with the support our child is receiving in preparation for the 11 Plus. From the beginning, Manum created a warm, encouraging environment where our child felt completely comfortable and at ease. Instead of feeling pressured, our child actually looks forward to the lessons and is happy to sit through each session fully engaged.
The tutor explains concepts clearly and patiently, adapting their approach to suit our child’s learning style. What has stood out just as much is the ease in communication between our child and Manum which leads to constructive dialogue about strengths and areas to focus on.
Overall, we’ve been extremely impressed with the professionalism, dedication, and genuine care shown. Both our child and we as parents would wholeheartedly recommend this tutor to anyone preparing for the 11 Plus.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Runshaw College. Can a tutor help them achieve the necessary GCSE grades?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the high GCSE grades—like 6s, 7s and 8s—required for competitive colleges like Runshaw and Winstanley. They can focus on specific syllabus areas and exam techniques to help your child feel confident and prepared.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Liverpool or Manchester. Can tutoring help with that long-term goal?
Yes, it's a great way to build a strong foundation. By securing excellent GCSE and A-Level grades with the help of a tutor, your child strengthens their UCAS application, giving them the best possible chance of getting into top universities like Liverpool and Manchester.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from over 4,100+ other parents, and filter by subject and experience. You can also message tutors for free before booking to discuss your child's needs and make sure it's a good fit.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. You'll see each tutor's hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to learning. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement. Tutors celebrate small wins and help them see their own progress, which can make a huge difference to how they feel about a subject.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, which includes identity and background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join us.
Is it just for core school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for Maths, English, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding in Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a two-way video stream, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, making learning from home easy.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and your child. Most families find that a one-hour lesson per week is a great starting point for consistent progress, but you can schedule more frequent sessions around exams or less frequent ones for general support.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
It's easy to manage your schedule. You can rearrange or cancel lessons with your tutor directly through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress and upcoming goals. Seeing their confidence grow and their test results improve is often the best indicator of success.
