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.

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...

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 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.
