Ahmad A
An experienced and knowledgeable tutor
It is usually said that knowledge is power; I prefer to say that knowledge is illumination. This is because power appeals to the corruptible, but illumination appeals to the noble.I have always had a passion for sharing knowledge I acquired with others, and I hope to be able to do the same with you.For this reason, I began working as a private tutor for the past couple of years, teaching to both children and adults. I worked with students studying American and British curricula, teaching them the subjects of mathematics and science. Additionally, I spent a few years working with a team in the digital...

Humira F
Making history accessible and enjoyable
I have been teaching History for 18 years to students ranging from age 11-18.
My passion for History was ignited in the classroom and this is something that I endeavour to pass onto my students. My teaching style focuses on the stories of the past which allows students to connect and empathise with individuals and helps them make correlations to today’s society.
My teaching style has always incorporated a friendly and energetic flair to engage students and allow the subject to be accessible as I feel students too readily dismiss History as ‘boring’- something which definitely is not true....

Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic primary tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Chris P
Chris is a really patient and knowledgeable A-Level Chemistry tutor. Having been through quitea few chemistry tutors on tutorful before, I settled with Chris as Ifound his style of teaching really worked with me compared to other tutors. Chris' style for me is mainly to focus on understanding the key concepts to ensure I can apply these ideas to the exam effectively, and it is definetely working and I am gaining a lot of confidence very quickly. Would highly recommend.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Natalie G
Highly Recommended Maths Tutor!
Natalie is a fantastic tutor and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. She tailors every lesson to my daughter’s individual needs, and as a visual learner, my daughter finds her sessions engaging, fun, and easy to understand. Natalie prepares each lesson beautifully and always comes with creative ways to explain even the trickiest concepts.
We’ve used tutors for all three of our children over the years, and only Natalie and one other tutor have provided such thoughtful, detailed feedback after every session — something we find extremely valuable.
It’s genuinely hard to find a maths tutor who makes lessons enjoyable, but Natalie does exactly that.
For the first time ever, my daughter actually looks forward to her maths sessions! Her confidence has grown, and so have her skills.
I highly recommend Natalie to any child who struggles with maths or simply wants to strengthen their abilities. Thank you, Natalie, for your dedication and wonderful teaching approach!

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 attends The de Ferrers Academy. Can we find a tutor familiar with their curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience supporting students from specific schools. You can view tutors' profiles to see their experience and even message them before booking to ask if they're familiar with the curriculum at schools like de Ferrers or John Taylor High School, ensuring a great fit for your child.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Birmingham. Can a tutor help with A-Levels?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in A-Level subjects and university applications. They can provide targeted support to help your child achieve the grades needed for competitive universities like Birmingham, Loughborough, or Nottingham, and can also offer guidance on writing a compelling personal statement.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. If the first lesson isn't quite right, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It's part of our First Lesson Guarantee.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects, we also offer support for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding in Python, or prepare for a music grade exam, you can find an expert tutor to help.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles, see qualifications, and check ratings and reviews from other parents—we have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors and sending them a message to discuss your child’s needs before booking. It’s all about finding the right personality for them.
How much do tutors in Burton upon Trent cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level. This transparency allows you to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
Can tutoring help if my child is feeling anxious about exams?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. This personalised support often leads to a big boost in confidence, which makes a real difference in the classroom and during exams.
How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and an identity verification. We also interview our tutors and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom is designed for interactive learning. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for solving problems together, and a way to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Many families start with one session a week, but you can arrange more frequent lessons during exam periods or less frequent ones for general support. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, and for many children, it's even more effective. Online lessons remove travel time, take place in a familiar home environment, and use interactive tools that make learning more engaging. It allows you to connect with the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live nearby.
What subjects can I find a tutor for?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. From core subjects like Maths, English, and Science for GCSE and A-Level, to primary school support, 11+ preparation, degree-level help, and even hobbies. You’re almost certain to find the support you need.
