Callum A
Our son had a 15-minute introductory session with Callum focusing specifically on Transformations in Coordinate Geometry. We were genuinely impressed.
Callum explained rotations, reflections and translations in a clear, logical way, checked our son’s reasoning, and quickly identified the gaps in his understanding.
We’re now booking full sessions and feel confident that we’ve chosen a truly excellent maths tutor.

Incredible! It’s fair to say that science was never one of my sons favourite subjects. My son has only had a few lessons with Rai so far but we are making it regular to support his GCSE exams.
Rai’s sessions are full of energy and my son has so much more confidence and loves the way Rai explains things. He has already learnt so much!
I would absolutely recommend!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child has their heart set on a competitive course at Manchester or Sheffield. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our A-Level tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top universities. They can focus on achieving the specific grades needed, strengthen your child's subject knowledge, and even help with university-level thinking and exam technique to make their application stand out.
We live in Buxton. How can an online tutor help my child compete with students from bigger city schools?
Online tutoring levels the playing field. It gives your child access to specialist tutors from all over the UK, regardless of your local school. This one-to-one attention helps fill any knowledge gaps, builds confidence, and ensures they can perform at their absolute best in crucial exams, putting them on equal footing.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like Maths or English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects from the 11+ right through to degree level, we also offer support for hobbies and professional skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
It's simple. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents just like you. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to find someone your child will feel comfortable learning with.
How much does private tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary based on their experience and subject. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
My child's confidence has taken a knock. Can a tutor really help?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. A great tutor celebrates small wins and builds them up, which often leads to a huge boost in self-belief.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a two-way interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a good internet connection, a microphone, and a webcam.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a rigorous selection process, including an identity and background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and verified expert.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This really depends on your child's goals. Most families find that one lesson a week is a great way to build momentum and see consistent progress. You can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor during your initial chat.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going. The best sign, of course, is seeing your child's confidence and understanding grow week by week.
Why should I choose Tutorful?
Tutorful is one of the UK's most trusted online tutoring platforms, with a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. We've helped over 200,000 students find the right support, with 90% of them improving by at least one grade. Our mission is to change lives through learning.
