Ben H
Experienced and engaging tutor of English and music.
I firmly believe that teaching is a two-way process. Whether I'm in a classroom or online, I will create a dialogue so the pupils/tutees feel involved in the process and are able to question, inquire and verbalise what we are learning. Very few people learn by being told something once, so my tutoring sessions are generally about discovery, mastery and learning side by side to answer the big questions along with my years of expertise providing the content.I have worked in education for 12 years in all sorts of settings, with a huge range of pupils. My track record is impressive and I firmly believe...

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Kent Test. Can I find a tutor with specific experience?
Absolutely. Many parents in Canterbury use Tutorful for this exact reason. You can filter for tutors who specialise in 11+ and Kent Test preparation. They have a deep understanding of the exam format and can help your child build the skills and confidence they need.
We're aiming for a place at Simon Langton or Barton Court. Can a tutor help with that goal?
Yes, they can. Our tutors can help your child master the specific curriculum and exam techniques needed to perform their best. While we can't guarantee a place, a tutor provides dedicated, one-to-one support to help your child reach their full academic potential.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable and engaged with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your 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 much does online tutoring in Canterbury cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an expert tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden fees.
Can a tutor really help my child's confidence?
Yes, it’s 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 too shy to ask in class. This personalised attention and positive reinforcement from a tutor can make a huge difference to their self-esteem.
Is it just for academic subjects, or can my child learn a hobby?
It's for both! While we have thousands of expert tutors for subjects like Maths, English, and Science, you can also find brilliant instructors for music, coding, new languages, and even learning to play the guitar. It's a great way to support your child's passions.
How do you make sure tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview them to verify 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 in great hands.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work through problems together, just like they would in person.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most families start with one session a week, but you can arrange more frequent lessons during busy exam periods or less frequent top-up sessions as needed. It's completely flexible.
Will my child's grades actually improve?
We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. With personalised support tailored to their exact needs, your child can overcome hurdles and develop a deeper understanding of their subject, which naturally leads to better results.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today! Simply search for your subject, browse our expert tutors, and message them directly to arrange a first lesson at a time that works for your family. Many tutors can start within a few days.
