Personalised Support to Help Your Child Thrive
We believe the best learning happens when a student feels understood. That's why our tutors take the time to get to know your child—their strengths, their goals, and the areas where they feel stuck. By understanding how your child learns best, their tutor can create a supportive partnership that builds genuine confidence, not just for the next exam, but for their entire academic journey. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child. If they're struggling with a specific Maths topic for their GCSEs or need to refine their essay technique for A-Level History, the session will focus precisely on that. This targeted approach means no time is wasted. Your child gets the exact help they need to make real, measurable progress and feel in control of their studies. Finding the right support in Carlisle shouldn't add to your busy schedule. Our online platform makes it simple to connect with the UK's best tutors from the comfort of your home. You can schedule lessons at times that suit your family, whether it's after school or on a weekend, giving your child access to top-quality tutoring without the stress of travel.

Teach a man to fish; you'll feed him for a lifetime.
Hi, I’m a Master’s graduate in Biomedical Science from the University of Glasgow, and I’m passionate about helping students achieve their academic goals in a way that’s both fun and effective.Growing up, I found school challenging—balancing coursework with extracurricular activities made it difficult to maintain high grades. However, once I reached university, I developed better study strategies that helped me excel and achieve top marks. This experience has shaped my approach to tutoring: I focus on understanding concepts, not just memorizing theory. I believe that when students grasp the why b...

Ayma A
I had lessons with Ayma to help me prepare for an upcoming medicine interview. Despite the short notice I gave, she was able to fit in several sessions with me and was well prepared for each one, having a clear idea of what to cover. She went through every aspect of medicine interviews such as ethics, data, roleplay and personal skills, and boosted my confidence greatly. She was very kind and patient throughout, even when I struggled a lot with some answers, and she took time to explain everything clearly for me, including some technical and tricky concepts. I really appreciate her help and couldn’t have done my interview without her :-)

Jack R
Very patient and very clear when explaining stuff. Doesn’t go too fast and really knows what he’s talking about. I knew basically nothing about python before I got him, now I’m much more confident with everything and am able to do some good coding on my own. Would definitely recommend if you’re interested in anything python related!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at Lancaster or Newcastle. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students strengthen their university applications. They can focus on achieving the specific A-Level grades needed, provide guidance on personal statements, and help your child build the academic confidence to apply to competitive universities.
The local schools in Carlisle are very competitive. How can a tutor help my child keep up?
A one-to-one tutor can give your child the individual attention that's not always possible in a busy classroom. They can work at your child's pace, reinforce topics covered at school, and focus on specific areas of difficulty, ensuring they feel confident and prepared to meet the high standards of their school.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also offer support for a wide range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language for fun, you can find a brilliant tutor to help them explore their interests.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience on their profiles. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs and make sure they're the perfect match.
How much do tutors in Carlisle cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £40, depending on their experience and the subject level. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a two-way video call, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and working through problems together, and a chat function. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from home.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted professional.
My child's confidence is low. Can a tutor really help with that?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. A tutor can create a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement, celebrate their small wins, and show them they're capable of succeeding. Many parents tell us this is the most significant change they see.
How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, this can be up to two grades. The consistent, personalised support from a tutor helps close learning gaps and builds a stronger understanding of the subject, which leads to better results.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can discuss lesson length with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
Can I book lessons as we go, or do I need to commit to a block?
It's completely flexible. You can book one-off lessons for help with a specific topic or arrange regular weekly sessions to provide ongoing support. You're in control and can schedule tutoring to fit around your family's needs.
