Hanan R
Hanan has been an amazing tutor for my daughter over the past few months. She was really struggling with science before, but with Hanan’s support her confidence and understanding have improved so much, and her results are now noticeably better. Hanan is incredibly patient, passionate, and explains things in a clear way that actually makes sense. She genuinely cares about her students and always goes the extra mile to make sure they understand, not just memorise. I couldn’t recommend her enough. she’s a fantastic teacher!

Greg S
Greg has been absolutely fantastic with my 14 year old son. He went from dreading learning to actually looking forward to sessions, which has been a huge shift for us.
Greg is highly empathetic and quickly understood Harry’s SEN profile, identifying areas of weakness and adapting his teaching style and pace to suit him perfectly. The one-to-one approach worked incredibly well for my son's anxiety, and as a result we’ve seen clear academic progress alongside a big boost in confidence.
He has also built a strong relationship with Greg in a short space of time and genuinely sees him as a trusted adult, which has made all the difference. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend Greg to anyone looking for a tutor who truly understands and supports the individual child.

Jacqueline D
Booking an appointment with Jacqueline was a last ditch attempt to help my young son through a tough time at school. He had been struggling with multiplication tables that had once come very easy to him. Jacqueline was easy to communicate with, flexible and really listened to what he needed to progress and feel successful. He genuinely looked forward to his lessons and came out happy and playful from them. The result was a 25/25 on his times tables test!! What was even better was the confidence she gave him back. I couldn't recommend Jacqueline more highly. She changed math for him and put it right back where it belonged in his heart.

They can focus on exam technique, revision strategies, and filling any knowledge gaps to build their confidence for exam day.

Definitely. A strong A-Level performance is crucial for applications to respected universities like Leeds and York. Our A-Level tutors are experts in their subjects and can provide the in-depth support your child needs to aim for top grades and develop the independent study skills valued in higher education.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Castleford?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals. Finding someone your child connects with is key to building their confidence.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from £15. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments; you simply pay for the lessons you book.
Are your tutors background checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background checked and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, all a child needs is a place where it's safe to say "I don't understand." In a one-to-one session, your child gets a patient expert who can explain things in a new way and celebrate their progress. This personalised attention is fantastic for building self-belief.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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.

Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects from Primary through to degree level, we also have experts who can teach practical skills like learning to play the guitar, coding in Python, or even public speaking. It's all about learning what you love.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and your child. Most families find a weekly one-hour session works well for consistent progress, but you can arrange lessons more or less frequently depending on your goals, such as extra support in the run-up to exams.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to help you see the progress your child is making. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their development and focus areas for upcoming lessons. Open communication is a key part of the process.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. Rescheduling a lesson is easy. You can arrange a new time directly with your tutor, as long as you give them at least 12 hours' notice before the original lesson time.
