Lawrence C
After trying several tutors for A-Level Chemistry, I can say for certain Lawrence has been my favourite as he is patient and helps you understand the topic in full to further consolidate knowledge. I’ve had him for months and would definitely say he’s helped me gain more confidence in chemistry. Would recommend him to anyone trying to improve their Chemistry grades.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in GCSE preparation and can help your child target the specific grades needed for competitive sixth forms like New College Pontefract. They can focus on exam technique, revision strategies, and filling any knowledge gaps to build their confidence for exam day.
My child is hoping to study at the University of Leeds or York. Can a tutor support their A-Level studies?
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.
How does online tutoring work?
It’s simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like Maths and English?
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.
