Chris P
Chris is a really patient and knowledgeable A-Level Chemistry tutor. Having been through quitea few chemistry tutors on tutorful before, I settled with Chris as Ifound his style of teaching really worked with me compared to other tutors. Chris' style for me is mainly to focus on understanding the key concepts to ensure I can apply these ideas to the exam effectively, and it is definetely working and I am gaining a lot of confidence very quickly. Would highly recommend.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Natalie G
Highly Recommended Maths Tutor!
Natalie is a fantastic tutor and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. She tailors every lesson to my daughter’s individual needs, and as a visual learner, my daughter finds her sessions engaging, fun, and easy to understand. Natalie prepares each lesson beautifully and always comes with creative ways to explain even the trickiest concepts.
We’ve used tutors for all three of our children over the years, and only Natalie and one other tutor have provided such thoughtful, detailed feedback after every session — something we find extremely valuable.
It’s genuinely hard to find a maths tutor who makes lessons enjoyable, but Natalie does exactly that.
For the first time ever, my daughter actually looks forward to her maths sessions! Her confidence has grown, and so have her skills.
I highly recommend Natalie to any child who struggles with maths or simply wants to strengthen their abilities. Thank you, Natalie, for your dedication and wonderful teaching approach!

asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE grades needed for New College Pontefract?
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.
