The Right Support, Right When Your Child Needs It
We believe the best learning happens when a tutor truly understands your child. That's why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring they are not just subject experts, but also caring mentors. They'll take the time to get to know your child's learning style, pinpoint exactly where they need help, and build a supportive relationship that helps their confidence grow. Every single lesson is planned around your child's specific goals. If they're struggling with a particular topic in Chemistry or need to refine their essay technique for History, the session will focus on that. This one-to-one attention means they can ask questions without feeling embarrassed and make real, measurable progress. It's no wonder 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Finding the right support shouldn't add more stress to your family's schedule. With our online platform, you can connect with the best background-checked tutors from across the UK, right from your home in Castleside.

This was a general chat with Alex regarding our requurements. Went very well and we have decided to use Alex going forward. Only issue is that Alex wasn't able to add the session as a chat and so we have been charged - possibly an issue with the app which I am sure we can get resolved

My first lesson with Miss Dania was very helpful. She explained core concepts of topics Iwas struggling with very well and made sure the lesson was interactive by constantly asking me questions and marking me think deeper about the reasoning behind difficult topics. She also explained how to answer questions based on the markscheme and went through exam questions with me thoroughly too.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to a competitive university like Durham or Newcastle. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with their UCAS applications. They can provide support with personal statements, interview practice, and mastering the A-Level topics needed to secure a place on competitive degree courses.
We're in Castleside and my child needs top GCSE grades to get into a good sixth form. Can a tutor help them stand out?
Yes, this is exactly where one-to-one tutoring can make a big difference. A tutor can focus on closing knowledge gaps and refining exam technique to help your child achieve the highest possible grades. For GCSEs, our support can help students improve by up to two grades, giving them a much stronger application.
How do I pick the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, read reviews from other parents, and see their qualifications. We recommend messaging a few tutors before booking to ask questions and make sure they’re a good fit for your child's personality and learning needs.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Are your tutors properly vetted?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the UK's best.
How much does tutoring cost in Castleside?
Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you only pay for the lessons you book.
How does online tutoring work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Can tutoring really help my child's confidence?
Yes, building confidence is one of the biggest benefits of tutoring. In a supportive one-to-one setting, your child can ask questions freely and get positive reinforcement. Mastering topics they once found difficult is a huge boost to their self-esteem.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Your child can learn practical skills like coding or a new language, or explore creative passions like learning the guitar or music production. Simply search for the subject you're interested in.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find a weekly lesson is ideal for consistent progress, especially when preparing for exams. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can book lessons as often as you need, whether it's for a one-off boost or regular weekly support.
How long are the lessons?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without losing focus. You can discuss different lesson lengths directly with your chosen tutor if needed.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are simple and secure. You add your payment details to your account, and we automatically process the payment 24 hours after each lesson is completed. You can review all your charges in your account dashboard.
