The Right Support, Right When Your Child Needs It

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.

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.

Alan W
Vastly experienced A level chemistry tutor
I have taught A level chemistry since 1988 and have experience of several examination boards (principally AQA and OCR but there is little variation in content between boards since 2015) both as a teacher and as an examiner. Until recently, I taught at a large 6th form college teaching A level chemistry only and led the department for ten years before becoming a senior manager. Chemistry can be a confusing subject due to the uniqueness of the language used and the impossibility of actually seeing the subject on a molecular level.However, it is a fundamentally logical subject and, hence, I like to...

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!

My daughter had only a brief time with Christopher but he was very reliable. He was very thorough in the topics we requested and obviously knew economics in detail. He expanded on subjects when required but kept it simple to understand- thank you so much for your time
Would recommend Christopher!

She is absolutely amazing!! I am a mature student studying A levels; moving from a design background into science is a huge leap, Chinaze has been nothing but supportive and helpful. Her knowledge is impressive and she’s extremely flexible with lessons. Every time I’ve had a session with her, I’ve left feeling very confident. I’m that annoying student who is always asking why and she always has an answer, even if it’s not relevant to the subject. Really grateful to have found her :)

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.
