It’s not just about what your child knows, but how they think. A great tutor helps them connect ideas, analyse sources on topics from current affairs to ethics, and articulate their thoughts clearly. These are the skills that will make their personal statement shine and help them excel in interviews, strengthening their entire university application.

Lily L
Encouraging and enthusiastic singing tutor
I like to centre my lessons around singing in relation to a wider picture of increasing confidence, teaching strong work ethic and nurturing creativity. With my teaching I like to cater my approach to what you want. This can range from going very in depth on the technical sides of singing, (looking at posture, diction, expanding your range etc.), all the way to more creative and performance based lessons (focusing on songwriting, stage presence and confidence). My default is to do a mixture of these 2 approaches. I graduated from Falmouth University with a First Degree Honours in Popular Music...

Jazvir K
Jazvir is an exceptional teacher who is truly dedicated and hardworking. He carefully tailors each lesson to meet the individual needs of his students, ensuring they fully understand the material. His explanations are always clear, structured, and easy to follow. He adjusts the pace of the lesson according to the student’s ability, which makes learning both comfortable and effective.
What really stands out is his explicit and thorough teaching style — he makes sure the student builds real confidence and a strong understanding of the topic. Additionally, he sometimes goes the extra mile by spending additional time with my daughter to ensure she fully grasps the lesson.
I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive, patient, and highly professional tutor.

Gloria J
Definitely a tutor I would recommend for English. Friendly, helpful and assuring for such vast knowledge in English you can identify her in having through the lessons you have with her. She structures lessons well to allow you to engage and be educated at a steady pace where your weaknesses are identified simultaneously, and further improving on it, fortifying your foundation on the subject whilst also gaining more exposure and experience to answering past paper questions.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is applying to competitive London universities. Can a tutor help strengthen their application?
Absolutely. A tutor can provide invaluable support with the whole UCAS process. They can help your child refine their personal statement to showcase their skills, practise interview techniques, and build a deep understanding of their subjects that goes beyond the textbook, helping them stand out to admissions tutors.
We live in Catford and are looking at local sixth forms. Can a tutor help with this transition?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in helping students make the leap to A-Levels. They can help bridge any knowledge gaps from GCSEs and introduce the independent study skills needed to succeed in sixth form, building a strong foundation for the next two years.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child will respond to.
How much does online tutoring cost in Catford?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £20 to £50 per hour, depending on their experience and the subject level. You can see each tutor's rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from home.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background checked before they can join our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring you get the highest quality support.
My child feels quite anxious about their studies. How can a tutor help?
A one-to-one environment is perfect for building confidence. Our tutors create a relaxed, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help turn anxiety into achievement.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond the school curriculum, you can find tutors for everything from coding and public speaking to learning a musical instrument like the guitar. It's a great way for your child to explore new interests.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. Consistent weekly lessons are the best way to build momentum and achieve long-term progress.
Can a tutor help specifically with exam technique?
Definitely. This is one of the most common reasons parents seek a tutor. They can teach your child how to manage their time in an exam, structure their answers effectively, and understand exactly what examiners are looking for to maximise their marks.
How do I book a lesson?
It's easy. Just search for your subject, find a tutor you like, and send them a message to arrange a time that works for you. You can then book and pay securely through the platform. Many tutors offer a trial session to get started.
