Expert Online Tutors in Cockermouth to Help Your Child Thrive
When your child attends a great local school like Cockermouth School, you naturally want to see them achieve their very best. It can be worrying, though, to think about the pressure of GCSEs and whether they'll secure the grades needed for the A-Level subjects that open doors to top universities like Durham, Lancaster, or Newcastle.
You're not alone in feeling this way. Finding the right support can make all the difference, not just in their results, but in their confidence. One-to-one online tutoring provides a friendly, encouraging space where your child can ask questions freely, overcome challenges, and build a solid foundation for their future.

They build the critical thinking and knowledge needed for competitive A-Level courses and, later, for securing a place at their chosen university. With the right support, your child can develop the skills and confidence to turn their ambitions into reality.

Personalised Support to Help Your Child Stand Out
We believe the best results come from a true partnership between your child and their tutor. That's why we're so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Our tutors are not just subject experts; they're mentors who take the time to understand how your child learns, what motivates them, and where they need that extra bit of encouragement. It's a supportive relationship built on trust, which is why over 4,100 parents have rated us 4.6 stars. Every one-to-one session is built entirely around your child's needs. If they're struggling to structure an essay, the lesson will focus on that. If a specific area of the science curriculum feels tricky, their tutor will find new ways to explain it until it clicks. This tailored approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade – it’s about making real, measurable progress in the areas that matter most for their exams. Finding the right support shouldn't add more stress to your family's busy schedule. With our online platform, you can connect with the perfect tutor from anywhere in the UK, fitting lessons in whenever works for you – after school, at weekends, or during the holidays. It’s simple, flexible, and gives your child access to the very best support without you having to leave home.

Mustafa A
So far, I have had four lessons with Mustafa, and I have found him to be really supportive and thorough. In my first lesson, he took the time to identify my strengths and weaknesses in GCSE Chemistry so that he could prepare future lessons to the topics I was least confident in.
Throughout our lessons, we have worked through each topic carefully, making sure I fully understand the content before moving on. I also asked if we could go through my Chemistry mock exam questions in an upcoming lesson, and he was very happy to do so, which made me feel really supported. He always finishes lessons with exam questions, which has helped build my confidence and exam technique. Mustafa has also discussed revision techniques with me, which I’ve found very helpful when studying independently.
If there is any content I don’t understand, he quizzes me and explains it clearly until I feel confident. As someone who isn’t always confident in my answers, I now feel much more comfortable asking questions and learning from mistakes. I look forward to continuing my lessons with Mustafa. Thank you.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at a competitive northern university like Durham or Lancaster. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are graduates from these top universities and have first-hand experience. They can help your child not only master their A-Level subjects but also offer guidance on personal statements and university applications to help them put their best foot forward.
We're focused on getting the best GCSE grades at Cockermouth School. How can a tutor support this specific goal?
Our tutors can tailor sessions to the specific exam boards and curriculum used at Cockermouth School. They can focus on strengthening weaker areas, practising past papers, and honing exam techniques to help your child feel confident and prepared for their GCSEs. We've seen our support help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors 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, ensuring they feel comfortable and supported.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
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 sure you're choosing from the very best, highly-qualified educators in the UK.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 much does online tutoring in Cockermouth cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, starting from £20 per hour. Each tutor sets their own rates, and you can easily filter by price on our website to find an expert who fits your budget.
Can tutoring really help my child's confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits parents tell us about. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As they start to understand difficult topics, their self-belief grows, and this newfound confidence often benefits them in the classroom too.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like Maths and English, or can you help with hobbies too?
It's for everything! While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects from 11+ to degree level, we also have experts who can teach your child skills like coding, playing the guitar, learning a new language, or even public speaking. It's a great way to support their passions.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a live video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a dynamic and engaging way to learn, allowing your child and their tutor to work through problems together in real-time.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most families find that one session per week is a great starting point for consistent progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child with your chosen tutor. There are no contracts or minimum commitments.
Do we need any special equipment for online tutoring?
All you need is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a microphone and webcam (which are built into most modern devices). Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no software to install.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Many parents find the perfect tutor and have their first lesson booked within 24 hours. Simply search for your subject, browse our expert tutors, and send a message to the ones you like to arrange your first session.
