John has been an excellent English IGCSE tutor. He is very organised, enthusiastic and communicates clearly. He quickly built a strong rapport with my daughter, putting her at ease, and she is really enjoying the lessons and getting a lot out of them. John is helping her to build confidence, structure exam answers and prepare effectively for revision, and I feel the tutoring will be very beneficial in the run-up to her exams.

asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a grammar school like Latymer. Can I find a specialist 11+ tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have experience helping children with the specific requirements for competitive grammar schools. You can use our search filters to find tutors with proven experience in entrance exams and even mention your target school when you message them.
My child hopes to go to a London university. Can a tutor help with their A-Levels?
Definitely. Securing a place at a top London university requires strong A-Level results. Our tutors can provide expert, subject-specific support to help your child master their A-Level content, refine their exam technique, and build the confidence they need to achieve the grades they're aiming for.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents just like you. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
How much does online tutoring in Cockfosters cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control.
Can tutoring help improve my child's GCSE grades?
Yes, it can make a real impact. One-to-one support that is tailored to your child's needs can help them tackle tricky topics and master their exam technique. In fact, our data shows that working with one of our tutors can improve a student's GCSE results by up to two grades.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has been through a rigorous selection process, including identity checks and an enhanced DBS background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can make a huge difference to a child's confidence. By working at their pace in a safe space, your child can ask questions freely, overcome hurdles, and start to see that they are capable of succeeding.
Is it just for core school subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer support in over 300 subjects! While we have experts in core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, you can also find tutors for modern languages, coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, and much more.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes a two-way video call, an interactive whiteboard for solving problems together, and a way to share documents and past papers.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically one hour long, but you can arrange different lengths with your tutor. Most students have one session per week, but this is completely flexible and can be adjusted to fit your child's needs, especially around exam time.
How quickly can we start?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for your subject, message a few tutors you like the look of, and you could be having your first lesson within a day or two.
