Join me for fun-filled lessons in Economics
I start with the very basic interaction and allow the student to lead the lesson by sharing their strengths and likings. Economics allow us so much flexibility that lessons can start from literally anything that can be of interest to a student. Lessons develop like an interesting story with inputs coming in from both the tutor but mainly the student.I try to bring the numbers and diagrams as and when student feel ready. I also aim to incorporate some past exam questions frequently in my lectures. Students typically receive some written, some numeric and some research based tasks on weekly basis...

Megan G
Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

Alisdair T
Alisdair is a real pro. I was stuck with the SPSS analysis of my thesis and in three short sessions he explained everything in such a learner-friendly way that I could navigate around all the functions with ease. I highly recommend Alisdair for similar projects and wanted to also send a big THANK YOU all the way from Austria!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Cottenham Village College and wants to apply to Hills Road or Long Road. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students strengthen their GCSE performance to meet the entry requirements for competitive sixth form colleges. They can focus on specific subjects, improve exam technique, and build the confidence your child needs to secure their place.
We're aiming for a top Russell Group university. Can we find a tutor with experience in that?
Yes, you can. You can view each tutor's profile to see their own academic background, including the university they attended and the subjects they excelled in. Many of our tutors are graduates from Russell Group universities and can provide fantastic mentorship for your child.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask any specific questions you might have.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, so your child and their tutor can work through problems together just as they would in person. All you need is a laptop or computer with a stable internet connection.
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.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a DBS background check, before they can join our platform. We accept just 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe hands.
How much does tutoring in Cottenham cost?
Our 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, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be hesitant to ask in a busy classroom. When a tutor tailors lessons to their pace and helps them achieve those 'lightbulb' moments, it can transform their self-belief and attitude towards learning.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths by messaging your tutor directly to see what works best for them and your child.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson per week is ideal for consistent progress, especially when preparing for exams like GCSEs. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your schedule.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child can learn anything from coding languages like Python to playing the guitar or speaking Spanish.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. Our tutors are generally very flexible. As long as you give your tutor at least 12 hours' notice, you can reschedule or cancel a lesson without charge. You can arrange this directly with your tutor through our messaging system.
