Building a Strong Foundation for Their Future
Strong grades in core subjects don't just lead to a pass; they open doors to college courses, university places, and future careers, both in the North East and further afield. When your child masters a tricky algebra equation in Maths or learns how to analyse quotes in ‘Macbeth’ for their English GCSE, they’re not just learning for an exam. They’re developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are valued everywhere, giving them the best foundation for the future they deserve.

Ffion W
Absolutely fabulous.. my daughter was in tears this week as her teachers at college refused to help , and isolated her from the class. Tonight after just one hour with Ffion, she has turned a corner for my daughter, going from feeling like a failure to feeling positive again and given her hope that she can do this. Cant thank her enough .. will definitely be booking her again.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to apply to Durham University. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with university applications. They can provide expert subject support to help your child achieve the required A-Level grades, and some also offer guidance on personal statements and interview preparation to help their application stand out.
Are your tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in County Durham schools?
Yes. Our tutors are experts in the UK national curriculum, including the main exam boards like AQA, Edexcel, and OCR used by schools across the country. They can tailor their lessons to the specific syllabus and exam requirements your child is working towards in their local school.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications on their profile. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with. It’s all about finding the right personality match to help your child feel comfortable and supported.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked before they can join Tutorful. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best in a safe, secure online environment.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find an option that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
Can tutoring help my child if they've lost their confidence?
Definitely. One-to-one tutoring is one of the best ways to rebuild confidence. A great tutor provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement, helping them to understand tricky topics at their own pace and see that they really are capable of succeeding.
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 video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing work, and a document editor. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Is it just for core school subjects?
Not at all! While we have thousands of expert tutors for Maths, English, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for everything from modern languages and history to learning a musical instrument like the guitar or practical skills like coding.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most tutoring sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child feeling overwhelmed. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?
No, there are no long-term commitments. You can book lessons week-by-week or arrange a regular slot with your tutor – it's completely flexible and designed to fit around your family's needs. You only pay for the lessons you book.
How quickly can we start?
You can start very quickly! Many tutors are able to offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time that suits you, and you can get started right away.
