Sutandra C
Enthusiastic Teacher of Maths and Physics
As an experienced Secondary School Teacher of Maths and Physics, my goal is to make my students become independent learners.
Success in any subject, depends on confidence. I help to build that confidence by providing appropriate scaffold for learning. Assessment of prior knowledge informs me about how I will tailor my teaching for a particular student. Informal discussions with students/parents also help me identify barriers, if any, in learning.I do continuous assessment of learning to track progress.
I tutor both Maths and Physics at Key stage 3 and 4 (GCSE) level. My rate for GCSE is £30 ...

John O
Energetic Primary School Tutor focusing on Years 5 and 6.
I have always been passionate about teaching.This began with me helping and supporting my own children and then being asked by close friends to help their children. As a Primary School Teacher my goal is to inspire children to not just answer questions but to understand why the answer is the way it is. I aim to give the children the tools to become more resilient so that they don’t give up when things are difficult and there isn’t a teacher readily available.Whilst teaching, I look to get a smile on the faces of the children because I have found that if they are happy then they will have a pos...

Jack R
Very patient and very clear when explaining stuff. Doesn’t go too fast and really knows what he’s talking about. I knew basically nothing about python before I got him, now I’m much more confident with everything and am able to do some good coding on my own. Would definitely recommend if you’re interested in anything python related!

Christopher J
My daughter had only a brief time with Christopher but he was very reliable. He was very thorough in the topics we requested and obviously knew economics in detail. He expanded on subjects when required but kept it simple to understand- thank you so much for your time
Would recommend Christopher!

Katie W
My daughter has had Katie for nearly a term now and she is loving the sessions. She is inspired by Katies teaching of A-level maths and always looks forward to them. Katie is reliable, friendly, responsive to messages and makes her lessons great fun as well as informative, getting my daughter A-level exam ready. We are really glad we found her and would recommend. Her teaching has already had an impact on my daughter's test results and confidence.

Chinazaekpele J
She is absolutely amazing!! I am a mature student studying A levels; moving from a design background into science is a huge leap, Chinaze has been nothing but supportive and helpful. Her knowledge is impressive and she’s extremely flexible with lessons. Every time I’ve had a session with her, I’ve left feeling very confident. I’m that annoying student who is always asking why and she always has an answer, even if it’s not relevant to the subject. Really grateful to have found her :)

They can help you excel in your A-Levels, guide you through challenging university admissions tests, refine your personal statement, and even conduct mock interviews, giving you a significant edge in a competitive application process.
Is Tutorful just for school subjects, or can I learn other skills too?
We offer a wide range of subjects beyond the core curriculum! While you can find expert tutors for Maths, English, Science, and more, you can also explore learning new skills like coding, Python, a musical instrument, or even a new language. Just search for what you're interested in!
