Q: How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Cumbria?

You can browse our tutors' detailed profiles, which include their experience, qualifications, teaching style, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat, allowing you and your child to meet them and ensure it's a good fit before booking a lesson.

Q: Are your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has an up-to-date DBS or background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

Q: What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We want to make sure your child feels comfortable and happy with their tutor. Thanks to 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.

Q: How can a tutor help my child with their GCSEs?

Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child master difficult topics, improve exam technique, and build confidence ahead of their exams. Personalised, one-to-one tutoring can make a huge difference, with many students improving their final GCSE results by up to 2 grades.

Q: How much does online tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour depending on their experience and the subject level. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.

Q: How does the online classroom work?

Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a document-sharing function. Your child and their tutor can work through problems together in real-time, just as they would in person. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.

Q: How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence?

A great tutor does more than just teach a subject; they act as a mentor. By providing patient, one-to-one support in a positive environment, they can help your child understand tricky topics, celebrate small wins, and gradually rebuild their self-belief in their own abilities.

Q: Do you only offer academic subjects like Maths and English?

While we have thousands of tutors for core academic subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for modern languages, musical instruments like guitar and piano, and even skills like coding and public speaking.

Lesley H

Lesley has been an excellent tutor for our son, who is in Year 5 and preparing for the 11+ exams. She is highly professional, well structured, and very supportive in her approach. Since he started lessons with her, we have seen a clear improvement in both his performance and confidence. He has recently achieved very strong results in his school assessments and, more importantly, now approaches his work with much greater self-belief and motivation. Lesley is very organised in her teaching, provides targeted homework, and offers clear guidance on how to improve further, including exam technique and time management. Her feedback after each session is always detailed and helpful. We are very grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a committed and effective tutor.
