Personalised Tutoring That Puts Your Child First

We believe the best learning happens when a tutor truly understands your child. That’s why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring they are not just subject experts, but also caring mentors who are fully background-checked. They'll take the time to get to know your child's learning style, find out what makes them tick, and build a supportive relationship that helps them feel comfortable asking questions. Every online lesson is built around your child's specific needs. If they’re struggling with a particular topic in GCSE Chemistry or need to strengthen their essay writing for English, their tutor will create a plan to tackle it head-on. This focused, one-to-one attention means they can learn at their own pace and fill any knowledge gaps. It's an approach that works – 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Juggling school, activities, and family life is busy enough. Online tutoring takes the stress out of finding support, with no extra travel time needed. You can find the perfect tutor from anywhere in the UK and schedule lessons at times that suit your family. It’s simple, secure, and gives your child access to top-quality teaching from the comfort of your home.

Charlie B
Mu daughter has recently started A-level maths lessons with Charlie. He is an excellent teacher. The lessons are well structured, with a strong focus on exam-style questions, which is exactly what is needed at this level. He also provides clear, constructive feedback after each session, which has been very helpful. We would highly recommend him to other A-level students.

Nial D
Nial tutored my son in computer science in the run up to his GCSE exam, due to a pretty useless teacher at school. They worked together once a week for maybe 3 months. My son was predicted a 1,2 or 3 by his teacher and with Nial's help he got a 9! Highly recommended. Never a moan from my son about a tutor session with Nial. They got on well and it was worth every single penny!

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're hoping for a place at a competitive school like Queen Elizabeth Grammar School. Can tutors help with this?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students prepare for entrance exams for specific grammar and independent schools. You can browse tutor profiles and filter for those with experience in 11+ or school entrance exam preparation to find the right match for your child's goals.

My child is thinking about the University of Cumbria. Can a tutor help with their application?

Yes. We have many tutors who specialise in university applications, including UCAS personal statement writing and interview practice. They can provide invaluable guidance to help your child craft an application that showcases their strengths and passion for their chosen subject.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

How long are the tutoring sessions?

The standard lesson length is one hour, which most parents and students find works best. However, you can discuss your needs directly with your chosen tutor, as many are flexible and can offer longer or shorter sessions if required.

How do I pay for lessons?

Paying for lessons is simple and secure. You add your payment details to your account, and we process the payment automatically 24 hours after each lesson is completed. You'll never need to handle cash or make direct bank transfers.
