Helping Your Child Build an Application That Stands Out

Every subject your child studies offers a chance to develop skills that top universities value. It’s not just about the grade; it’s about how they can use their knowledge. We often hear from parents who worry about how certain subjects are perceived, but a great tutor can help your child turn any topic into a strength. They can show your child how to draw out critical thinking skills from a General Studies debate or demonstrate sharp analytical ability when discussing a character from 'Macbeth'. This deeper understanding is what helps them excel in exams and makes their university application shine.

One-to-One Support That Builds Real Confidence

The right tutor does more than just teach a subject; they act as a mentor who gets to know how your child learns. We take great care in selecting our tutors, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure you’re choosing from the best. They are all background-checked and ready to create a supportive learning environment where your child feels comfortable asking questions and tackling challenges, whether it's solving tough algebra problems or structuring a personal statement. Every lesson is built entirely around your child’s needs. If they need to focus on a specific topic for an upcoming test, the session will target that. If their goal is to build a deeper, more secure understanding of a subject over time, the tutor will create a plan to get them there. This tailored approach is why 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. Finding the right support shouldn’t add to your family's stress. With our online platform, you can find the perfect tutor for your child in Dalston and schedule lessons that fit around your busy lives. There's no travel, no fuss – just high-quality, effective learning from the comfort of your own home. It’s why over 200,000 students have trusted us to help them succeed.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can a tutor help my child with their application to a competitive London university like UCL or King's College?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with their UCAS applications, including personal statement writing, interview practice, and preparing for entrance exams for specific courses at top London universities.

My child is aiming for a top sixth form in Hackney. Can you help with entrance exams?

Yes. We have tutors who specialise in preparing students for 16+ entrance exams for selective sixth forms. You can filter your search to find tutors with specific experience in exam preparation to give your child the best possible support.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?

You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to ensure you find the perfect match.

How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked with an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every tutor and are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants to ensure the highest quality.

What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is why we have a 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 much does online tutoring cost in Dalston?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one attention in a safe space allows your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. When a tutor tailors lessons to their learning style, concepts start to click, and that success is a huge confidence booster.

How do online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.

Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can you help with skills like coding or public speaking?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach practical skills like coding, learning a musical instrument, or even public speaking.

Can tutoring help if my child feels overwhelmed by exam pressure?

Yes, a tutor can be a great help. They can break down revision into manageable chunks, teach effective study techniques, and provide a calm, supportive space to work through anxieties, helping your child feel prepared and in control.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

Most sessions are one hour long, as this is usually the most effective timeframe for focused learning. However, you can discuss your child's needs with your tutor and arrange for longer or shorter sessions if you prefer.

How soon can my child start their first lesson?

Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. You can see their availability on their profile calendar and book a time that works for your family straight away.
