Ellen B
Patient French tutor
I have just graduated with a degree in French and English from the University of Warwick and would like to encourage others to get involved in languages and the opportunities they provide. I would work with the student to decide which approach they would prefer - ranging from casual conversational practice, to studying set grammar and particular aspects of the language. Since I had a French tutor when I was younger, I understand the need for a confidence boost or a helping hand to provide extra practice outside of lessons, and I'm happy to help with either. My aim is to help learners feel more...

I have had Spanish tutoring classes with Johanna for over a year and they have been really well structured and challenging. Johanna makes the classes very interactive, focusing on all aspects of the language, enabling me to advance my vocabulary, sentence structure, conversational speaking and listening skills. I have advanced a lot in my Spanish since starting lessons with Johanna and would highly recommend!! Thank you very much for all the support

Ayma A
I had lessons with Ayma to help me prepare for an upcoming medicine interview. Despite the short notice I gave, she was able to fit in several sessions with me and was well prepared for each one, having a clear idea of what to cover. She went through every aspect of medicine interviews such as ethics, data, roleplay and personal skills, and boosted my confidence greatly. She was very kind and patient throughout, even when I struggled a lot with some answers, and she took time to explain everything clearly for me, including some technical and tricky concepts. I really appreciate her help and couldn’t have done my interview without her :-)

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child has their heart set on Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE grades?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for parents we work with in Darlington. Our tutors specialise in helping students secure the GCSE grades needed for competitive colleges. They can focus on specific subjects, improve exam technique, and build the confidence your child needs to perform their best.
Can a tutor help prepare my child for a competitive university application to somewhere like Durham or Newcastle?
Yes. While our tutors primarily focus on subject knowledge for A-Levels, many have experience guiding students towards Russell Group universities. They can help your child master the content needed to achieve top A-Level grades, which is the most important part of a strong application.
How do I choose the best tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask any questions and make sure they're the right fit for your child's needs.
How much do online tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience and subject. You can easily filter by price on our website to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Are your tutors properly vetted?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and interviewed by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a microphone and an internet connection.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key to success. That's why we have 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.
My child's confidence is low. Can tutoring really help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. A great tutor celebrates small wins and builds them up, which can transform their whole attitude towards learning.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts for everything from 11+ to degree level, your child can also learn practical skills like coding, a new language, or even how to play the guitar. It’s a great way to support their hobbies and personal development.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set number. Some students need a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss your child's goals with their tutor, who can recommend a plan that works for you.
How quickly can we expect to see improvement?
Every child is different, but the personalised focus of one-to-one tutoring means progress can happen quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, we get it. Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You can communicate directly with your tutor to find a new time that works for both of you, as long as you give them enough notice as per their cancellation policy.
