Flora I
Flora is a very patient, professional and well-prepared tutor. She always explains things clearly and teaches my son how to answer GCSE questions in a structured way. She provides homework, goes through mistakes carefully, and shows him how to improve his answers step by step. She also adjusts her teaching according to my son’s exam boards and level. My son is less anxious about English now and is slowly gaining confidence. We are very happy with her support and would definitely recommend her.
She is especially good at supporting students who are weaker in English and need clear guidance and structure.

Sam D
I would highly recommend Sam as a physics tutor. She has been teaching my daughter, and the experience has been excellent. Sam is extremely kind, patient, and supportive, which has helped my daughter feel more confident and comfortable with a subject she previously found challenging. Sam explains complex physics concepts clearly and in a way that is easy to understand. She is always well prepared, encouraging, and genuinely invested in her student’s progress. My daughter has not only improved academically but has also developed a more positive attitude toward physics thanks to Sam’s teaching approach. Sam is a dedicated and reliable tutor, and I would strongly recommend her to any parent looking for high-quality physics tuition.

Miles R
When I met Miles, I was averaging around a C in nearly all of my assessments. Within a few months of tutoring, I jumped and improved to consistently receiving A/A*s in my assessments. His lessons are well-structured and tailored to exactly what I need help with. Breaking down difficult concepts and going through exam questions helped me build confidence in my answers. I would recommend Miles to anyone studying economics.

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.
