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 hopes to study at the University of Derby. Can a tutor help with their A-Level grades for this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the A-Level or BTEC grades needed for specific university courses, including those at the University of Derby. They can focus on exam technique and subject knowledge to strengthen your child's application.
We're worried about the step up to a competitive Sixth Form in Derbyshire. Can a tutor help with GCSEs?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents come to us. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child feel confident and prepared for their GCSEs. They can work on specific subjects, fill knowledge gaps, and build exam skills to help them achieve the grades needed for their chosen post-16 path.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial. That's 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.
Is it just for core school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have experts in all school subjects, we also offer tutoring in a wide range of other skills! From learning to play the guitar and coding in Python to preparing for music theory exams, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter by subject, level, and price. You can also message tutors before booking to ask questions and make sure they're the right fit for your child's personality and learning needs.
How much does online tutoring in Derbyshire cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All they need is a computer or tablet with a microphone and internet connection.
Can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. This patient support is often the key to rebuilding their self-belief.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors must have a valid DBS check or equivalent and provide professional references. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and your child. Most families find a weekly one-hour session works well for consistent progress, but you can schedule lessons as often as you need, whether it's for a one-off boost before an exam or regular weekly support.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can speak directly with your child's tutor through our messaging system to discuss their progress. Many tutors also provide feedback after each session to keep you updated on what they've covered and how your child is doing.
Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?
No, there are no long-term commitments. You can book lessons one at a time or schedule a regular slot with your chosen tutor. It's completely flexible to fit your family's needs.
