Lucie managed to build a great connection with my son right from the start. Her subject knowledge is excellent, and she explains things clearly without ever making him feel rushed.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Montsaye Academy. Can a tutor help them achieve the grades needed for a sixth form like Bishop Stopford?
Absolutely. Many parents in Desborough use Tutorful for this exact reason. Our tutors can create a tailored plan to target the specific GCSE grades your child needs for entry into competitive sixth forms or colleges. They focus on strengthening weak areas and building exam technique to give your child the best possible chance of securing their place.
We're hoping for a place at a university like Leicester or Warwick. Can tutoring help with that long-term goal?
Yes, definitely. Strong A-Level performance starts with a solid GCSE foundation. Our tutors can help your child master their subjects now, which not only helps them secure a place on their chosen A-Level courses but also builds the study skills they'll need to excel when applying to top universities.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can filter tutors by subject, level, and price. Every tutor has a detailed profile with a video, student reviews, and their qualifications. We recommend watching a few videos with your child and messaging a couple of tutors to see who feels like the best fit before booking.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that the right connection is key to learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and we interview them to ensure they have the right experience and passion for teaching. We're very selective – we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply – so you can feel completely reassured.
My child's confidence has taken a knock. Can a tutor help with that?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Our tutors are brilliant at celebrating small wins and building a child's self-belief, which often has a positive impact on all their subjects.
How much does online tutoring cost in Desborough?
Our tutors set their own prices, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices typically start from around £15-£20 per hour and vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level. There are no hidden fees, so you can easily find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
Can a tutor really help improve my child's GCSE results?
Yes, absolutely. Our focused, one-to-one approach is proven to work. In fact, we can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to two grades. Tutors can focus on specific exam board requirements, perfect exam technique, and fill any knowledge gaps to help your child achieve their very best.
What happens in an online lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it feel just like being in the same room. Tutors can share resources, work through problems together, and tailor the session to your child's exact needs.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most families find a one-hour lesson once a week is a great way to build momentum and see steady progress. You can discuss what's best with your chosen tutor during your first chat.
Is it just for core school subjects like Maths and English?
While we have fantastic tutors for all school subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get ahead with coding in Python, or even prepare for a university entrance exam, we have expert tutors who can help.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, and for many children, it's even better! Our interactive online classroom has tools that make learning engaging and fun. Plus, you get access to the best tutors from across the UK, not just those who live locally. With over 200,000 happy students and a 4.6-star rating, we're confident it's a brilliant way to learn.
