Peter T
Peter helped me understand the foundations of Complex Numbers in a single lesson. He clearly explained different forms, roots, De Moivre’s Theorem, and the Argand diagram. These topics had not made sense to me over the last four months at school. I already feel confident and encouraged. His teaching approach is clear and effective. I recommend him.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for the sixth form at The Thomas Hardye School. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE grades?
Absolutely. Many parents in Dorchester use our tutors for this exact reason. A tutor can create a tailored revision plan focusing on the specific subjects and grades your child needs, helping them with exam technique and subject knowledge to secure their place.
Can a tutor help my child with their A-Levels to get into universities like Exeter or Bath?
Yes. Our tutors, many of whom are graduates from top UK universities, are experienced in helping students achieve the A-Level grades needed for competitive courses. They can provide in-depth subject support and guidance on what admissions tutors are looking for.
How do I choose the best online tutor for my child?
It’s easy to find the right fit. You can filter tutors by subject and level, watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message before booking. This helps you find someone your child will really connect with.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
How much do online tutors in Dorchester cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15 an hour. The price varies based on the tutor's experience and the subject level. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so there are no hidden costs.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. As they start to grasp tricky topics, their self-belief grows, which has a positive impact on all their studies.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It has all the tools needed for an engaging and effective lesson, right from your home.
How quickly can we see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. The key is consistency and the personalised attention a tutor provides.
Can we get help with entrance exams for local independent schools?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in entrance exam preparation, including the 11+. You can find tutors with specific experience in helping children prepare for the requirements of independent schools.
What subjects do you offer tutoring for?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. This includes core academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science from primary level up to university, as well as test preparation for exams like the 11+, GCSEs, and A-Levels.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
It’s for both! While we have thousands of academic tutors, we also have experts who can teach practical and creative skills. You can find tutors for everything from coding languages like Python to learning a musical instrument or a new spoken language.
