Adeela N
I started lessons with Adeela in September because I’m resitting my a level economics and she has been incredibly helpful, she focuses on chains of analysis and evaluations which are essentially needed to go from lower to higher marks, which I struggled with during sixth form. She knows plenty of real world applications that she brings in when we discuss a topic and doing exam questions, I appreciate the fact that she focuses on exam questions a lot and she takes time to mark my answers and offers loads feedback:)

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Kent Test to get into Dover Grammar School. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have specific experience with the Kent Test. You can check their profiles for details and message them to discuss your child's specific needs for getting into schools like Dover Grammar School for Boys or Dover Grammar School for Girls.
We're thinking about the University of Kent. Can a tutor help with A-Levels to meet their entry requirements?
Yes. Our A-Level tutors are experts in their subjects and can help your child deepen their understanding, improve their exam technique, and build the confidence they need to secure the grades required for competitive university courses, including those at the University of Kent.
How do I choose the right online tutor for my child?
You can start by filtering tutors by subject and level. Read their profiles to learn about their experience and teaching style, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality. We recommend messaging a few tutors to find the best fit for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for 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.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online tutoring cost in Dover?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, the subject, and the level of study. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which is designed for one-to-one learning. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help if my child is feeling anxious about school?
Definitely. A one-to-one tutor can provide a safe, supportive space for your child to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in class. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild confidence and make learning feel positive again.
How quickly will I see a change in my child's results?
