Samuel J
Expert Teacher
I believe tutoring should be more than just “extra lessons.” Too often, students sit through sessions that feel no different from school — repetitive, exam-heavy, and disconnected from real understanding. My approach is different. I make learning relaxed, relevant, and engaging, so that instead of dreading another lesson, you actually enjoy it — and make real progress without even realising how much you’ve learned.With over five years of teaching experience, a Bachelor of Education with Honours in Technology and Design, and work as a CCEA examiner, I know exactly what exam boards expect and how t...

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:)

Mu daughter has recently started A-level maths lessons with Charlie. He is an excellent teacher. The lessons are well structured, with a strong focus on exam-style questions, which is exactly what is needed at this level. He also provides clear, constructive feedback after each session, which has been very helpful. We would highly recommend him to other A-level students.

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Transfer Test. Can I find a tutor with specific experience?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in entrance exams like the Transfer Test. You can check their profiles for experience in helping students prepare for entry into grammar schools like Down High School and St Patrick's, and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs.
We're thinking ahead to university. Can a tutor help with entry to Queen's University Belfast?
Yes. We have tutors who are experts in A-Level subjects and can help with university preparation, including personal statements and building the strong academic record needed for competitive courses at universities like Queen's.
How do I choose the best tutor for my child?
You can start by using our search filters to find tutors for the right subject and level. Reading their profiles and parent reviews gives you a great sense of their teaching style. We recommend messaging a few to find the perfect personality match for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is so important. 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 tutor is identity and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How much does an online tutor in Downpatrick cost?

How often should my child have lessons?
Most families start with one hour-long session per week. However, it really depends on your child's goals. It’s a good idea to discuss this with your chosen tutor, who can recommend a plan that works best for your child.
Is it just for core subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all. While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects, we also offer support in everything from modern languages and science to practical skills like learning to play the guitar or coding.

Yes. The best way is to have a quick chat with your tutor, who will be happy to give you regular feedback on how your child is getting on. Open communication is a really important part of the process.
