Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child has their heart set on Durham University. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with A-Level subjects and the UCAS application process. They can provide targeted support to help your child achieve the grades they need and build the confidence to tackle their university ambitions.
We're worried about GCSEs being strong enough for a competitive local sixth form. How can tutoring help?
This is a common concern, and we're here to help. A tutor can work with your child to close any knowledge gaps, improve exam technique, and build their subject confidence. For GCSEs, we can help students improve their results by up to 2 grades, giving them a much stronger foundation for their sixth form applications.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to find the right fit, and many tutors offer a free 15-minute chat to discuss your child's needs before you book a lesson.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check or equivalent. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right connection is key to learning. 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 Durham cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level. There are no hidden fees, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, allowing your child and their tutor to work together just as they would in person. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer expert support for academic subjects from Primary through to degree level, we also have tutors for a wide range of other skills! Your child could learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking a new language.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and encouraging space for your child to ask questions without the pressure of a full classroom. As they start to master topics they once found tricky, you'll see their self-belief grow, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork in general.
How often should my child have lessons?
It's completely flexible and up to you. Most families choose to have one lesson a week to provide consistent support, but you can arrange more frequent sessions during exam periods or less frequent ones for a general top-up. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.
What results can we expect?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our focus is on making real progress. We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. With over 200,000 happy students and a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews, you can feel confident you're making the right choice.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today. Simply search for your subject, filter by level, and browse our selection of expert tutors. You can message them directly to ask any questions and book your first lesson for a time that suits your family.
