Lucie has been working with my son for four months on his 11+ Verbal and Non-verbal Reasoning, and I'm really impressed. She’s very patient and genuinely involved in the lessons. 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
We're aiming for a place at Marling School or Stroud High School. Can a tutor help with the 11+ exam?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can help your child get familiar with the exam format, practise verbal and non-verbal reasoning, and build the confidence they need to perform their best on the day.
My child hopes to go to a university like Bristol or Bath. Can a tutor help with their A-Levels?
Definitely. Securing a place at a competitive university requires strong A-Level grades. Our tutors can provide targeted support in specific subjects, helping your child master difficult topics, refine their exam technique, and achieve the grades they're aiming for.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Dursley?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and use our filters to find someone with the right experience. You can also message tutors before booking to make sure they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning goals.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £20 to £50 per hour, depending on their experience and the subject level. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We 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 to our platform.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to 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.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can make a huge difference. By breaking down tricky subjects into manageable steps and celebrating small wins, tutors help your child see that they *can* succeed. This positive experience often boosts their confidence in the school classroom too.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session per week is a great way to build momentum and see steady progress, but the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects like Maths and English?
While we have fantastic tutors for all core academic subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for learning a musical instrument like the guitar, developing a new skill like coding, or even mastering a new language.
What happens in a typical tutoring session?
A great tutor will usually start by checking in on what your child has been doing at school and what they'd like to focus on. The rest of the session is tailored to them, whether it's working through homework, revising a tricky topic, or practicing exam questions together.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. The best way is to have an open chat with the tutor. They can provide regular feedback on how your child is doing, what they've been working on, and the progress they're making towards their goals. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
