The skills they develop, from analysing quotes in an English essay to mastering tricky algebra, build the critical thinking that will help them succeed long after they leave the classroom.

Finding the Right Support for Your Child in East Sussex

Finding the right person is key. We believe a great tutor does more than just teach; they inspire confidence. That’s why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring every one is an expert in their subject and has been background-checked. They’ll take the time to understand how your child learns, whether they need help structuring a history essay or getting to grips with chemistry formulas. Because every lesson is one-to-one, it’s tailored completely to your child. They can ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in a busy classroom and focus on the exact topics they find tricky.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child wants to apply to the University of Sussex or Brighton. Can a tutor help with their A-Levels?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the A-Level grades they need for specific universities. They can provide targeted support on tricky modules and offer guidance on exam technique to help your child feel fully prepared for their application.

We're worried our child's school isn't competitive enough. Can a tutor help them keep up?

Yes, this is a common concern and a tutor can make a huge difference. By providing dedicated one-to-one support, a tutor can fill any gaps in your child's knowledge, challenge them in areas where they excel, and build the confidence they need to compete for top grades, regardless of their school environment.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child in East Sussex?

You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask any questions and make sure they’re the perfect fit for your child's needs and personality.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know how important the right fit is. 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 does online tutoring cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.

How can online tutoring help my child feel more confident?

Our online classroom provides a safe, one-to-one space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As they start to master topics they once found difficult, you'll see their self-belief grow, and that newfound confidence often carries over into the school classroom.

Is it just for core subjects like Maths and English, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects, your child can also learn practical skills like coding, a new language, or even how to play the guitar. It's a great way to support their hobbies and passions too.

How can a tutor help with GCSE or A-Level exams specifically?

Our tutors can provide targeted revision support, focusing on the specific exam board your child is studying. They can help with everything from understanding the mark scheme to practising past papers and perfecting exam technique. We find this helps many GCSE students improve their final results by up to two grades.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and has tools like an interactive whiteboard to make learning engaging.

How long are the lessons and how often should they be?

Lessons are typically one hour long, and most families find a weekly session works best to build momentum. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss the ideal frequency with your tutor based on your child's specific goals and your family's schedule.

How do I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also see their confidence grow as they become more engaged with their subject. Many parents tell us they see a positive change not just in grades, but in their child's whole attitude towards learning.
