Michael R
Experienced online and distance learning tutor
I am an experienced tutor and have been working in Somerset for the last fifteen years. In the past I have tutored students who cannot access full-time education for different reasons (health, mobility, faith and behavioural, for example) and always try to tailor my tuition to the individual's needs.I have worked as an examiner for both A level (chemistry), GCSE (sciences) and SATS (maths) so this means I am able not only to tutor the subject but also improve examination technique.

Ayma A
I had lessons with Ayma to help me prepare for an upcoming medicine interview. Despite the short notice I gave, she was able to fit in several sessions with me and was well prepared for each one, having a clear idea of what to cover. She went through every aspect of medicine interviews such as ethics, data, roleplay and personal skills, and boosted my confidence greatly. She was very kind and patient throughout, even when I struggled a lot with some answers, and she took time to explain everything clearly for me, including some technical and tricky concepts. I really appreciate her help and couldn’t have done my interview without her :-)

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to get into Truro and Penwith College. Can a tutor help them achieve the necessary GCSE grades?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the specific GCSE results needed for competitive sixth forms and colleges. They can focus on the exact syllabus requirements and exam techniques that will give your child the best chance of getting a place on their desired A-Level courses.
With Falmouth University and the Exeter campus nearby, can a tutor help with university applications or A-Level support?
Yes, definitely. We have many tutors who are experts at A-Level and even degree-level subjects. They can provide targeted support to help your child excel in their A-Levels and can also offer guidance on personal statements and university application strategies, helping them put their best foot forward.
Is this just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get ahead with coding in Python, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
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 discuss your child's specific needs and goals.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
My child has lost their confidence in a subject. Can a tutor help with that?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. A one-to-one setting provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. Celebrating small wins and breaking down difficult topics helps them see they are capable, which can transform their attitude to learning.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, creating an engaging and effective learning environment for your child.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity and background check, before they can start teaching.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor.
Can I find tutors for 11+ or entrance exams?
Yes, we have many experienced tutors who specialise in preparing children for the 11+ and other common entrance exams. They can help your child become familiar with the format and build the skills needed to perform their best.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can message them to arrange your first lesson. Many tutors have availability within a few days, so your child can get the support they need without delay.
