Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Ifrah I
I have never used a private tutor before but my 15 year old daughter has started taking additional weekly Nat 5 Chemistry lessons with Ifrah and she has been incredibly patient with her.
She checks in with her in relation to what she feels she needs to work on and takes time to understand her learning style, making her feel comfortable and relaxed.
The lessons are going really well and my daughter’s confidence is growing through this additional learning. Thanks Ifrah!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get a place at Durham Sixth Form Centre?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have extensive experience helping students with college applications. They can help your child strengthen their subject knowledge and build the confidence needed to secure a place, giving them the best possible chance of success.
We're aiming for a top university like Durham or Newcastle. Can you help?
Yes. We have many tutors who are graduates from top universities, including Durham and Newcastle. They understand what admissions tutors are looking for and can provide expert guidance on everything from A-Level subject mastery to UCAS applications and interview practice.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
Your peace of mind is our priority. We want to find the perfect match for your child. 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 much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and subject level, but typically range from £25 to £45 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so there are no hidden costs. You're in complete control of your budget.
Are the tutors background checked?
Yes, every single one. The safety of your child is incredibly important to us. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and an enhanced DBS background check, before they can teach on our platform.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence for their GCSEs?
Confidence often comes from understanding. When a tutor takes the time to explain things in a way that clicks for your child, it removes the fear of 'getting it wrong'. This one-to-one encouragement in a safe space helps them feel more capable and ready to tackle their exams.
Is this just for school subjects, or can you help with other things?
While we're experts in helping with school subjects from the 11+ right up to degree level, we also offer tutoring for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, we have a tutor who can help.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple and easy to use. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard for drawing diagrams and working through problems, and a tool for sharing documents. It’s a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Can we get help with A-Levels as well as GCSEs?
Of course. We have expert tutors across a huge range of A-Level subjects. Whether your child needs help with complex concepts in A-Level Chemistry or structuring essays for A-Level English Literature, we have specialist tutors ready to help them achieve the grades they need for university.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to help you track your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going. The best sign, though, is often seeing your child's confidence grow and their school results improve.
