Adeela N
I started lessons with Adeela in September because I’m resitting my a level economics and she has been incredibly helpful, she focuses on chains of analysis and evaluations which are essentially needed to go from lower to higher marks, which I struggled with during sixth form. She knows plenty of real world applications that she brings in when we discuss a topic and doing exam questions, I appreciate the fact that she focuses on exam questions a lot and she takes time to mark my answers and offers loads feedback:)

Yes, absolutely. Our tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades they need for their chosen post-16 path. They can focus on specific GCSE subjects, work on exam technique, and build your child's confidence to help them meet the entry requirements for colleges like Merthyr Tydfil.
My child is hoping to go to a top Welsh university like Cardiff or Swansea. Can tutoring help?
Definitely. A strong academic record is key for applications to competitive universities. Our tutors can help your child achieve the A-Level grades they need by providing expert subject knowledge and personalised support, strengthening their university application.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Gelligaer?
It's simple to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. You can also message tutors for free before booking to make sure they're the right fit for your child's personality and learning needs.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is ID and background-checked before they can join Tutorful. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. 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?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video call, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents, making it an engaging and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and subject. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor improve my child's confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. This personalised attention helps them master topics they once found tricky, and that success is a huge confidence booster.
How often should my child have lessons?
It's completely flexible and depends on your child's needs. Many families start with one session a week, but you can schedule more frequent lessons during exam periods or less often for general subject support. You can discuss the best plan with your chosen tutor.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for core school subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have experts who can teach practical skills like coding or musical instruments like the guitar. It’s a great way for your child to explore a new hobby.
Can tutoring really help with GCSEs?
