John M
John has been an excellent English IGCSE tutor. He is very organised, enthusiastic and communicates clearly. He quickly built a strong rapport with my daughter, putting her at ease, and she is really enjoying the lessons and getting a lot out of them. John is helping her to build confidence, structure exam answers and prepare effectively for revision, and I feel the tutoring will be very beneficial in the run-up to her exams.

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.
