Sunil P
My daughter has been working with Sunil for more than 3 months from the start of year 9 towards GCSE. We went with Sunil because his sole focus is on Physics, unlike lots of of other tutors who presents them self as "jack of all trades", as I believe in specialisation. My daughter finds Sunil lessons very helpful. Sunil experience as an examiner is rare and his focus on exact exam answers is very valuable. We asked for homework which Sunil has been happy to provide and check. He is kind and very enthusiastic about physics. I would strongly recommend Sunil as a Physics tutor

Salma A
I have been using Salma as an Arabic tutor for my daughter. The lessons have always run very smoothly. She is very punctual and organised. My daughter found her to be very gentle, engaging and funny which has helped her alot to enjoy the language and to want to learn and do her work.
As a parent, I found that I could communicate openly and honestly with Salma and she has always been very reassuring in her responses, explaining things very clearly.
Thank you Salma for a wonderful experience.

Sam F
Sam has been truly inspirational for our son, Chester. He really wants to study triple Science for GCSES and struggles with remembering so much information and confidence. Our son is dyslexic and has dyspraxia and constantly struggles with reading accurately and using scientific vocabulary. Sam has so much experience in these areas and has spent time building Chester’s confidence so he can access Physics, Biology and Chemistry successfully. It is giving Chester time to revisit lessons that he feels he needs more time on, as well as practise more challenging skills. Sam has shown extensive knowledge not only in his subjects but also with learning challenges and special educational needs. We cannot thank Sam enough and plan to continue with Chester’s twice weekly lessons. His success has continued with amazing lesson reviews and also the results of Chester’s recent year 10 mock exams. Thank you Sam.

Lucie M
Lucie has been working with my son for four months on his 11+ Verbal and Non-verbal Reasoning, and I'm really impressed. She’s very patient and genuinely involved in the lessons. Lucie managed to build a great connection with my son right from the start. Her subject knowledge is excellent, and she explains things clearly without ever making him feel rushed.
My son made solid progress and grew much more confident. I’d happily recommend Lucie to anyone looking for a kind, reliable and effective tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a grammar school in Salisbury, like Bishop Wordsworth's. Can a tutor help with the 11+?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have experience with the specific requirements for the Wiltshire grammar school exams. They can help your child build confidence in key areas like verbal and non-verbal reasoning, Maths, and English to give them the best possible chance of success.
What if my child doesn't get a grammar school place? Can a tutor still help them get top A-Level grades?
Yes, completely. A great tutor provides consistent, one-to-one support that helps a child thrive in any school environment. By reinforcing core knowledge and study skills, a tutor can ensure your child stays challenged and on track to achieve the top A-Level grades needed for competitive universities like Bristol or Exeter.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Gillingham Dorset?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection. It’s a convenient way to get expert help from anywhere.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £15 to £40 per hour depending on their experience and subject. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor creates a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps them see that they are capable, which builds lasting self-belief.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
Tutorful is for all kinds of learning! While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have experts who can teach practical skills like coding, learning a new language, or playing a musical instrument like the guitar.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most families find that one session a week is a great way to build momentum and see steady progress, but the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can message your child's tutor at any time to get feedback and updates. Many tutors provide regular summaries of what was covered in a lesson and how your child is getting on, ensuring you're always kept in the loop.
What subjects can we find tutors for?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. From core academic support for Maths, English and Science at all levels from Primary to degree, to exam preparation for the 11+, GCSEs and A-Levels, you're sure to find the expert support your child needs.
