Over three years experience tutoring A Level Mathematics and Physics and three years experience tutoring GCSE Mathematics. I am fully DBS checked. Currently studying for a MSci in Mathematical Physics.I am a driven and enthusiastic individual who enjoys to teach. My method of teaching is somewhat novel as I believe that the key to a student understanding something is finding the correct way to teach them, simply put if something isn't working try another method. It is this which I enjoy most about tutoring, finding the way that's right for that student to havethat "aha!" moment and "get it". I...

Aimee O
Creative, friendly tutor
Hey! I’m Aimee, and I’ve just graduated from UEA studying molecular biology and genetics. I enjoy helping others and believe I have an excellent method of teaching and that I create a calm relaxed environment, as I think it’s so much harder to learn and understand a subject when you are stressed and worried :). Mostly I have tutored before in maths as this is a subject which I enjoyed and found easy to explain, however I also have a deep understanding of all sciences (biology, chemistry and physics) so I would be glad to help with those too!When it comes to my teaching I usually go over some quest...

Mustafa A
So far, I have had four lessons with Mustafa, and I have found him to be really supportive and thorough. In my first lesson, he took the time to identify my strengths and weaknesses in GCSE Chemistry so that he could prepare future lessons to the topics I was least confident in.
Throughout our lessons, we have worked through each topic carefully, making sure I fully understand the content before moving on. I also asked if we could go through my Chemistry mock exam questions in an upcoming lesson, and he was very happy to do so, which made me feel really supported. He always finishes lessons with exam questions, which has helped build my confidence and exam technique. Mustafa has also discussed revision techniques with me, which I’ve found very helpful when studying independently.
If there is any content I don’t understand, he quizzes me and explains it clearly until I feel confident. As someone who isn’t always confident in my answers, I now feel much more comfortable asking questions and learning from mistakes. I look forward to continuing my lessons with Mustafa. Thank you.

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, starting from around £20 per hour. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone brilliant who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

Definitely. A great tutor is also a great mentor. By creating a supportive, low-pressure environment, they can help rebuild your child's confidence and foster a more positive attitude towards learning, which often has a wonderful impact on their wellbeing and their results.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most families opt for one hour-long session per week to provide consistent support, but you can arrange more frequent lessons in the run-up to an exam or less frequent top-up sessions. It’s completely flexible.

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, to ensure peace of mind for parents.

We encourage open communication. You can message your child's tutor at any time to discuss their progress and goals. Many tutors provide regular feedback, and because the lessons are tailored to your child, you'll often see their growing confidence and understanding firsthand.
