Jack R
Very patient and very clear when explaining stuff. Doesn’t go too fast and really knows what he’s talking about. I knew basically nothing about python before I got him, now I’m much more confident with everything and am able to do some good coding on my own. Would definitely recommend if you’re interested in anything python related!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends a competitive Harpenden school. Can a tutor help them stand out?
Yes, absolutely. In a high-achieving environment, a tutor provides the one-to-one attention needed to master subjects on a deeper level. They can focus on perfecting exam technique and exploring topics beyond the syllabus, giving your child the edge and the confidence to excel amongst their peers.
We're aiming for a top Russell Group university. Can we find tutors with that experience?
Definitely. Many of our tutors are graduates from Russell Group and Oxbridge universities. They can provide incredible insight, not just on the subject matter, but on what it takes to write a compelling personal statement and prepare for interviews, helping your child build the strongest possible application.
How do I pick the right tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check qualifications, and see reviews from other parents just like you. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask questions and make sure they're the right fit for your child's personality and learning style.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have a 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 much do tutors in Harpenden cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £25 to £50 depending on their experience and subject level. You can see the price clearly on every tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget with no hidden costs.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s a secure and engaging space where your child can learn from the comfort of home.
Is this just for GCSEs and A-Levels, or can my child learn other skills?
We cover a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond core academic subjects for all ages from primary to degree level, your child can learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or learning a new language for personal development.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and verify their ID and qualifications. All tutors must have a clean DBS background check. We're very selective, with only 1 in every 8 applicants being accepted onto our platform.
How can a tutor help improve my child's confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By going at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help transform your child's attitude towards a subject they once found difficult.
Can a tutor help with specific exam boards like AQA or Edexcel?
Yes. Many of our tutors are experts in the curriculum and question styles of specific exam boards. You can often see which boards they specialise in on their profile, ensuring your child gets the most relevant preparation for their exams.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor to suit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today. Simply search for your subject, message a few tutors you like the look of, and you could have your first lesson booked within a day. Many tutors reply within a few hours.
