Karen P
Easy-to-use platform with lesson recordings. My daughter studied GCSE maths with Karen P for approximately 18 months. If my daughter didn't understand, Karen explained it in a way that was understandable. I can't sing Karen's praises highly enough. My daughter gained confidence in maths, this was reflected in her test and mock exam results. Thank you Karen. If my daughter needs a tutor for A-levels, I will certainly look to Tutorful for support.

Sarah T
Sarah is an excellent tutor and I would highly recommend her. She is tutoring my daughter for Chemistry and Biology GCSE. Sarah is very approachable and has an excellent teaching manner. Her lessons are always very well planned and thorough, lesson notes are always sent over after the lesson for my child to revise with as well as a summary for myself to see topics covered.
Sarah is very supportive and made my daughter feel comfortable and at ease from day 1. My daughters knowledge in the subjects and her confidence is growing week by week. I would highly recommend Sarah as a tutor.
