Chris is a really patient and knowledgeable A-Level Chemistry tutor. Having been through quitea few chemistry tutors on tutorful before, I settled with Chris as Ifound his style of teaching really worked with me compared to other tutors. Chris' style for me is mainly to focus on understanding the key concepts to ensure I can apply these ideas to the exam effectively, and it is definetely working and I am gaining a lot of confidence very quickly. Would highly recommend.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Natalie G
Highly Recommended Maths Tutor!
Natalie is a fantastic tutor and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. She tailors every lesson to my daughter’s individual needs, and as a visual learner, my daughter finds her sessions engaging, fun, and easy to understand. Natalie prepares each lesson beautifully and always comes with creative ways to explain even the trickiest concepts.
We’ve used tutors for all three of our children over the years, and only Natalie and one other tutor have provided such thoughtful, detailed feedback after every session — something we find extremely valuable.
It’s genuinely hard to find a maths tutor who makes lessons enjoyable, but Natalie does exactly that.
For the first time ever, my daughter actually looks forward to her maths sessions! Her confidence has grown, and so have her skills.
I highly recommend Natalie to any child who struggles with maths or simply wants to strengthen their abilities. Thank you, Natalie, for your dedication and wonderful teaching approach!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study A-Levels at Truro and Penwith College. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE grades?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in preparing students for their GCSEs with specific college entry requirements in mind. They can focus on the key topics and exam techniques needed to help your child achieve the grades required for their chosen A-Level courses.
We're worried that living in a rural area like Helston limits our choice of top tutors. How does Tutorful help?
That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. Your location doesn't limit your options at all. You can connect with the very best subject specialists from across the UK, not just those who live locally. This gives your child access to a much wider pool of expertise.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is really important, and we understand that it might not always happen on the first try. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer tutoring for core school subjects?
Not at all! While we have experts in Maths, English and Science, we also offer tutoring in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get ahead with coding in Python, or even learn a new language, we have a specialist tutor who can help.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience on their profile. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their teaching style and ensure they're a good fit for your child's needs.
How much does a tutor in Helston cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and subject level, but start from £15 an hour. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe to work with children?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a background check (DBS or equivalent). We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe hands.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to focus on a topic without it becoming overwhelming. Most students have one lesson per week, but you can arrange a frequency that suits your child's needs and your family's schedule directly with your tutor.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and engaging. It includes a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might work through a tricky algebra problem with your child on the whiteboard, review an essay draft together, or use past papers to practice exam technique.
Can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence?
Yes, this is one of the most important benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-esteem and create a more positive attitude towards learning.
How quickly can we get started?
You can find and book a tutor very quickly. Many tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to check their availability, and you can book your first session directly through their profile.
Do we have to commit to a block of lessons?
No, there are no long-term commitments. You can book lessons one at a time or schedule a regular weekly slot with your tutor. The flexibility is entirely up to you and what works best for your child.
