Daniel P
Daniel kindly came in at the last minute to help my son understand what was needed for his EAPI (part of A level PE coursework). Daniel was really responsive, and gave great advice in a form my son understood how to implement. My son just did his EAPI today and the feedback from his teacher/examiner is that he did very well. I am confident that Daniel's intervention has resulted in my son getting a higher grade than he would have otherwise.

Richard S
Richard is an excellent tutor with great advice. Instead of telling me the answer he allows me to independently think and gives small clues on how to get to the answer. He also provided me with great key points and acronyms that help me remember essay structure as well as giving me external resources which contain useful information for my exam.

Jack R
We’ve had a fantastic experience with Jack as a maths tutor - so far my daughter had three sessions with him. Jack is an excellent communicator and explains concepts clearly and step-by-step, making even the all topics feel manageable. His lessons are well-structured and thoughtfully tailored to my daughter’s needs (we aim for confidence in class and confident GCSE mark).
Jack is also incredibly friendly and positive, which creates a really encouraging learning environment - one of my key requirements. My daughter genuinely enjoys her lessons with him and is already feeling much more confident in her maths curriculum. Highly recommended!

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.
