We're here to help your child build that foundation.

The Right Support to Boost Your Child's Grades and Confidence
Finding the right person to support your child is everything. That’s why we’re so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. All our tutors are background-checked, so you can feel completely secure. They are experts not just in their subject, but in getting to know your child, understanding how they learn, and adapting their teaching style to suit them. This personal connection makes learning feel less like a chore and more like a conversation. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific needs. If they’re struggling to get their head around quadratic equations in Maths, their tutor can take the time to go over it until it clicks. If they need help structuring an essay on 'Macbeth', their tutor can guide them step-by-step. This focused attention is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and we can help boost your child’s GCSE results by up to two grades. With our top-rated tutors in Higham Ferrers available online, you can find the perfect match and schedule lessons at times that fit around your family's life.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study A-Levels at Tresham College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE grades?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the specific GCSE grades needed for competitive post-16 courses. They can focus lessons on the exact topics and exam techniques required to help your child achieve those crucial Grade 6s and 7s.
We're aiming for The Ferrers School sixth form and the standards are high. Can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
Yes, building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. When the academic environment feels competitive, one-to-one support can help your child master tricky subjects at their own pace, ask questions without feeling embarrassed, and realise just how much they are capable of.
How do I find the right tutor in Higham Ferrers for my child?
It's simple. You can use our search filters to find tutors based on subject, level, and price. You can read their profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Plus, you can message them for free to make sure they're a great fit before booking a lesson.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices typically start from around £20 per hour, and you can easily filter by price to see the most relevant tutors for you. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are your tutors properly checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check or equivalent background check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting just 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our 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 does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Can tutoring really help my child improve their GCSE grades?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. The personalised attention of a one-to-one tutor helps target your child's specific areas of weakness and build on their strengths. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is ideal for steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want to arrange more sessions in the run-up to exams, or fewer during school holidays. It's all managed between you and your tutor.
My child has lost their confidence in a subject. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. A great tutor does more than just teach a subject; they act as a mentor. By creating a supportive, encouraging space, they help your child overcome learning blocks, celebrate small wins, and rediscover their self-belief.
What if our family schedule is really busy?
That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You're not restricted to tutors who live nearby, so you have a much wider choice of available times. You can find a great tutor who can hold lessons in the evening or at weekends, fitting perfectly around your family's commitments.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get started with coding in Python, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor to help.
