Opening Doors to Top Sixth Forms and Universities

Strong grades in core subjects aren't just about passing exams; they are the stepping stones to the future you want for your child. A deep understanding of Maths helps with problem-solving in any field, while mastering English means they can analyse complex texts in 'An Inspector Calls' and articulate their ideas with clarity. These are the exact skills that top sixth forms like Hills Road look for, and they build the foundation for success at Russell Group universities and beyond.

The Right Support, Right When Your Child Needs It

We believe the best learning happens when there's a real connection. That's why our tutors take the time to understand your child's unique learning style, their strengths, and where they need a bit more help. We handpick the best tutors from across the UK—accepting only 1 in 8 who apply—so you can be sure your child is learning from a background-checked expert who can adapt their teaching just for them. Every one-to-one session is built entirely around your child. If they're finding algebra tricky or need to get to grips with analysing quotes for 'Macbeth', their tutor will focus the lesson on exactly that. This targeted approach is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and for GCSEs, we can help boost their results by up to two grades – a huge advantage when aiming for competitive courses. Finding the right support shouldn't add more stress to your family's busy schedule. With online tutoring, there's no need to travel. You can find the perfect tutor and arrange lessons at times that work for you, whether it's after school or on a weekend. All your child needs is a laptop and an internet connection to get started.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for Hills Road Sixth Form College. Can you find a tutor with experience in preparing students for competitive entry?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure places at top sixth forms. You can use our filters to find tutors with experience in entrance exam preparation or those who focus on achieving the high GCSE grades needed for competitive A-Level courses. You can even message them beforehand to discuss your child's specific goals.

We live near Cambridge and the academic pressure is huge. How can a tutor help my child cope with that?

We understand completely. A one-to-one tutor does more than just teach a subject; they act as a mentor. They can help your child break down challenging topics into manageable steps, build study skills, and grow their confidence. This creates a supportive, low-pressure environment where they can feel comfortable asking questions and mastering their subject without the stress of classroom competition.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

Finding the right fit is the most important thing, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

Is it only for core academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have many experts in Maths, English and Science, you can also find tutors for everything from modern languages and music theory to coding and university-level support. It's a great way for your child to explore new interests or get extra help in a specialist subject.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?

You can easily browse tutor profiles, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents just like you. Many tutors have an introductory video so you can get a feel for their personality. You can also message tutors before booking to ask any specific questions you have about their approach.

How much does online tutoring in Histon cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £45, depending on their experience and subject level. The price is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

How are your tutors vetted?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict selection process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor undergoes an identity check and is required to have an enhanced DBS check. We also interview them to ensure they have the right passion and expertise to help your child succeed.

What happens in a typical online lesson?

Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. A tutor might use the whiteboard to work through a tricky algebra problem with your child, or they might review and annotate an essay together in real-time. It's a collaborative and engaging experience.

How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence?

This is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a safe, supportive space away from the pressure of the classroom, your child can ask questions they might have been too shy to ask before. Tutors are brilliant at celebrating small wins and building a student's self-belief, which often has a positive impact on all their subjects.

How long will my child need a tutor for?

It really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students might just need a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others benefit from weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor, and there are no long-term commitments, so you can book lessons as and when you need them.

What equipment do we need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download. We recommend using a modern browser like Chrome or Firefox for the best experience.

Can I track my child's progress?

Yes. After each lesson, the tutor will provide feedback on what was covered and how your child is getting on. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss progress and goals. We believe in a partnership between the parent, student, and tutor to get the best results.
