Peter T
Peter helped me understand the foundations of Complex Numbers in a single lesson. He clearly explained different forms, roots, De Moivre’s Theorem, and the Argand diagram. These topics had not made sense to me over the last four months at school. I already feel confident and encouraged. His teaching approach is clear and effective. I recommend him.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child has their heart set on Runshaw College. Can a tutor help them get the specific GCSE grades they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students prepare for GCSEs with specific college entry requirements in mind. They can focus on the exact topics and exam techniques needed to help your child secure the grades required for competitive A-Level courses at places like Runshaw College or Bolton Sixth Form.
We live in Horwich, but does the tutor have to be local?
No, and that's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring! Your child can connect with the best subject specialist for their needs from anywhere in the UK. This gives you a much wider choice of expert, background-checked tutors than you would find locally, increasing the chances of finding the perfect match for your child's learning style.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Is this just for GCSEs, or can you help with other things?
While we help thousands of students with their GCSEs and A-Levels, our tutors cover a huge range of subjects and skills. Whether your child needs help with their 11+ exams, university-level study, or wants to learn a new skill like coding, a musical instrument, or a new language, we have an expert tutor who can help.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. It’s all about finding someone your child connects with.
How much do tutors in Horwich cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level, so you can find an expert to fit your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
My child's confidence is low. How can a tutor help with that?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where there are no silly questions. By patiently breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild your child's self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork in general.
How do the online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom. It features a two-way video call, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and working through problems together, and a chat function. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your own home.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We interview them and verify their qualifications to ensure they are experts in their field. We're very selective – we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's needs. Most families find that one hour-long session per week is a great place to start. You can easily agree on a schedule that works for you directly with your chosen tutor.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, and for many children, it's even more effective. Our online classroom has interactive tools that make learning engaging, and children often feel more comfortable and focused in their own familiar environment. With over 4,100 reviews from parents like you and an average rating of 4.6 stars, you can be confident you're in good hands.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today! Simply search for your subject, filter by availability, and message a few tutors to find the right fit. Many tutors can offer a first lesson within a few days, so your child can get the support they need without delay.
