Jack R
Very patient and very clear when explaining stuff. Doesn’t go too fast and really knows what he’s talking about. I knew basically nothing about python before I got him, now I’m much more confident with everything and am able to do some good coding on my own. Would definitely recommend if you’re interested in anything python related!

My daughter had only a brief time with Christopher but he was very reliable. He was very thorough in the topics we requested and obviously knew economics in detail. He expanded on subjects when required but kept it simple to understand- thank you so much for your time
Would recommend Christopher!

Katie is reliable, friendly, responsive to messages and makes her lessons great fun as well as informative, getting my daughter A-level exam ready.

Chinazaekpele J
She is absolutely amazing!! I am a mature student studying A levels; moving from a design background into science is a huge leap, Chinaze has been nothing but supportive and helpful. Her knowledge is impressive and she’s extremely flexible with lessons. Every time I’ve had a session with her, I’ve left feeling very confident. I’m that annoying student who is always asking why and she always has an answer, even if it’s not relevant to the subject. Really grateful to have found her :)

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at a Russell Group university like Leeds or York. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure top A-Level grades needed for competitive university courses. They can provide focused subject support, help with exam technique, and build the academic confidence required to succeed in applications to leading universities.
With the competition for places at Ilkley Grammar's sixth form, can a tutor help my child secure top GCSE grades?
Definitely. Our tutors specialise in helping students perform at their best in exams. They can create a tailored plan to target weaker areas, master tricky topics, and perfect exam technique. We know how much these grades matter, and our data shows we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Ilkley?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience. We recommend messaging a few to find the best fit. You can ask them about their approach to teaching to make sure their style suits your child’s needs.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked before they can join us. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices are set by the individual tutors and vary based on their experience and the subject level. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone brilliant who fits your budget. There are no hidden costs.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence?
Confidence is key to learning. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By patiently working through problems together, tutors help your child experience those 'lightbulb' moments that rebuild their self-belief.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and working through problems, and a space to upload documents. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long, and most families find that one session per week works well. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange lesson frequency and duration directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Is it just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we have thousands of tutors for core academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning Python and Spanish to playing the guitar and singing.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about their goals, what they enjoy, and what they find difficult. It’s a chance to build a rapport and create a plan for future lessons, ensuring the support is tailored right from the start.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for your subject, find a tutor you like, and send them a message to arrange your first lesson. Many tutors can start within a day or two, helping your child get the support they need without delay.
