Lucie managed to build a great connection with my son right from the start. Her subject knowledge is excellent, and she explains things clearly without ever making him feel rushed.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends a local school. Can a tutor help them prepare for competitive sixth forms in Taunton or beyond?
Absolutely. Many parents in Ilminster use our tutors to give their child that extra edge. A tutor can work with your child to strengthen their understanding of key GCSE subjects, improve their exam technique, and build the confidence they need to secure a place at their chosen sixth form.
We're hoping our child gets into a university like Exeter or Bristol. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, our tutors can be a fantastic support for A-Level students aiming for top universities. They can provide in-depth subject knowledge, help with personal statement preparation, and develop the independent study skills that are crucial for success in higher education.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
It's simple. You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience. You can read their profiles, check reviews from other parents, and even message them for free before booking. It's all about finding the perfect personality match for your child.
How do you make sure your tutors are high quality and safe?
Your child's safety and success are our top priorities. We are very selective; only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform. Every tutor is background-checked and has been interviewed by our team to ensure they are an expert in their subject.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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 do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. There's an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space to share documents. It's designed to be engaging and easy to use, allowing for real-time collaboration with their tutor.
How much does tutoring cost in Ilminster?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and the subject level. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget with no hidden costs.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence?
This is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-belief step by step.
What kind of results can we really expect?
We're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. For GCSE students, that improvement can be up to two grades. The goal is to help your child achieve their best, whatever that looks like for them.
Is tutoring just for core subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
It's for both! While we have thousands of expert academic tutors for subjects like Maths, English, and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for skills like coding, learning a new language, or playing a musical instrument.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week works best for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more lessons in the run-up to an exam or fewer during school holidays. You can discuss the best plan directly with your tutor.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Once you find a tutor you like, you can message them to arrange a first lesson. Many tutors can start within a few days, so your child can get the support they need without delay.
