Lucie has been working with my son for four months on his 11+ Verbal and Non-verbal Reasoning, and I'm really impressed. She’s very patient and genuinely involved in the lessons. 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 is preparing for the 11+ for the Plymouth and Torquay grammar schools. Can we find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have experience helping children build the skills and confidence needed for these specific entrance exams. You can filter for tutors with 11+ experience and read reviews from other parents to find the perfect match.
We're aiming for a place at the University of Exeter. Can a tutor help my child with their A-Levels?
Definitely. Our A-Level tutors are subject specialists who can provide targeted support to help your child achieve the top grades needed for competitive university courses. They can help with everything from understanding complex topics to perfecting exam technique.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
It's simple to find a great match. You can use our search filters to narrow down tutors by subject and level. We recommend watching their introductory videos, reading reviews from other parents, and sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking.
How much does tutoring in Ivybridge cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically start from around £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure your child feels comfortable and happy with their tutor. If the first lesson isn't a perfect fit, let us know. 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.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have been identity-checked and have had their DBS background checks verified. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a safe, supportive environment can do wonders for a child's confidence. Tutors can break down difficult topics into manageable steps, celebrate small wins, and help your child see that they are capable of making real progress, which often translates into more confidence in the classroom.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for working through problems together, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths directly with your chosen tutor to suit your child's needs.
Can tutoring fit around our family's busy schedule?
Yes, that's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can schedule sessions for evenings, weekends, or even during school holidays. There's no travel time involved, making it much easier to fit expert support into a packed family schedule.
Is tutoring just for core subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have experts in a huge range of other areas. Your child can learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking a new language.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can find and book a tutor very quickly. Many of our tutors respond to messages within a few hours, and it's often possible to have your first lesson scheduled within a day or two. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile.
