One-to-one Support, Tailored for Your Child in Kendal
The right tutor does more than just teach a subject; they build a partnership with your child. By getting to know their learning style, strengths, and the areas where they feel stuck, they create a supportive space for them to ask questions and grow in confidence. We help you find that perfect match from our community of trusted, background-checked tutors – we only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best. Every single lesson is planned around your child’s specific needs. If they're struggling with 11+ verbal reasoning, the entire session can be dedicated to it.

Finding time for extra support shouldn't be another stress on your plate. With online tutoring, there are no extra journeys after school. You can find an expert tutor who fits around your family's schedule, whether it's an evening, weekend, or during the school holidays.

Sunil P
My daughter has been working with Sunil for more than 3 months from the start of year 9 towards GCSE. We went with Sunil because his sole focus is on Physics, unlike lots of of other tutors who presents them self as "jack of all trades", as I believe in specialisation. My daughter finds Sunil lessons very helpful. Sunil experience as an examiner is rare and his focus on exact exam answers is very valuable. We asked for homework which Sunil has been happy to provide and check. He is kind and very enthusiastic about physics. I would strongly recommend Sunil as a Physics tutor

Salma A
I have been using Salma as an Arabic tutor for my daughter. The lessons have always run very smoothly. She is very punctual and organised. My daughter found her to be very gentle, engaging and funny which has helped her alot to enjoy the language and to want to learn and do her work.
As a parent, I found that I could communicate openly and honestly with Salma and she has always been very reassuring in her responses, explaining things very clearly.
Thank you Salma for a wonderful experience.

Sam F
Sam has been truly inspirational for our son, Chester. He really wants to study triple Science for GCSES and struggles with remembering so much information and confidence. Our son is dyslexic and has dyspraxia and constantly struggles with reading accurately and using scientific vocabulary. Sam has so much experience in these areas and has spent time building Chester’s confidence so he can access Physics, Biology and Chemistry successfully. It is giving Chester time to revisit lessons that he feels he needs more time on, as well as practise more challenging skills. Sam has shown extensive knowledge not only in his subjects but also with learning challenges and special educational needs. We cannot thank Sam enough and plan to continue with Chester’s twice weekly lessons. His success has continued with amazing lesson reviews and also the results of Chester’s recent year 10 mock exams. Thank you Sam.

Lucie M
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.
My son made solid progress and grew much more confident. I’d happily recommend Lucie to anyone looking for a kind, reliable and effective tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Kendal and are worried about the 11+ for the Lancaster grammar schools. Can we find a specialist tutor?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in entrance exams, including the 11+. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in 11+ preparation, who can help your child build confidence and master the verbal and non-verbal reasoning skills required.
My child is at Queen Katherine School and wants a top A-Level course. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE grades they need?
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents in Kendal come to us. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child secure the best possible GCSE grades. In fact, we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades, giving them a much stronger chance of getting into their chosen sixth form or college course.
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 for any reason it's not the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
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 messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
How much does online tutoring in Kendal cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, starting from around £15 per hour. All tutors set their own prices, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert who fits your budget with no hidden costs.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has been interviewed and has had their ID and qualifications checked by our team. They are also required to have an up-to-date DBS or background check. We're very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform.
Can tutoring help with my child's confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. A one-to-one setting allows your child to ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. As they start to understand difficult topics, their self-esteem and enthusiasm for the subject often grow significantly.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, allowing your child and their tutor to focus on learning.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we cover all school subjects from the 11+ to A-Levels and beyond, we also have tutors for a huge range of hobbies and skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, we can help.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is a great starting point. This provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, you can arrange sessions as often as you and your tutor feel is necessary, especially in the run-up to an important exam.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, for many students it's even more effective. Online learning provides access to a much wider choice of specialist tutors from across the UK, not just those who live locally. Plus, with interactive tools and the comfort of learning from home, children are often more focused and engaged.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for your subject, message a few tutors you like the look of, and you could be booking your child's first lesson for as early as today. Many of our 200,000+ happy students have found their perfect tutor within a few hours.
