Supportive tutor
I have just finished my undergraduate degree in psychology at the University of Liverpool, and prior to this I did psychology, Spanish and economics at A-level. I enjoy a student led focus so can work on topics that the student wants to work on and after each session for the next I can prepare essay questions to go through or content to help break down. We would work through essay questions but the student would take the focus and I am acting as support and there to mark afterwards and go through positives and some corrections to work on.I would give feedback at the end of each session as this...

Mu daughter has recently started A-level maths lessons with Charlie. He is an excellent teacher. The lessons are well structured, with a strong focus on exam-style questions, which is exactly what is needed at this level. He also provides clear, constructive feedback after each session, which has been very helpful. We would highly recommend him to other A-level students.

Nial D
Nial tutored my son in computer science in the run up to his GCSE exam, due to a pretty useless teacher at school. They worked together once a week for maybe 3 months. My son was predicted a 1,2 or 3 by his teacher and with Nial's help he got a 9! Highly recommended. Never a moan from my son about a tutor session with Nial. They got on well and it was worth every single penny!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Knaresborough and are aiming for Ripon Grammar School. Can a tutor help with the 11+?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have specific experience helping children with the entrance exams for grammar schools like Ripon. They can build a tailored plan focusing on the key areas, from verbal and non-verbal reasoning to maths and English, while also helping your child build confidence for the exam day.
My child is worried about moving up to a big Harrogate secondary school. Can tutoring help with the transition?
Definitely. Starting secondary school is a big step. A tutor can help your child feel more prepared by consolidating their Key Stage 2 knowledge and introducing them to Key Stage 3 topics. This boost in confidence can make all the difference in helping them settle in and feel ready for the new academic challenges.
How do I pick the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask any questions and make sure they’re the perfect fit for your child.
How much does online tutoring in Knaresborough cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, but typically range from £25 to £50 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter your search by price to find someone who fits your budget.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 you make sure your tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed by our team and must provide a valid DBS check or equivalent background check. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning with a trusted and high-quality professional.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, our tutors help them overcome challenges and see that they are capable of achieving their goals, which is a huge confidence booster.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. Your child and their tutor can work through problems together in real-time, just like they would in person, making for a collaborative and engaging experience.
Is it just for school subjects, or can my child learn a hobby like guitar or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, and it's not all about academics! You can find expert tutors to help your child learn a musical instrument like the guitar, master a new language, or get started with practical skills like coding.
How long are the sessions and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session per week works well, but you can arrange a schedule that best suits your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your tutor. There are no contracts or minimum commitments.
Do I need any special equipment for online tutoring?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no need to download any special software.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can find and book a tutor very quickly. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours, and you could have your child's first lesson arranged for as early as this week, depending on your and the tutor's availability.
