I gain a lot of satisfaction from helping students achieve their goals whether it be studying for exams or to brush up on their conversation skills for a Holiday.I would tailor my approach and lesson plan to the needs of the student.

Gearoid C
Gearoid supported my son with GCSE English during a key transition period in Year 11. My son had moved schools and was adjusting to a different GCSE specification, which had left noticeable gaps in his knowledge. Gearoid helped him bridge those gaps methodically and clarified the expectations of the exam board.
From the very first session, there was a shift in confidence. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid.” Over time, that developed into him saying he “felt clever.” For a student who can struggle with processing speed and exam anxiety, this was a significant and meaningful change.
Gearoid is calm, professional and thoughtful in his approach. He communicates clearly, is reliable, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. I am grateful for the role he played in rebuilding both understanding and belief.

Mamun A
We are very happy with the support our child is receiving in preparation for the 11 Plus. From the beginning, Manum created a warm, encouraging environment where our child felt completely comfortable and at ease. Instead of feeling pressured, our child actually looks forward to the lessons and is happy to sit through each session fully engaged.
The tutor explains concepts clearly and patiently, adapting their approach to suit our child’s learning style. What has stood out just as much is the ease in communication between our child and Manum which leads to constructive dialogue about strengths and areas to focus on.
Overall, we’ve been extremely impressed with the professionalism, dedication, and genuine care shown. Both our child and we as parents would wholeheartedly recommend this tutor to anyone preparing for the 11 Plus.

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.
