The skills they build in these subjects are the ones they'll use throughout their lives. Mastering algebra, for instance, develops their problem-solving abilities, while learning to analyse quotes from 'Macbeth' strengthens their critical thinking. This foundation is essential for them to thrive in their A-Levels or BTECs and stand out when applying for competitive university courses.

Patient and adaptable Spanish tutor
Hi! My name is Sophia and I am a current bachelor’s degree Languages student (German and Spanish) with a particular passion for Spanish. I have studied Spanish consistently for eight years, having received both a 9 at GCSE (with the exam board EDEXCEL, though I will ensure to carefully adapt lessons to the applicable exam boards and specifications) and an A at A-Level in the language during this time. I love tutoring as it allows me to use my knowledge and skills to help young people achieve their personal goals and, potentially, unlock the same joy for languages which I myself hold. Students (...

Daniel P
Daniel kindly came in at the last minute to help my son understand what was needed for his EAPI (part of A level PE coursework). Daniel was really responsive, and gave great advice in a form my son understood how to implement. My son just did his EAPI today and the feedback from his teacher/examiner is that he did very well. I am confident that Daniel's intervention has resulted in my son getting a higher grade than he would have otherwise.

Richard S
Richard is an excellent tutor with great advice. Instead of telling me the answer he allows me to independently think and gives small clues on how to get to the answer. He also provided me with great key points and acronyms that help me remember essay structure as well as giving me external resources which contain useful information for my exam.

Jack R
We’ve had a fantastic experience with Jack as a maths tutor - so far my daughter had three sessions with him. Jack is an excellent communicator and explains concepts clearly and step-by-step, making even the all topics feel manageable. His lessons are well-structured and thoughtfully tailored to my daughter’s needs (we aim for confidence in class and confident GCSE mark).
Jack is also incredibly friendly and positive, which creates a really encouraging learning environment - one of my key requirements. My daughter genuinely enjoys her lessons with him and is already feeling much more confident in her maths curriculum. Highly recommended!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study A-Levels at Stoke-on-Trent College. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE grades?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the GCSE grades they need for their chosen post-16 courses. They can focus on the specific subjects and topics your child needs to master to meet the entry requirements for providers like Stoke-on-Trent College.
We're hoping for a place at Staffordshire or Keele University in the future. Can tutoring now help with that?
Yes, building a strong academic foundation now is one of the best ways to prepare for university. A tutor can help your child develop excellent study habits, deep subject knowledge, and the confidence to aim high, which are all crucial for a successful university application down the line.
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 you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with things like coding or learning a musical instrument?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! You can find expert tutors for skills like coding, learning Python, playing the guitar, public speaking, and much more. It's a great way for your child to explore new interests.
How do I choose the best tutor for my child in Longton?
You can easily browse tutors' profiles, watch their introduction videos, and read reviews from other parents. You can filter by subject and level to find the perfect match. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to see who feels like the best fit for your child's personality and learning needs.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. This transparency allows you to find an expert tutor who fits your budget.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple and easy to use. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space for sharing documents. It’s designed to make online learning feel just as personal and effective as being in the same room.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is identity and background-checked. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild your child's self-belief, which often has a positive impact on all their subjects.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most sessions 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 discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session per week is ideal for consistent progress. However, it’s completely flexible. You might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to exams or less frequent sessions for a general confidence boost. You can arrange a schedule that works for you and your child directly with your tutor.
How quickly can we start?
You can get started very quickly! Once you've found a tutor you like, you can send them a message to arrange your first lesson. Many tutors can start within a day or two, helping your child get the support they need right away.
