Peter J
My son has been having regular weekly A-level maths lessons with Peter for a couple of months now and he's absolutely brilliant. My son says he's the best tutor he's had - he's super positive and encouraging, explains things really clearly and just makes things make sense that my son had found tricky in his college maths classes. Peter is always really helpful if we need to change the day or time of a session and responds to messages promptly. My son is already feeling much more confident about his maths exams and looks forwards to his sessions with Peter. Would definitely recommend!

Richard H
My son has just started weekly A-level geography sessions with Richard. So far he's been absolutely brilliant! Richard was super helpful and flexible with days and times and the initial 15 minute chat was great as it allowed him and my son to discuss strengths and weaknesses and make a plan together. My son found the first lesson really valuable. Richard had prepared a session that was tailored perfectly and we received prompt feedback after the lesson. My son is looking forward to his regular lessons with Richard and I'm sure he will gain much more confidence and exam technique as a result of Richard's tutoring. Would definitely recommend!

Ayma A
I had lessons with Ayma to help me prepare for an upcoming medicine interview. Despite the short notice I gave, she was able to fit in several sessions with me and was well prepared for each one, having a clear idea of what to cover. She went through every aspect of medicine interviews such as ethics, data, roleplay and personal skills, and boosted my confidence greatly. She was very kind and patient throughout, even when I struggled a lot with some answers, and she took time to explain everything clearly for me, including some technical and tricky concepts. I really appreciate her help and couldn’t have done my interview without her :-)

Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the GCSE grades they need for their first-choice sixth form or college. They can create a tailored plan to target specific subjects and build your child's confidence ahead of their exams.
We're looking ahead to university. Can a tutor support my child with their A-Levels for a place at Bournemouth University or another competitive course?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in A-Level subjects and university preparation. They can provide in-depth subject knowledge to help your child achieve top grades and can also offer guidance on personal statements and application strategies.
How do I find the right tutor for my child in Merley?
You can easily find the perfect match by using our search filters. Simply enter your child's subject and level, and you can browse profiles, read reviews from other parents, and even message tutors for free before booking to ensure they're a great fit.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a live video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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 can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor makes a huge difference. By working at your child's pace in a safe environment, tutors help them understand difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and see that they are capable of succeeding. This steady progress is a fantastic confidence booster.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and must pass a rigorous vetting process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much do online tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an excellent tutor who fits your budget.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn coding, play the guitar, or master a new language, you can find experienced tutors to support their interests and hobbies.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most tutoring sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. We encourage open communication between parents and tutors. You can message your tutor at any time to ask for updates, and they will often provide feedback after each session on what was covered and how your child is getting on.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you can book your first session right away.
