Jack R
Very patient and very clear when explaining stuff. Doesn’t go too fast and really knows what he’s talking about. I knew basically nothing about python before I got him, now I’m much more confident with everything and am able to do some good coding on my own. Would definitely recommend if you’re interested in anything python related!

She is absolutely amazing!! I am a mature student studying A levels; moving from a design background into science is a huge leap, Chinaze has been nothing but supportive and helpful. Her knowledge is impressive and she’s extremely flexible with lessons. Every time I’ve had a session with her, I’ve left feeling very confident. I’m that annoying student who is always asking why and she always has an answer, even if it’s not relevant to the subject. Really grateful to have found her :)

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE grades needed for East Durham College?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades they need for post-16 education. They can focus on the specific subjects and topics your child needs to master to meet the entry requirements for their desired A-Level or vocational courses.
My child hopes to go to university in Sunderland or Newcastle. How can tutoring support this goal?
Strong A-Level results are key for university applications. Tutoring can help your child build a deep understanding of their subjects, pushing for higher grades and developing the independent study skills that universities look for. This can give them a real advantage when applying to competitive courses.
How do I choose 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.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online tutoring in Murton 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 allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and high-quality?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
My child's confidence has taken a knock. How can a tutor help?
A one-to-one tutor can be fantastic for rebuilding confidence. In a supportive, patient environment, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and mastering tricky topics together helps them see what they're truly capable of.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, allowing your child and their tutor to work together just as they would in person. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects from 11+ to degree level, we also have experts in a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding in Python, or learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor for them here.
How effective is online tutoring?
It's very effective! 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Online tutoring provides the same dedicated, one-to-one support as in-person tutoring, but with added flexibility and access to the best tutors from across the UK, not just your local area.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson per week is ideal for consistent progress. However, you can arrange sessions as often as you like. You might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to exams, for example. It's completely flexible to suit your child's needs.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for your subject, find a tutor you like the look of, and send them a message to arrange your first lesson. Many of our 200,000+ happy students have been able to start their tutoring within just a few days.
