Can I find a tutor experienced with the Northern Ireland Transfer Test?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in preparing children for the Transfer Test. You can check their profiles for specific experience with the curriculum and exam format to find the perfect match for your child's needs.
We’re hoping for a place at Belfast Royal Academy. Can a tutor help with this goal?
Yes. While we can't guarantee entry, many tutors have experience helping students prepare for entry into specific grammar schools. They can help your child build the skills and confidence needed to perform their best in the entrance exams.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check tutors' qualifications on their profiles. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking a session.
How much does online tutoring cost in Newtownabbey?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees.
How do the online lessons actually work?

Definitely. A good tutor does more than just teach a subject; they are a mentor who can help build your child's confidence and self-belief. They can provide reassurance, teach exam techniques, and help reduce anxiety by making sure your child feels prepared.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academic support for things like the Transfer Test or GCSEs, your child can learn a new language, master a musical instrument like the guitar, or even get ahead with skills like coding.

Every child learns at their own pace, but our one-to-one approach is designed to get results. Because lessons are tailored to their specific needs, many parents see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
