I have an impressive and proven track record in helping A level students, of all abilities, succeed in A-level physics.

Ban A
Excellent tutor
Hello my name is Ban!Im a second year medical student at Hull York Medical School and i would love to help you out on your studies so you can reach your academics goals. My teaching style is tailored towards the students needs, so is therefore adaptable. But, my usual teaching style involves teaching the content first, addressing any questions the student may have and finally to test the student by giving them practise with exam style questions. At the end of every lesson i will ask students if they have any final questions and what topic they would like to focus on for the future sessions. 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
We're worried about the competition for good secondary school places in Birmingham. How can a tutor help?
A tutor can be a fantastic partner in this. They can help strengthen your child's core Maths and English skills, build their confidence for entrance exams, and fill any knowledge gaps to ensure they're on a firm footing. It’s about giving them the support they need to show what they're truly capable of.
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Birmingham. Can a tutor help prepare them?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students with their A-Level studies and university applications. They can provide subject-specific support to help your child achieve the required grades, and some can even offer guidance on personal statements and interview techniques.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications right on their profile. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with. The best fit is often someone who matches your child's learning style and personality.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have a 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.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online tutoring in Northfield cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, starting from around £15-£25 per hour. Each tutor sets their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space works wonders for confidence. When a child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, and concepts are explained in a way they understand, they start to see they 'can' do it. These small wins build up, improving their self-esteem in and out of the classroom.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has video chat, a shared whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s a secure and interactive space for your child to learn from the comfort of home, using a laptop or computer.
Is it just for school subjects, or can my child learn something new like coding or music?
While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects, we also have experts in a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar to getting started with coding languages like Python, you can find a tutor to support your child's hobbies and passions too.
Can we get specific help for GCSE preparation?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors are brilliant at helping students prepare for their GCSEs. They can focus on exam technique, go over past papers, and help strengthen any areas of the curriculum where your child feels unsure, with the goal of improving their results by up to two grades.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide feedback after each session, and you can message them anytime to discuss your child's progress. You'll also see it in your child's growing confidence, their improved understanding of schoolwork, and ultimately, in their test and exam results.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can discuss your child's needs with your tutor, as some may offer shorter or longer sessions if it's more suitable.
