Personalised Support for Your Child's Goals
Finding the right person to support your child is everything. That’s why we’re so selective—we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. All our tutors are background-checked and chosen for their expertise, so you can find someone who not only understands the subject inside-out, but who also gets to know your child’s unique learning style and what makes them tick. Every one-to-one lesson is built entirely around your child. If they're finding a particular topic in Chemistry tricky or need to go back over a key concept in History, their tutor can dedicate the whole session to it. This focused attention helps fill any gaps in their knowledge, clarifies their doubts, and ensures they feel prepared and confident for their exams. With our online platform, you can find the perfect tutor without having to travel. Lessons can be scheduled at times that suit your family, fitting easily around school, hobbies, and other commitments. It's a simple, flexible way to give your child the extra support they need, right from your home in Northumberland.

Michael is a great teacher for my Y11 son. My son always achieved 7-8 grade during his high school but only after a few months of taking science lessons with Michael he achieved 9 for all his science mock exam subjects! Both his knowledge and confidence is boosted. I highly recommend Michael.

Aaliya B
As a parent, I’m very happy with the support my son has received so far from Aaliya. She is friendly, reliable, and puts in extra time to organise resources for each lesson. She tailors the lessons to my child’s needs and always goes over the work carefully to make sure my child fully understands it. After just a few sessions, I can already see my child becoming more confident. I would definitely recommend her to other parents.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at Newcastle or Durham University. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the high A-Level grades needed for entry into competitive universities like Newcastle and Durham. They can provide targeted support with specific subjects, help with exam technique, and build the confidence your child needs to aim high.
We live in a rural part of Northumberland. Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, many parents find it even more effective and convenient. Online tutoring removes any geographical barriers, giving your child access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those nearby. Our interactive online classroom has tools like a whiteboard and document sharing, making lessons just as engaging as being in the same room.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Northumberland?
You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in the right subject and level for your child. Watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send a message to a few to find the perfect personality match. It’s all about finding someone your child will connect with.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can join Tutorful. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you’re choosing from the UK's best.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important for learning. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices typically start from £20 per hour and vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you only pay for the lessons you book.
Can tutoring help build my child's confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits parents tell us about. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. This personalised attention and positive reinforcement from their tutor often leads to a huge boost in their self-belief.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to make learning simple and interactive. It has a video chat function so your child and their tutor can see and hear each other, an interactive whiteboard for working through problems, and a tool for sharing documents and past papers. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like Maths and English, or can you help with other skills?
While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and Python.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which is usually enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss booking shorter or longer sessions directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss a plan with your tutor after the first session to decide what's best.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life can be busy, and we understand that plans change. You can easily reschedule or cancel a lesson through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice.
