Greg B
Greg is a fantastic tutor, he makes the lessons fun and is very patient.
Greg was very thorough and thoughtful in his prep and feedback for each lesson provided. He gave us regular updates post each class regarding what was covered and progress on the topic and was very flexible and a total pleasure.
Greg has successfully tutored my son through the 11+ exams and my son looked forward to his sessions with Greg each week. I can’t recommend Greg enough!

Nigel Q
My 15-year-old son is working through the GCSE Spanish with Nigel. I am very relieved to have found such a good teacher. He is clear and thorough, and he encourages him throughout the lessons. It is clear that Nigel knows the syllabus well and is an experienced teacher, which in my opinion is very important for the exams. Most importantly, my son enjoys the lessons and thinks Nigel is an excellent teacher.
I also rate this site 5 stars. It is clear and simple to use.

Siobhan R
My son has been tutoring with Siobhan for quite a while now and all i can say is how fantastic she has been in guiding him through his mathematics journey!
Her patience, ways of explaining and using visuals to help him understand, the time she takes to get to know how he learns and checking to ensure he fully grasps a concept, are all very commendable!
His confidence has increased and he looks forward to his lessons knowing that Siobhan will be there to support him in a subject that previously he was very anxious about.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to a competitive sixth form or Sandwell College. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors can help your child secure the specific GCSE grades needed for their desired post-16 courses. They can focus on exam technique, subject knowledge, and building confidence to help them meet the entry requirements.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Birmingham or Aston in the future. Can tutoring now help?
Definitely. Strong GCSEs are a key part of a competitive university application. By helping your child achieve their best possible grades now, you're building a strong academic foundation that will support their future A-Level studies and UCAS application.
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. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding a great personality match for your child.
How much do tutors in Oldbury cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level, so you can find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have 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 feel more confident about their GCSEs?
Confidence comes from understanding. In one-to-one sessions, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help them build self-belief alongside their subject knowledge.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer expert support for all academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! Your child can learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or learning a new language.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How long will my child need a tutor for?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
What happens in a typical tutoring session?
A typical session is tailored to your child's needs. It might involve going over tricky homework, preparing for a test, or working through a topic they find challenging. The tutor will use the interactive whiteboard to explain concepts and work through examples together with your child.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback, and you can message them at any time to discuss your child's progress. Most importantly, you'll likely see a positive change in your child's confidence, their school results, and their whole attitude towards learning.
