Padma A
Absolutely excellent. Teacher Padma has been patient, calm, engaging and inspirational to both our boys aged 5 and 7. She is thorough and in 2 weeks has transformed learning for both boys which is quite remarkable. Thoroughly and highly recommend Padma!

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

My child's school has a limited choice of Higher or A-Level subjects. Can an online tutor fill that gap?

Absolutely. This is one of the main reasons parents in the Orkney Islands come to us. We have specialist tutors across hundreds of subjects, including those that might not be available locally. Your child can get expert, one-to-one support to achieve a top grade in any subject they're passionate about.

We're worried about our child being prepared for a mainland university. How can a tutor help?

Our tutors can be a huge help here. Beyond just covering the subject syllabus, they can work with your child on the independent study skills, critical thinking, and academic confidence they'll need to succeed at university. This preparation can make the transition from a close-knit island community feel much less daunting.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?

You can start by searching for your subject and level, then filter tutors by price and availability. Every tutor has a detailed profile with a video, student reviews, and their qualifications. We recommend messaging a few to find the perfect personality match for your child.

How much does online tutoring cost?

Prices are set by the individual tutors and typically range from £20 to £45 per hour, depending on their experience and the subject level. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your family's budget.

What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. 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 do you make sure tutors are safe to work with children?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every single tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.

How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?

Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions and work through topics at their own pace until they 'get it'. These small wins build up over time, helping them feel much more capable and self-assured in the classroom.

Is it just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?

It's for both! While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects like Maths, English and Science, we also have experts who can teach practical and creative skills like coding, learning a musical instrument, or even a new language.

What do we need for an online lesson?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has all the tools your child needs, like an interactive whiteboard, built right in.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that a one-hour session once a week works best. This provides consistency and allows the tutor to build momentum with your child. However, it's completely flexible and you can arrange a schedule that works for you directly with your tutor.

What kind of results can we expect?

Every child's goals are different, but our focus is on helping them make real progress. We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and our platform has a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 customer reviews.

How quickly can we start?

You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors are able to offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like and send them a message to arrange your first session.
