Joseph M
Friendly, down-to-earth tutor who explains things clearly
Hi, I'm Joseph!I want you to have a genuine sense of what's going on---if you just blindly do practice problems, you'll get stuck the moment something looks different. I'll give you real understanding and make abstract ideas click.A session with me involves lots of discussion with questions going back and forth, so that you not only learn but actually connect with the material. Over a series of sessions, this approach makes ideas stick---not because you've memorised steps, but because you actually get how they fit into the bigger picture.I have a Master's and a PhD in Mathematics, which have given...

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Natalie G
Highly Recommended Maths Tutor!
Natalie is a fantastic tutor and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. She tailors every lesson to my daughter’s individual needs, and as a visual learner, my daughter finds her sessions engaging, fun, and easy to understand. Natalie prepares each lesson beautifully and always comes with creative ways to explain even the trickiest concepts.
We’ve used tutors for all three of our children over the years, and only Natalie and one other tutor have provided such thoughtful, detailed feedback after every session — something we find extremely valuable.
It’s genuinely hard to find a maths tutor who makes lessons enjoyable, but Natalie does exactly that.
For the first time ever, my daughter actually looks forward to her maths sessions! Her confidence has grown, and so have her skills.
I highly recommend Natalie to any child who struggles with maths or simply wants to strengthen their abilities. Thank you, Natalie, for your dedication and wonderful teaching approach!

Ricarda M
My daughter has been using Ricarda for A Level German tuition for the past couple of months. My daughter's test grades have already gone up and her teacher has commented on the progress she has made over the last couple of months. Ricarda is very personable, reliable and responsive. She listens, and quickly understood the areas my daughter needs to work on. She is a great tutor and I'm very happy that I chose her to support my daughter. I would highly recommend Ricarda!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE grades needed for Bridgend College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in preparing students for their GCSEs with a focus on securing the grades needed for specific college courses, like those at Bridgend College. They can help your child build confidence in key subjects like Maths and English to meet the entry requirements.
My child hopes to go to a university like Cardiff or Swansea. Can tutoring help with that?
Yes, it can. Strong A-Level or BTEC results are vital for applications to competitive universities like Cardiff and Swansea. Our tutors can provide support right through from GCSEs to A-Levels, helping your child build the subject knowledge and study skills needed to achieve the grades for their first-choice university.
How do I pick the right tutor for my child?
You can easily browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their experience and teaching style. It’s all about finding the right personality for your child.
What if my child doesn't get on 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 it's not the right fit for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online tutoring cost in Pencoed?
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 that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-esteem and show your child what they're truly capable of.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview every applicant and are very selective – we only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom. It has everything your child needs, like a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s a safe and secure space for them to learn from the comfort of home.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for all core school subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child can learn practical skills like coding or a new language, or even pick up a creative hobby like guitar or music production.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can message your child's tutor at any time to get feedback. After each lesson, tutors often share a summary of what was covered and the progress made, so you're always kept in the loop.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly! Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you could have your first lesson booked within a day. It's designed to be simple and fit around your schedule.
