Nial D
Nial tutored my son in computer science in the run up to his GCSE exam, due to a pretty useless teacher at school. They worked together once a week for maybe 3 months. My son was predicted a 1,2 or 3 by his teacher and with Nial's help he got a 9! Highly recommended. Never a moan from my son about a tutor session with Nial. They got on well and it was worth every single penny!

Eduarda T
Eduarda has been a wonderful tutor for out son studying A Level maths. He has achieved a grade B and is on to university. With her patients, support and knowledge she has supportive him in achieving this grade, when initially he was predicted a D grade in maths. We could not recommend her highly enough for anyone requiring support for A Level maths. She even supported him with a few sessions in physics which secured him a grade B too. She is always on time and flexible if things need to change, she is just brilliant!

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.
