Personalised Online Tutoring That Puts Your Child First

We believe the best results come from a genuine partnership. That’s why we help you find an expert tutor who not only knows their subject inside-out, but also understands how to connect with your child. We carefully vet every tutor, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, and all are background-checked, giving you complete peace of mind. They’ll take the time to understand your child's learning style and what makes them tick, creating a truly supportive relationship. Every one-to-one lesson is built around your child's specific needs. If they're finding a particular topic in Chemistry tricky or need help structuring an essay, their tutor can focus the entire session on that one area until it clicks. This tailored approach helps fill any gaps in their knowledge, reinforces what they learn at school, and builds the confidence they need to excel. For GCSE students, this focused support can help improve their results by up to 2 grades. Arranging support for your child shouldn't add to your to-do list. With online tutoring, you can forget the stress of extra journeys after school. You can find the perfect tutor from anywhere in the UK and schedule sessions at times that fit around your family's life. All your child needs is a laptop and an internet connection to get the expert help they need from the comfort of your home.

Peter T
Peter helped me understand the foundations of Complex Numbers in a single lesson. He clearly explained different forms, roots, De Moivre’s Theorem, and the Argand diagram. These topics had not made sense to me over the last four months at school. I already feel confident and encouraged. His teaching approach is clear and effective. I recommend him.

Michael B
Michael helped my son prepare for his Religious Studies mock exam for his GSCEs. As we had just moved back from Dubai and he hadn't covered this topic before, Michael's support in preparing him for the content to be covered was really helpful. My son also liked his tutoring style and was very positive with each lesson.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for A-Levels at Penistone Grammar and then a Russell Group university like Sheffield or Leeds. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. This is a very common goal for families we support. Our tutors can help your child build the strong GCSE foundation needed to secure a place on competitive A-Level courses. They focus on deep subject knowledge and exam technique to help your child aim for those crucial top grades (7-9).

Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught at schools like Penistone Grammar?

Yes. Our tutors are experts in the UK national curriculum, including the specific exam boards like AQA and Edexcel used by schools across the country. They can tailor their lessons to align with what your child is learning in the classroom, helping to reinforce their understanding and prepare them for their exams.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?

You can view detailed profiles for each tutor, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding a great personality fit for your child.

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

We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have a 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 build confidence for their GCSEs?

Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors break down difficult topics into manageable steps, celebrate small wins, and provide constant encouragement, which makes a huge difference to how a child feels about a subject.

How much does online tutoring cost in Penistone?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £25 to £50. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level. You can easily filter by price to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It allows your child and their tutor to work together in real-time, just as they would in person.

How do I know my child is safe online?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform must pass an enhanced DBS background check. We also record all lessons, which you can review at any time, providing a secure and transparent learning environment.

Is tutoring just for core school subjects?

Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for Maths, English and Science, we also offer support for a huge range of other interests. Whether your child wants to learn a new language, master the guitar, or get started with coding, you can find an expert to help them explore their passions.

What results can we expect from tutoring?

Every child's journey is different, but our focus is on making real progress. We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For students taking GCSEs, our targeted support has been shown to help them improve by up to 2 grades.

How many sessions will my child need?

This really depends on your child's goals. Some students need a short-term boost to prepare for a specific exam, while others benefit from weekly sessions throughout the school year to build their knowledge and confidence over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor if needed – it’s completely flexible.
