Support That's Built Around Your Child
We believe the best learning happens when a tutor truly understands your child. That’s why our tutors take the time to get to know their learning style, their strengths, and the areas where they need a bit more help. It’s a partnership designed to help them feel understood and supported. We carefully select the best tutors from across the UK, with only 1 in every 8 applicants making it onto our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands. Every online lesson is built entirely around your child’s needs. If they're struggling with a specific part of the 11+ curriculum or need to go over a tricky topic from a recent test, the session can focus on exactly that. This targeted approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade – it helps them fill in the gaps and move forward with confidence. Juggling school runs, clubs, and homework is hard enough. Our online tutoring fits around your family’s busy schedule. You can find a fully background-checked tutor and have your child learning from the comfort of your own home, without the extra travel. It’s a simple, secure way to get them the extra help they need, right when they need it.

Ffion W
Absolutely fabulous.. my daughter was in tears this week as her teachers at college refused to help , and isolated her from the class. Tonight after just one hour with Ffion, she has turned a corner for my daughter, going from feeling like a failure to feeling positive again and given her hope that she can do this. Cant thank her enough .. will definitely be booking her again.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ exam for Queen Elizabeth Grammar School (QEGS). Can I find a specialist tutor?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have experience helping children build the skills and confidence needed for grammar school entrance exams. You can check tutor profiles for their specific experience with the 11+ curriculum.
We're hoping our child will eventually apply to universities like Durham or Lancaster. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. Our tutors can provide fantastic support for A-Level students aiming for top universities. They can help your child deepen their subject knowledge, refine their exam technique, and build the strong academic record needed for competitive applications.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is tutoring only for core school subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects, we also have experts who can teach practical skills like learning to play the guitar, coding in Python, or even speaking a new language. It’s a great way for your child to explore a new hobby.
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 to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to ask any specific questions you have.
How much does online tutoring in Penrith cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. This transparency allows you to find an excellent tutor that fits your family's budget.
My child's confidence is low. How can a tutor help?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. Celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics helps them see they *can* do it, which makes a huge difference.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child to collaborate with their tutor just as they would in person. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How do I know the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced background check. We also interview them and verify their ID and qualifications, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants to ensure the highest quality and safety.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find a one-hour lesson per week is a great starting point, as it provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child's goals and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
How reliable is Tutorful?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students on their learning journey. We have a rating of 4.6 stars from over 4,100 customer reviews, which we hope gives you confidence in the quality and reliability of our platform and tutors.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. Because the lessons are one-to-one, they can quickly spot areas of improvement and share that with you. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going.
