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
Can a tutor help my child prepare for the specific A-Level courses at Penwith College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the GCSE grades needed for competitive post-16 courses. They can focus on the specific subjects and topics required, helping your child build the knowledge and confidence to meet the entry requirements for their chosen A-Levels at Penwith College.
My child goes to Humphry Davy or Mounts Bay. Can we find a tutor who understands their curriculum?
Yes. Our tutors are experts in the national curriculum for GCSEs and A-Levels. You can browse tutor profiles to find someone with specific experience in the exam boards and subjects your child is studying, ensuring the support they receive is perfectly aligned with what they're learning at school.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Penzance?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can filter tutors by subject, level, and price. Every tutor has a detailed profile with a video, student reviews, and their qualifications, so you can get a real sense of their personality and teaching style before you even send a message.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want your child to love their lessons. If the first session with a tutor isn't the right fit for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor. It’s that simple.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, with rates typically starting from £15 per hour. The cost depends on the tutor's experience and the subject level. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe to work with children?
Your child's safety is our absolute priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a DBS background check. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
Is it just for school subjects, or can my child learn a hobby like guitar or a new skill like coding?
It's for everything! While we have thousands of expert academic tutors for subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have tutors for music, languages, coding, and more. It's a great way for your child to explore a new passion or develop a valuable new skill.
How can a tutor 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 they might be shy about in class. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help your child build self-belief that extends far beyond a single subject.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and engaging. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child and their tutor can work through problems together in real-time, just as they would in person. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How quickly can we expect to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our goal is to make a positive impact from the very first session. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence straight away. For academic progress, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade with regular lessons.
What subjects can we find tutors for?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. From core academic support in Maths, English, and the Sciences for GCSE and A-Level, to primary school help with the 11+, and even degree-level and professional qualifications. Whatever your child needs help with, we have an expert for it.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you and your tutor can agree on a session length that works best for your child, whether that's a shorter 45-minute session or a longer 90-minute one before an exam.
