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!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study at East Durham College. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE grades?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in preparing students for their GCSEs. They can help your child build a strong understanding of the curriculum, focus on weaker areas, and develop exam techniques to help them secure the grades needed for their chosen A-Level or vocational course.
We're hoping for a place at a local university like Sunderland or Teesside. Can tutoring support this goal?
Yes, we have many tutors who are experienced in helping students with A-Levels and university applications. They can provide in-depth subject knowledge and help your child develop the independent study skills needed to succeed in higher education, strengthening their application.
How do I find the right tutor in Peterlee for my child?
You can easily search for tutors, filtering by subject and level. Each tutor has a detailed profile with their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors before booking to make sure they're a great fit for your child's personality and learning style.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key to learning. That's why we have our 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.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence?
Confidence is often the biggest barrier to progress. Our tutors provide a safe, encouraging space where there are no silly questions. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help your child rebuild their self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork as a whole.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a background check. We also interview every tutor and verify their ID and qualifications to ensure they meet our high standards.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has features like a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Is tutoring just for GCSEs, or can my child learn other skills?
While we help thousands of students with academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, we have a tutor who can help.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most sessions are one hour long. We find this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can always discuss different session lengths 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 on how they're getting on. Many tutors also provide session summaries to keep you updated on what was covered and what the plan is for the next lesson.
What subjects do you offer tutoring for?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. From core school subjects like Maths, English and Science at all levels, to degree-level support, professional qualifications, and hobbies, you're sure to find the expert support your child needs.
