The Right Support, Every Step of the Way
Finding the right person to support your child is everything. That’s why we’re so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Our tutors are experts not just in their subject, but in getting to know your child as an individual. They'll take the time to understand their learning style, pinpoint exactly where they're getting stuck, and build a genuine rapport that makes learning feel positive and encouraging. Every lesson is designed around your child's specific goals. Instead of following a rigid plan, the tutor will focus on what your child needs most, whether that's breaking down non-verbal reasoning for the 11+ or getting to grips with algebra for their GCSEs. It’s this personalised approach that helps so many students—90% of them, in fact—improve by at least one grade. With online tutoring, you can fit expert support easily around your family's busy schedule. There’s no need to rush to appointments across town; all you need is a laptop. You can find and message tutors for free, arranging lessons for times that work for you, giving your child the help they need without adding any extra stress to your week.

Hello!! My name is Lucy and I love teaching science as I am a real life scientist! I have been published in Science journals and my work is used across the globe.

Jack R
Very patient and very clear when explaining stuff. Doesn’t go too fast and really knows what he’s talking about. I knew basically nothing about python before I got him, now I’m much more confident with everything and am able to do some good coding on my own. Would definitely recommend if you’re interested in anything python related!

My daughter had only a brief time with Christopher but he was very reliable. He was very thorough in the topics we requested and obviously knew economics in detail. He expanded on subjects when required but kept it simple to understand- thank you so much for your time
Would recommend Christopher!

My daughter has had Katie for nearly a term now and she is loving the sessions. She is inspired by Katies teaching of A-level maths and always looks forward to them. Katie is reliable, friendly, responsive to messages and makes her lessons great fun as well as informative, getting my daughter A-level exam ready.

Chinazaekpele J
She is absolutely amazing!! I am a mature student studying A levels; moving from a design background into science is a huge leap, Chinaze has been nothing but supportive and helpful. Her knowledge is impressive and she’s extremely flexible with lessons. Every time I’ve had a session with her, I’ve left feeling very confident. I’m that annoying student who is always asking why and she always has an answer, even if it’s not relevant to the subject. Really grateful to have found her :)

asked questions
See all FAQs
We're preparing for the 11+ for Plymouth grammar schools like Devonport High. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have specific experience helping children with the format and content of the exams used for entry into Plymouth's grammar schools. You can filter your search for tutors with 11+ experience and read reviews from other parents.
My child is hoping to go to a university like Exeter. Can a tutor help with their A-Levels to get the right grades?
Definitely. Securing top A-Level grades is crucial for competitive university courses. Our A-Level tutors are subject specialists who can provide targeted support to help your child master their topics, refine their exam technique, and build the confidence they need to achieve their university ambitions.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit for your child's personality and learning style. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to ask about their experience before booking. It helps to find someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. Because of our 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.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check and has been personally interviewed by our team. We're very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who applies is accepted onto our platform.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour depending on their experience and the subject level. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can easily find someone who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident about their exams?
A great tutor does more than just teach a subject; they build confidence. By creating a supportive, one-to-one environment, they can help your child overcome learning barriers, celebrate small wins, and see that they are capable of achieving their goals. This boost in self-belief is often the key to success.
Is this just for school exams, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, 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 in Python, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor here.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set rule, as every child's needs are different. Many parents find that a regular weekly lesson provides the consistency needed for steady progress. You can discuss your child's goals directly with your chosen tutor to create a plan that works for you.
Can I speak to a tutor before I book a lesson?
Yes, we encourage it! You can send free messages to any tutor to ask about their teaching style, experience, and availability. This helps you get a feel for them and make sure they're the right choice for your child before you commit to a lesson.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. You can easily manage your lessons through your Tutorful account. Tutors have their own cancellation policies, but most just ask for 24-48 hours' notice to reschedule a session without charge. You can see their specific policy on their profile.
