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.

Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

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.
