Lucie managed to build a great connection with my son right from the start. Her subject knowledge is excellent, and she explains things clearly without ever making him feel rushed.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to Coleg Gwent. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE grades they need?
Absolutely. Many parents in Pontypool use our tutors to help their children secure the grades needed for local colleges and sixth forms. A tutor can focus on the exact topics and exam techniques required for key subjects, helping to build both skills and confidence ahead of their exams.
We're hoping for a place at Cardiff University or the University of South Wales. How can tutoring now help with that?
Strong A-Level performance starts with solid GCSE foundations. By helping your child secure better GCSE grades, a tutor opens up more A-Level choices and builds the core subject knowledge they'll need to excel. This sets them on a much stronger path towards achieving the grades required by competitive universities.
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 for free before booking to ask any questions and make sure they’re the perfect fit for your child.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, but you can easily filter your search to find tutors who fit your family's budget. All pricing is clearly shown on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked, and we personally interview each one to ensure they are knowledgeable, passionate, and brilliant communicators. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of being judged. As they start to grasp topics they once found difficult, their self-belief naturally grows.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It’s simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a live video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Is this just for school subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to degree level, we also have expert tutors who can teach practical and creative skills like coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, or even a new language.
How quickly will we see an improvement in our child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with our tutors. The consistent, personalised support of one-to-one lessons is designed to make a real difference.
My child is struggling with one specific part of Maths. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits of one-to-one tutoring. If your child is stuck on a particular area, like algebra or trigonometry, the tutor can dedicate entire lessons to that topic until your child feels completely comfortable with it.
What if our family schedule is really busy?
That's why online tutoring is a great option. With no travel time and tutors available from morning to evening, seven days a week, you can easily find a lesson slot that fits around your child's school timetable and your family's commitments.
