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!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child prepare for the 11+ exams for Poole's grammar schools?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in helping children build the skills and confidence needed for grammar school entrance exams like those for Poole Grammar and Parkstone Grammar.
My child is worried about getting the GCSE grades needed for a good sixth form or university. Can you help?
Absolutely. This is a common concern for many parents. Our tutors provide focused support to tackle tricky topics and improve exam technique. In fact, our tailored approach can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to two grades, giving them the best chance of securing a place on their chosen course.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is key. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. From learning to play the guitar or piano to getting ahead with skills like coding and Python, you can find expert tutors to support your child's hobbies and passions too.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
Our tutor profiles make it easy. You can read about their experience, watch short introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors before booking to ask any specific questions you might have.
How much does online tutoring in Poole cost?
Prices vary as our tutors set their own rates based on their experience. You'll find all the costs clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget with no hidden fees.
How do I know the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked before they can join our platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has everything needed for a great session, including 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 home.
Can a tutor really help my child's confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. One-to-one tutoring creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As they start to understand difficult topics, their self-belief and confidence in the classroom naturally grow.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can discuss your child's needs with your tutor and arrange a session length that works best for you both.
How can I keep track of my child's progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going and what the focus will be for upcoming lessons. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
How quickly can we get started?
Very quickly! You can browse tutors and send messages straight away. Many of our tutors have availability within a few days, so you can often book your child's first session for the same week.
