Enthusiastic (and patient) tutor of FRENCH for all levels
Hi I have always loved French and have a natural flair and feel for it, so, naturally, I went on to study it atUniversity. My particular course gave me the opportunity to work in both France and Switzerland so I got to experience how people really work and live in both these places.I also travelled widely during my placements to experience the culture and understand the identity of the locals. My family and I have now returned to the UKafter more than 12 years of living and working in Paris. In fact, both my children were born in Paris. I am keen to maintain their level in French so regularly tutor...

Axel K
When my daughter faced some difficulties during her A level history course, we decided that she needs some help. I found Alex on one of the online tutoring platforms. We took a couple of lessons and my daughter’s tests results improved so much. But of the challenges was that we are from different language backgrounds. I didn’t believe it was possible to find someone who can explain the subject for a kid not speaking English language. Surprisingly it all worked perfectly! Alex is extremely helpful and supportive tutor. He always sends additional materials to study and the lesson obviously goes far beyond 1 hour online on the platform. I definitely can recommend Alex as a tutor with high attitude to a subject, reliable person and love to what he is doing!!!

Sarah H
My son has had a couple of lessons with Sarah and so far we have found her lessons very beneficial. Her knowledge base is strong and she is able to pace the lesson depending upon the knowledge of the pupil in the subject/topic. She seems well-versed in preparation for GCSE subjects. My son is doing physics and chemistry with her. We have got a number of other sessions planned with her and I will share further review after them.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child meet the entry requirements for Bridgend College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the GCSE grades needed for specific colleges and sixth forms. When you message a tutor, you can ask about their experience with the curriculum and what your child needs to secure their place.
My child is hoping to go to a Welsh university like Cardiff or Swansea. Can a tutor help?
Yes. Our tutors can provide fantastic support for students aiming for top universities. At A-Level, they can help your child deepen their subject knowledge and develop the independent study skills that universities like Cardiff and Swansea look for in their applicants.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend watching tutors' intro videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also read reviews from other parents and send a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking a lesson.
How much do online tutors in Porthcawl cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone to suit your budget. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, with no hidden costs or subscriptions.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is interviewed and has their ID and qualifications checked. They also undergo a background check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to join us.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, 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 build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. When a tutor tailors lessons to their pace and celebrates their small wins, it can transform how they see themselves as a learner. This boost in self-belief often has a positive impact across all their subjects.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so it feels just like being in the same room. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Is it only for core school subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have amazing tutors for all academic subjects, we also offer support in practical skills like learning to play the guitar, coding in Python, or even mastering a new language. It's all about helping your child pursue their passions.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long. This gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor.
Can I book lessons at a time that suits our family?
Yes, absolutely. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile and book a time that fits around your family's other commitments. Many tutors offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can send them a message and book your first lesson in just a few clicks. Many families are able to have their first session within a day or two.
