Joseph M
Friendly, down-to-earth tutor who explains things clearly
Hi, I'm Joseph!I want you to have a genuine sense of what's going on---if you just blindly do practice problems, you'll get stuck the moment something looks different. I'll give you real understanding and make abstract ideas click.A session with me involves lots of discussion with questions going back and forth, so that you not only learn but actually connect with the material. Over a series of sessions, this approach makes ideas stick---not because you've memorised steps, but because you actually get how they fit into the bigger picture.I have a Master's and a PhD in Mathematics, which have given...

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.
