Omar K
An outstanding tutor who has made a real difference for my son. Since the mock exams, he has helped deliver a 2+ grade improvement, which speaks volumes about the quality of his teaching. His lessons are consistently engaging, clear, and well-structured for Business A-level, making even challenging topics accessible and interesting. He has gone above and beyond to support my son’s learning and confidence ahead of exams. I would highly recommend him to any student looking to improve their results.

Amba R
I have had Amba as my tutor for when I was retaking my law exam with almost zero knowledge. In just a few months with weekly lessons she has helped me massively to improve my writing, taught me and explained to me the topics I needed to understand and has always been pushing for improvement even when I was doing in her opinion. Due to this, I have managed to greatly pass the module that I needed to pass to progress onto my next year. I highly recommend her as a tutor.

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

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.
