Eduarda T
Eduarda has been a wonderful tutor for out son studying A Level maths. He has achieved a grade B and is on to university. With her patients, support and knowledge she has supportive him in achieving this grade, when initially he was predicted a D grade in maths. We could not recommend her highly enough for anyone requiring support for A Level maths. She even supported him with a few sessions in physics which secured him a grade B too. She is always on time and flexible if things need to change, she is just brilliant!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to go to Weymouth College. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE and A-Level curriculum. They can help your child focus on the specific subjects and grades they need to secure a place on their desired course at Weymouth College, building both their knowledge and their confidence.
We live on Portland and feel a bit isolated. How does online tutoring help?
That's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. It removes geography from the equation, connecting your child with top specialist tutors from all over the UK. It means they get access to the very best support without having to leave the island.
Can tutoring help my child get into a university like Bournemouth?
Definitely. We have many tutors with experience helping students with their A-Levels, personal statements, and university applications. They can provide the subject-specific support to help your child achieve the grades and confidence needed to apply to universities like Bournemouth.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat so you and your child can talk to them first and make sure it feels like the right match.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident for their GCSEs?
A tutor provides a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. By breaking down tough topics and practising exam techniques, they'll feel much more prepared and less anxious, which can make a huge difference to their results. We can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning with a trusted and vetted professional.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices are set by the individual tutors and vary depending on their experience and the subject level. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone brilliant who fits your budget with no hidden costs.
Is it just for core subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have experts in all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have tutors who can teach practical skills like coding, music theory, learning a new language, or even playing the guitar.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools. A tutor might work through a tricky algebra problem on the whiteboard with your child, or analyse a poem together on screen. Every session is also recorded so your child can re-watch it anytime.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find a weekly session works best to build momentum, but the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your schedule.
How quickly can we get started?
It's very quick. You can search for tutors today, message them for free to ask any questions, and often book your first lesson within 24-48 hours. It's designed to be simple and straightforward to find the right help.
