David P
Maths Tutor - Enthusiastic and Driven
Over three years experience tutoring A Level Mathematics and Physics and three years experience tutoring GCSE Mathematics. I am fully DBS checked. Currently studying for a MSci in Mathematical Physics.I am a driven and enthusiastic individual who enjoys to teach. My method of teaching is somewhat novel as I believe that the key to a student understanding something is finding the correct way to teach them, simply put if something isn't working try another method. It is this which I enjoy most about tutoring, finding the way that's right for that student to havethat "aha!" moment and "get it". I...

Aimee O
Creative, friendly tutor
Hey! I’m Aimee, and I’ve just graduated from UEA studying molecular biology and genetics. I enjoy helping others and believe I have an excellent method of teaching and that I create a calm relaxed environment, as I think it’s so much harder to learn and understand a subject when you are stressed and worried :). Mostly I have tutored before in maths as this is a subject which I enjoyed and found easy to explain, however I also have a deep understanding of all sciences (biology, chemistry and physics) so I would be glad to help with those too!When it comes to my teaching I usually go over some quest...

Lucie M
Lucie has been working with my son for four months on his 11+ Verbal and Non-verbal Reasoning, and I'm really impressed. She’s very patient and genuinely involved in the lessons. Lucie managed to build a great connection with my son right from the start. Her subject knowledge is excellent, and she explains things clearly without ever making him feel rushed.
My son made solid progress and grew much more confident. I’d happily recommend Lucie to anyone looking for a kind, reliable and effective tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're in Rayleigh and aiming for Westcliff High or Southend High. Can we find a tutor who specialises in the 11+ for these schools?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in 11+ preparation and have experience helping children with the specific requirements for local grammar schools. You can use our search filters to find tutors with proven 11+ experience and read reviews from other parents in your position.
What if my child doesn't get a grammar school place? Can a tutor help prepare them for a school like The FitzWimarc School?
Of course. A tutor can be incredibly helpful for the transition to any secondary school. They can help build your child's confidence, fill any knowledge gaps from primary school, and give them a strong start in core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, ensuring they feel ready and prepared from day one.
How do I choose the best tutor for my child?
It's a personal choice, and we make it easy. You can watch introductory videos, read detailed profiles, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone your child will really connect with.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, starting from around £20 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has been through a rigorous selection process, including an identity and background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, there's no fear of asking a 'silly' question. Tutors provide a patient and encouraging space where your child can make mistakes, build understanding, and experience those 'lightbulb' moments that make learning feel great.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While academic support for subjects like Maths and English is very popular, your child can also learn practical skills like coding, learn to play the guitar, or even study a new language. It's about supporting all of their learning goals.
What if we don't like the first lesson?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. 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 long will my child need a tutor for?
There's no set rule. It completely depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly lessons to build their skills over time. It's completely flexible and up to you.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, we get it. You can easily manage your schedule through the platform. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can reschedule your lesson for a more convenient time without any charge.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are simple and secure. Once you add your payment details to your account, you are only charged after each lesson has been completed. You can review all your charges and lesson history right from your dashboard.
