Personalised Support to Help Your Child Thrive
The right tutor does more than just teach a subject; they get to know your child. We understand that, so we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring they are the best. Every tutor is background-checked and an expert in their field. They'll take the time to understand how your child learns, whether that means finding a new way to explain algebra or practising how to structure an essay on *Macbeth*, so their confidence grows alongside their grades. This is why 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific needs.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
The local schools like Tuxford Academy set a high bar. Can a tutor help my child keep up?
Yes, absolutely. A one-to-one tutor can provide support that's tailored to the pace and curriculum of your child's school. They can help reinforce what's taught in class, work through tricky homework, and build confidence so your child feels capable of meeting those high expectations.
My child is hoping to go to a competitive university like Sheffield or Nottingham. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. Our tutors can help your child secure the strong GCSE and A-Level grades needed for competitive university courses. Many of our tutors are graduates from top UK universities themselves and can provide invaluable guidance on study techniques and exam preparation to strengthen their application.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their introduction videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ensure they're the perfect fit for your child.
How much does online tutoring in Retford cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits within your budget.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to success. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

A great tutor provides a safe and encouraging space for your child to ask questions without feeling judged. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief and turn anxiety into a positive attitude towards learning.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of skills beyond the school curriculum! You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar, to coding languages like Python, to new hobbies. It's a great way to support your child's passions.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is ideal for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent sessions in the run-up to exams, or less frequent lessons for general support. You can discuss the best schedule directly with your tutor.
Can tutoring really help improve my child's GCSE results?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. In fact, our data shows that we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades. The personalised attention of a one-to-one tutor helps to tackle specific weak spots and build a deep understanding of the subject.
