The local schools in Richmond are so competitive. Can a tutor help my child keep up?
Absolutely. This is one of the main reasons parents in Richmond upon Thames come to us. A tutor can provide personalised, one-to-one support that helps your child consolidate what they've learned in a busy classroom, build confidence in weaker areas, and feel prepared rather than overwhelmed.
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form place. Can a tutor help with their GCSEs?
Yes. Our tutors are experts in helping students prepare for their GCSEs. They can create a tailored revision plan, work through past papers, and focus on the specific topics your child needs to master to secure the top grades needed for their chosen A-Levels and sixth form.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and teaching style. Reading reviews from other parents is also a great way to get a feel for who they are. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking your first session.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our 'First Lesson Guarantee'. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

While we have thousands of tutors for subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also offer support for a huge range of other skills. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning to play the guitar or piano, to coding in Python, to developing public speaking skills.
How can a tutor help my child if they're feeling anxious about school?
A great tutor can be a huge confidence-booster. By creating a supportive, patient, and encouraging learning environment, they help your child see that they *can* understand difficult topics. This success often has a positive ripple effect, helping them feel more confident back in the classroom.

Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built virtual classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.

Every child learns at a different pace, but the one-to-one focus means progress can happen quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one academic grade.
What happens in a typical tutoring session?
Sessions are tailored to your child's needs. The tutor might start by reviewing a topic from the last lesson, then introduce a new concept using the interactive whiteboard, and finish by working through practice questions or a past paper together. It's all about what will help your child the most.
