Ifrah I
I have never used a private tutor before but my 15 year old daughter has started taking additional weekly Nat 5 Chemistry lessons with Ifrah and she has been incredibly patient with her.
She checks in with her in relation to what she feels she needs to work on and takes time to understand her learning style, making her feel comfortable and relaxed.
The lessons are going really well and my daughter’s confidence is growing through this additional learning. Thanks Ifrah!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to go to Derby College. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the specific GCSE grades needed for entry onto competitive vocational courses and apprenticeships, including those at Derby College. They can focus on the exact topics and exam techniques to help your child meet the entry requirements.
We're aiming for top grades to get into a competitive sixth form. Can tutors in Ripley help with specific GCSE goals?
Yes, this is exactly where one-to-one tutoring shines. You can find tutors who specialise in helping students aim for top grades (7-9). They can help your child master complex topics and develop the exam skills needed to stand out and secure a place at their first-choice sixth form.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor’s qualifications and experience. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking to make sure you find someone you all feel comfortable with.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must pass a background check before they can join our platform. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure you're choosing from the UK's best tutors.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key to learning. 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.
How much does online tutoring in Ripley cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, starting from £20 per hour. Each tutor sets their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
Is it just for school subjects, or can you help with skills like coding or learning guitar?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of skills beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn Python, master the guitar, or get help with a university application, you can find an expert tutor to support their passion.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, so your child can work with their tutor just as they would in person. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help my child build confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. This patient, one-to-one support helps them overcome learning blocks, celebrate small wins, and build the self-belief that makes all the difference.
What results can we expect?
While every child's journey is different, we're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs specifically, our personalised approach can help students improve their results by up to 2 grades, opening up more opportunities for their future.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which most parents and students find works perfectly. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find an arrangement that best suits your child's needs and concentration span.
How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?
You can get started very quickly. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours. Once you've found the right person and agreed on a time, you can book your first session and start learning right away.
