Reema S
Enthusiastic A level Economics Teacher
I have over ten years of teaching experience and am adept at adapting lessons to suit a variety of learning abilities. I have also marked and examined papers for the WJEC and so exam technique and feedback are key tools that I use in every lesson, to propel students into higher band marks.My approach to tutoring is the same as for learning: appreciate the big picture, understand why the subject matter is important and then dive into the detail. Once you appreciate the ‘why’, it makes the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ in Economics so much more enjoyable. I can help you join the dots, synthesise and really ...

Rai S
Incredible! It’s fair to say that science was never one of my sons favourite subjects. My son has only had a few lessons with Rai so far but we are making it regular to support his GCSE exams.
Rai’s sessions are full of energy and my son has so much more confidence and loves the way Rai explains things. He has already learnt so much!
I would absolutely recommend!

I had my first session with Amie today and she was exceptionally helpful. I do both law and criminology a level and while my session was for criminology, I am now also considering law a level sessions. Amie is very fast at responding and really helped me to understand concepts in depth.

Peter J
My son has been having regular weekly A-level maths lessons with Peter for a couple of months now and he's absolutely brilliant. My son says he's the best tutor he's had - he's super positive and encouraging, explains things really clearly and just makes things make sense that my son had found tricky in his college maths classes. Peter is always really helpful if we need to change the day or time of a session and responds to messages promptly. My son is already feeling much more confident about his maths exams and looks forwards to his sessions with Peter. Would definitely recommend!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE grades needed for Coleg Gwent?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in preparing students for their GCSEs with post-16 study in mind. They can help your child focus on the specific subjects and grades needed for entry into courses at institutions like Coleg Gwent or their school's sixth form.
My child hopes to go to a university like Cardiff or Swansea. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, building a strong academic foundation at GCSE is the first step towards a competitive university application. Our tutors can help your child secure the high grades that will open doors to top universities in Wales and across the UK.
How do I choose the best tutor for my child in Risca?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message them for free before booking to make sure they’re the perfect fit for your child.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level, so you can easily find an expert who fits your family's budget.
How are your tutors vetted for safety?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every UK-based tutor undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and an enhanced DBS background check, before they can teach on our platform.
Are the lessons aligned with the Welsh curriculum (WJEC)?
Yes, many of our tutors are experienced in teaching the WJEC curriculum. You can check their profile for details or message them directly to ask about their experience with specific exam boards to ensure the lessons perfectly match what your child is learning at school.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence?
One-to-one support is fantastic for rebuilding confidence. A tutor can create a patient, encouraging environment where your child feels safe to make mistakes and ask questions. Celebrating small wins in each lesson helps them see their own progress and believe in their abilities again.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our focused, one-to-one approach is designed for progress. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The key is consistent support that targets their specific needs.
Do you only offer help with GCSE subjects?
Not at all. While we have experts across all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have tutors who can teach practical and creative skills like coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, or even a new language.
Can we fit lessons around sports and other clubs?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You're not restricted by travel time or location. You can work with your tutor to find lesson times that fit perfectly around your family's busy schedule, whether it's after school, in the evening, or at the weekend.
