Hello! My name is Ayan and I am a second year medical student.My teaching style consists of helping you actually enjoy biology.

I have two years worth of tutoring experience and my goal is to create a supportive environment where you can feel free to ask questions.

Lory L
tutor
I am bi-lingual (Italian and English) and enjoy conversing in both languages.I lived in Italy for many years. Italian is such a vibrant language, full of drama and passion and to learn it properly you also have to use your hands!! I love teaching Italian and when I hear my students talking confidently, it makes me so happy. I particularly enjoy teaching pronunciation and will repeat for as long as it takes to get the right sound! I have perfect fluency and understanding. I also enjoy teaching English and it shows in my lessons. They are fun and very helpful.My lessons can be tailored to your requirements....

Jack R
Very patient and very clear when explaining stuff. Doesn’t go too fast and really knows what he’s talking about. I knew basically nothing about python before I got him, now I’m much more confident with everything and am able to do some good coding on my own. Would definitely recommend if you’re interested in anything python related!

My daughter had only a brief time with Christopher but he was very reliable. He was very thorough in the topics we requested and obviously knew economics in detail. He expanded on subjects when required but kept it simple to understand- thank you so much for your time
Would recommend Christopher!

My daughter has had Katie for nearly a term now and she is loving the sessions. She is inspired by Katies teaching of A-level maths and always looks forward to them. Katie is reliable, friendly, responsive to messages and makes her lessons great fun as well as informative, getting my daughter A-level exam ready. We are really glad we found her and would recommend. Her teaching has already had an impact on my daughter's test results and confidence.

Chinazaekpele J
She is absolutely amazing!! I am a mature student studying A levels; moving from a design background into science is a huge leap, Chinaze has been nothing but supportive and helpful. Her knowledge is impressive and she’s extremely flexible with lessons. Every time I’ve had a session with her, I’ve left feeling very confident. I’m that annoying student who is always asking why and she always has an answer, even if it’s not relevant to the subject. Really grateful to have found her :)

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.
