Every tutor is an expert in their subject and is background-checked, so you can feel completely reassured. They’ll take the time to get to know your child, understand their learning style, and build a plan that focuses on their specific goals, whether that's aiming for an A* or simply feeling less anxious about an upcoming exam.

Daniel P
Daniel kindly came in at the last minute to help my son understand what was needed for his EAPI (part of A level PE coursework). Daniel was really responsive, and gave great advice in a form my son understood how to implement. My son just did his EAPI today and the feedback from his teacher/examiner is that he did very well. I am confident that Daniel's intervention has resulted in my son getting a higher grade than he would have otherwise.

Richard S
Richard is an excellent tutor with great advice. Instead of telling me the answer he allows me to independently think and gives small clues on how to get to the answer. He also provided me with great key points and acronyms that help me remember essay structure as well as giving me external resources which contain useful information for my exam.

Jack R
We’ve had a fantastic experience with Jack as a maths tutor - so far my daughter had three sessions with him. Jack is an excellent communicator and explains concepts clearly and step-by-step, making even the all topics feel manageable. His lessons are well-structured and thoughtfully tailored to my daughter’s needs (we aim for confidence in class and confident GCSE mark).
Jack is also incredibly friendly and positive, which creates a really encouraging learning environment - one of my key requirements. My daughter genuinely enjoys her lessons with him and is already feeling much more confident in her maths curriculum. Highly recommended!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for Saffron Walden County High School's sixth form. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Entry into a competitive sixth form requires strong GCSE grades. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help improve your child's results by up to two grades, focusing on the specific subjects and topics they need to master. They can help build both the knowledge and the exam confidence needed to secure their place.
With Cambridge so close, the pressure is on for a Russell Group university place. How can tutoring support this?
We understand that pressure completely. Our A-Level tutors are experts at helping students achieve the top grades (A and A*) that Russell Group universities look for. Beyond just covering the curriculum, they can help your child develop the independent thinking and analytical skills that make an application stand out.
How do I choose the best tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. You can also send them a message before booking to discuss your child's needs and ensure they're the perfect match.
How much does tutoring in Saffron Walden cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £55 per hour. You can filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a secure and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check and been personally interviewed by our team. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't feel the first tutor is the right fit, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Can tutoring help if my child is feeling anxious or has lost confidence?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. A tutor can create a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions and work at their own pace, which can make a huge difference to how they feel about a subject.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have experts who can teach practical and creative skills. Whether your child wants to learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or master a new language, you can find a tutor for it here.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also chat with them through our messaging system to discuss how things are going and review lesson recordings to see what your child has been working on.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which we find works best for maintaining focus and covering topics in enough detail. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How many lessons will my child need?
This completely depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly lessons to build their understanding over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
