Securing top grades in core subjects like Maths and English is often the first step towards a place at a leading university, like Cambridge or another Russell Group institution. It's about more than just passing exams; it's about developing the skills to confidently tackle complex algebra, or the ability to analyse a tricky quote from 'Macbeth'. These are the skills that help your child's application stand out and give them the best possible chance to pursue the future they want.

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 a place at a competitive university like Cambridge. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for competitive entry. They can focus on achieving the exceptional A-Level or GCSE grades required, work on specific entrance exam content, and even help with interview techniques to give your child the best possible chance.
We're in Sawston. Does the tutor need to be local to understand the curriculum at Sawston Village College?
Not at all. The great thing about online tutoring is that you can find the perfect subject specialist from anywhere in the UK. All our tutors are experts in the national curriculum for England, so they'll be completely familiar with the GCSE and A-Level specifications your child is studying, regardless of their specific school.
What if my child doesn't click with their tutor in the first lesson?
We understand that the right fit is crucial. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the best tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience right on their profile. You can also send them a message before booking to discuss your child's needs and see if they're a good fit.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, starting from around £20 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work through problems together, just like they would in person.
My child has lost their confidence. Can a tutor really help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits parents tell us about. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor builds their self-belief, celebrating small wins and helping them see that they are capable of succeeding.
How do I know my child is safe online?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and we personally interview them. All lessons are recorded, providing complete peace of mind for you and a useful revision tool for your child.
Is tutoring just for core academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all the core school subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have expert tutors for musical instruments like guitar and piano, languages, and even practical skills like coding and Python.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson per week, as this consistency helps build momentum. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange lessons as often as you need with your tutor, whether that's a one-off session before an exam or more frequent lessons for intensive support.
Can a tutor help with GCSEs specifically?
Yes, our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum. They can help your child master tricky topics, refine their exam technique, and build the confidence to perform their best. In fact, targeted tutoring can help improve a student's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
How quickly can I find a tutor?
You can find and book a tutor very quickly. Many of our tutors respond to messages within a few hours, and you could have your child's first lesson booked for this week.
