Chris is a really patient and knowledgeable A-Level Chemistry tutor. Having been through quitea few chemistry tutors on tutorful before, I settled with Chris as Ifound his style of teaching really worked with me compared to other tutors. Chris' style for me is mainly to focus on understanding the key concepts to ensure I can apply these ideas to the exam effectively, and it is definetely working and I am gaining a lot of confidence very quickly. Would highly recommend.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Natalie G
Highly Recommended Maths Tutor!
Natalie is a fantastic tutor and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. She tailors every lesson to my daughter’s individual needs, and as a visual learner, my daughter finds her sessions engaging, fun, and easy to understand. Natalie prepares each lesson beautifully and always comes with creative ways to explain even the trickiest concepts.
We’ve used tutors for all three of our children over the years, and only Natalie and one other tutor have provided such thoughtful, detailed feedback after every session — something we find extremely valuable.
It’s genuinely hard to find a maths tutor who makes lessons enjoyable, but Natalie does exactly that.
For the first time ever, my daughter actually looks forward to her maths sessions! Her confidence has grown, and so have her skills.
I highly recommend Natalie to any child who struggles with maths or simply wants to strengthen their abilities. Thank you, Natalie, for your dedication and wonderful teaching approach!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for East Durham College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for their GCSEs with the goal of securing a place at a specific college. They can focus on the key subjects and topics your child needs to master to meet the entry requirements for competitive A-Level courses at East Durham College.
My child is hoping to apply to Durham or Newcastle University. Can a tutor support this?
Yes, we have many tutors who specialise in university preparation. They can help your child not only achieve the A-Level grades required for prestigious universities like Durham and Newcastle but also provide support with personal statements and entrance exam preparation.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles for each tutor, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory video. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to find the perfect match.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason 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 the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single UK-based tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS background check. We also interview every tutor and verify their ID and qualifications, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident about their exams?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor creates a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, tutors help your child build self-belief, which makes a huge difference in how they approach their exams.
Is tutoring just for core school subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have experts in all academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also offer tutoring for a wide range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language for fun, you can find a brilliant tutor for it here.
How much does online tutoring in Seaham cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find quality tutoring that fits your family's budget.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to install.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss lesson length with your tutor, as they can often be flexible to suit your child's needs.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying is simple and secure. Once a lesson is complete, your payment is automatically processed through our platform using the card details you provide. You'll only ever be charged after a lesson has taken place.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You and your child can communicate with the tutor through our messaging system to get feedback. After each lesson, your tutor can share notes on what was covered and discuss the plan for future sessions, so you're always kept in the loop.
