Somtoo E
We are incredibly grateful for your support. When my daughter began her first semester, first year accounting modules, she was completely lost. Your clear explanations, patience, and ability to simplify complex concepts helped her gain confidence quickly.
Thanks to your exceptional teaching, she went from struggling to achieving a distinction in a very short time. We truly appreciate the difference you’ve made.

Abi, has tutoring our daughter for GCSE science Since September. Our daughters mock exam results have drastically improved and she is far more confident in this subject. Abi is knowledgeable, patient and is able to have fun with something our child finds very difficult. She has found the best way to support her learning needs so our daughter gets the most from the session. Would highly recommend. Thanks Abi

Francis J
Francis has been supporting my son with GCSE Physics and has made a real difference to both his understanding and confidence. Concepts that previously felt difficult are now explained clearly and patiently, and lessons are always well structured and engaging.
Francis is friendly, approachable, and puts my son at ease straight away, which has really helped build confidence and motivation. My son feels much more confident going into his GCSE preparation, and it’s been great to see his progress and growing interest in the subject.I also love that after each lesson I receive a clear summary from Francis outlining what they’ve covered, which is really helpful.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child has their heart set on a specific A-Level course at Selby College. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child achieve the GCSE grades needed for their desired courses at Selby College. They can focus on specific modules, improve exam technique, and build the confidence needed to secure their place.
We're worried about the competition for universities like York and Leeds. How can A-Level tutoring help?
It's a common concern. Our A-Level tutors, many of whom are graduates from top Russell Group universities, can provide in-depth subject knowledge to help your child aim for the highest grades. They can also help with personal statement advice and interview practice, giving your child's application an extra edge.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. Think about what your child needs – is it a confidence boost or help with a specific topic? Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How much do online tutors in Selby cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, starting from around £20 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
My child's confidence has taken a knock. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-belief that extends beyond one subject.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. 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.
My child is worried about their GCSEs. How much can they improve?
We're here to help ease that worry. Our data shows that we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades. A tutor can make a real difference by focusing on weaker areas and building a strong understanding of the subject.
Is it just for academic subjects? My child is interested in learning an instrument.
We offer tutoring for a huge range of skills beyond the school curriculum! You can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and piano to coding, public speaking, and even learning a new language for fun.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, allowing the tutor and your child to work together just as they would in person.
How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check. We also interview them and verify their ID and qualifications. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, and many families find it even more effective. With online tutoring, your child gets access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live nearby. Plus, tools like lesson recordings mean your child can revisit tricky topics anytime, which is a huge help for revision.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour a week is a great starting point. It provides consistent support without being overwhelming. You can always discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor, as they can recommend a plan based on your child's specific goals.
