Rudi C
Dedicated tutor
I am passionate about helping students succeed by turning complex topics into clear, step-by-step explanations that make sense. I have always enjoyed breaking things down for others, but my passion for tutoring really grew during my own A-levels when I helped a friend who was struggling with Chemistry. Seeing her confidence grow and watching her go from feeling overwhelmed to saying “I actually get this now” showed me how powerful good teaching can be. That experience made me realise how much I enjoy supporting students and helping them reach that same moment of understanding.

Leigh H
Leigh worked with our teenage son to prepare for his English Language iGCSE. With only a short time before the exam, they quickly developed a constructive rapport. Leigh was quickly able to assess where our son ‘was at’ in terms of his readiness for that exam. Over just a few sessions, analysis and writing skills were imparted and developed that meant our son felt prepared. Moreover, our son so enjoyed the way Leigh worked and his obvious passion for and skills in language analysis, that he chose to continue language analysis sessions just for the fun of it once the exam was over. A comment our son has made more than once after a session is, ‘I just love learning!’ The exam was passed really well – the outcome we hoped would be possible – but more significantly, we are grateful for Leigh’s ability to really draw out and develop our son’s enjoyment of the English language.

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.
