Legend of a tutor with a positive outlook to succeed!
I am currently in my third year of studying music at Durham University.

Sunil P
My daughter has been working with Sunil for more than 3 months from the start of year 9 towards GCSE. We went with Sunil because his sole focus is on Physics, unlike lots of of other tutors who presents them self as "jack of all trades", as I believe in specialisation. My daughter finds Sunil lessons very helpful. Sunil experience as an examiner is rare and his focus on exact exam answers is very valuable. We asked for homework which Sunil has been happy to provide and check. He is kind and very enthusiastic about physics. I would strongly recommend Sunil as a Physics tutor

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to competitive universities like Bristol or Bath. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top universities. They can focus on achieving the specific A-Level grades needed, strengthen subject knowledge to help their application stand out, and even provide guidance on personal statements for courses at universities like Bristol, Bath, and Exeter.
We're in Shaftesbury. How can online tutoring supplement my child's learning at their school?
Online tutoring is a great way to complement the teaching your child receives at school. A tutor can provide one-to-one attention to fill any knowledge gaps, reinforce tricky topics covered in class, and stretch them beyond the curriculum to ensure they feel confident and prepared to compete with students from any school in the country.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, 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 right 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 message them before booking to discuss your child's needs. It's all about finding the person you feel will connect best with your child.
My child's confidence has taken a knock. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and overcoming challenges together in a one-to-one setting is a fantastic way to rebuild their self-belief.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, but you can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your budget.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview them and check their qualifications to ensure they are experts in their field. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a two-way interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It’s designed to be simple and engaging, so your child can focus on learning with their tutor.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most families choose a regular weekly slot to build momentum, but you can also book one-off sessions for specific challenges like exam revision or help with a tricky piece of homework. It's completely flexible.
Is tutoring only for core academic subjects?
Not at all! While we have experts in Maths, English, and Science, we also offer tutoring for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get ahead with coding in Python, or learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor for it on Tutorful.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the focused, one-to-one attention means progress can happen quickly. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and enthusiasm for a subject.
Is Tutorful just for students who are struggling?
Not at all. While we absolutely help students who need to catch up, many parents use Tutorful to help their child excel and get ahead. Whether it's aiming for the top grades at A-Level to secure a university place or exploring a subject they love in more depth, our tutors are here to help your child achieve their personal best.
