Passionate Motivational Singing Teacher
Hi Everyone, My name is Santella and I have been teaching singing for the past 14 years. I am very passionate about motivating individuals to find their true voice by structuring my classes around building one's confidence. I have found over the years that when students let go of their inhibitions, they are amazed at what their voices can do.My career started at the age of 21 when I decided I wanted to be a dancer. After 2 years of dance training, the teachers noticed that I also had a strong voice and advised me to go to a school that offered singing as well as dance. Upon taking their advice,...

Karol L
Science and maths passionate and enthusiastic tutor
I offer classes to help with ongoing material and homework as well as exam preparation up to chemistry and maths/further maths A-level.I adjust the pace to the student's needs, explaining problems from different perspectives and using different methods. My lessons are always example heavy to enable the student to understand the process rather than memorise formulas and learn definitions by heart. Each lesson starts with a quick review of previous topic, giving the student an opportunity to ask questions and get feedback on homework or additional tasks they have done. Then I start each topic from...

I know how tricky they can feel at first — but once the ideas start to click, they become logical, satisfying, and even fun.I’ve always enjoyed explaining things clearly and seeing that moment when a student suddenly gets it.

Megan G
Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

Alisdair T
Alisdair is a real pro. I was stuck with the SPSS analysis of my thesis and in three short sessions he explained everything in such a learner-friendly way that I could navigate around all the functions with ease. I highly recommend Alisdair for similar projects and wanted to also send a big THANK YOU all the way from Austria!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child with the specific requirements for getting into a competitive sixth form?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students bridge the gap between GCSEs and A-Levels. They can focus on achieving the specific grades needed for entry, work on exam technique, and build the foundational knowledge required to excel in their chosen sixth form, whether that's locally or further afield.
My child attends Samuel Whitbread Academy. Can we find a tutor familiar with their curriculum?
Yes. While our tutors are based across the UK, they are all experts in the national curriculum for England, including the specific exam boards (like AQA, Edexcel, OCR) used by schools like Samuel Whitbread Academy. You can check each tutor's profile to see which exam boards they specialise in to find the perfect match.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for success. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect 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.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects beyond the school curriculum?
Yes, we do! While we have experts in all core academic subjects, we also have talented tutors who can teach skills like coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, or even mastering a new language for fun. It's a great way for your child to explore new interests.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Shefford?
You can filter tutors by subject and level, and then read their profiles to learn about their experience and teaching style. Many tutors have introductory videos so you and your child can get a feel for their personality. Reading reviews from other parents is also a great way to find the perfect match.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has been through a rigorous selection process, and we only accept 1 in 8 applicants. This includes an identity check and a mandatory DBS background check, so you can have complete peace of mind.
My child's confidence is low. How can a tutor help with that?
Confidence is often the biggest barrier to learning. A one-to-one tutor creates a safe, patient environment where your child isn't afraid to make mistakes or ask 'silly' questions. Celebrating small wins and explaining things in a way that clicks for them can make a huge difference to how they feel about a subject.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.
What do we need for online lessons? Is the platform easy to use?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is built into our website, so there's no software to download. It includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing to make lessons engaging and effective.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which is usually enough to cover a topic in depth without losing focus. Most students have one lesson per week, but you can arrange a frequency that works for your child and your schedule directly with your tutor.
Can I see what other parents think before I book?
Yes, absolutely. We're proud to have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 customer reviews. You can read reviews from other parents and students on each tutor's profile to help you make an informed choice. It's a great way to hear about their successes first-hand.
How do I pay for the lessons?
Payments are handled securely through our platform. Once a lesson is complete, your payment is automatically processed using the card details you have on file. It's simple and secure, so you don't have to worry about cash or bank transfers.
