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

Salma A
I have been using Salma as an Arabic tutor for my daughter. The lessons have always run very smoothly. She is very punctual and organised. My daughter found her to be very gentle, engaging and funny which has helped her alot to enjoy the language and to want to learn and do her work.
As a parent, I found that I could communicate openly and honestly with Salma and she has always been very reassuring in her responses, explaining things very clearly.
Thank you Salma for a wonderful experience.

Sam F
Sam has been truly inspirational for our son, Chester. He really wants to study triple Science for GCSES and struggles with remembering so much information and confidence. Our son is dyslexic and has dyspraxia and constantly struggles with reading accurately and using scientific vocabulary. Sam has so much experience in these areas and has spent time building Chester’s confidence so he can access Physics, Biology and Chemistry successfully. It is giving Chester time to revisit lessons that he feels he needs more time on, as well as practise more challenging skills. Sam has shown extensive knowledge not only in his subjects but also with learning challenges and special educational needs. We cannot thank Sam enough and plan to continue with Chester’s twice weekly lessons. His success has continued with amazing lesson reviews and also the results of Chester’s recent year 10 mock exams. Thank you Sam.

Lucie managed to build a great connection with my son right from the start. Her subject knowledge is excellent, and she explains things clearly without ever making him feel rushed.
My son made solid progress and grew much more confident. I’d happily recommend Lucie to anyone looking for a kind, reliable and effective tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to go to Strode College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE grades they need?
Absolutely. Many parents in Shepton Mallet use our tutors to help their children secure the grades needed for post-16 education. A tutor can focus specifically on the subjects and topics your child needs to strengthen, helping them build the confidence and knowledge to meet the entry requirements for colleges like Strode.
We're aiming for a top university like Bristol or Bath. How can tutoring support this long-term goal?
Tutoring is a great way to support long-term ambitions. By building a strong foundation at GCSE and A-Level, a tutor can help your child achieve the high grades needed for competitive university courses. They can also help develop crucial study skills and a deeper understanding of their subjects, which are vital for success in higher education.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. The best fit is often someone your child feels comfortable with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is, which is why we have our 'First Lesson Guarantee'. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and we verify their ID and references. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much do online tutors in Shepton Mallet cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £20 to £45 per hour depending on their experience and the subject level. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Can tutoring help my child improve their GCSE results?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. Our personalised approach helps students tackle their specific weaknesses, which is why 90% improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs specifically, our data shows we can help students improve their final results by up to two grades.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a document-sharing tool, so it feels just like being in the same room. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in a subject?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they can rebuild your child's self-belief, often leading to a renewed enjoyment of the subject.
Is it just for core subjects like Maths and English, or can you help with other skills?
While we have thousands of expert tutors for academic subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find tutors for modern languages, musical instruments like guitar or piano, and even practical skills like coding and Python.
How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session per week is a great starting point, but you can arrange more frequent lessons with your tutor, especially in the run-up to exams. It's completely flexible and you can decide what works best for your child.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first session is usually a chance for the tutor to get to know your child and understand their learning style, strengths, and areas for improvement. They'll discuss your child's goals and create a plan for future lessons. It's a great opportunity for you and your child to see if the tutor is the right fit.
