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 attends The Gryphon School. Can we find a tutor familiar with the curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience supporting students from specific schools. You can use our filters to find tutors with experience in the GCSE or A-Level curriculum your child is following. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their specific experience.
We're aiming for a top university. Can a tutor help with more than just the syllabus?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors can provide excellent support beyond the curriculum. Many help students with university entrance exams, personal statement writing, and developing the independent study skills needed to succeed in higher education. It’s a great way to give your child a competitive edge.
How do I pick the right tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check ratings and reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking to ensure you find the perfect match. With over 4,100+ customer reviews and a 4.6-star rating, you can feel confident in your choice.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial for building confidence. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check before they can start teaching. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, ensuring the highest quality.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, tutors can patiently break down topics your child finds tricky, celebrate small wins, and create a safe space for them to ask questions without fear of judgement. This personalised encouragement is key to building their self-belief.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for drawing and sharing notes, and a document editor. It’s easy to use and allows your child to learn effectively from the comfort of home.
Is it just for core school subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of areas! Alongside traditional subjects like Maths and English, you can find expert tutors for learning a musical instrument like guitar, coding languages like Python, or even public speaking. It's a great way to support your child's hobbies and passions.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and your child. Most families find a regular weekly session works best for consistent progress, but you can book lessons as often or as little as you need. It's completely flexible to fit your child's specific requirements.
What subjects do you offer tutoring for?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, from Primary level Maths and English right through to A-Level Physics and university-level topics. Whatever your child needs help with, we're very likely to have an expert tutor available.
Can tutoring help with exam technique?
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents seek a tutor. Our tutors are brilliant at teaching exam technique, from time management and structuring answers to understanding mark schemes. This can make a huge difference to your child's final grades.
