Sophie C
Supportive English tutor with six years of experience.
Hello! My name is Sophie and I graduated from Durham University in English Literature in June 2024. I decided to study English Literature at university because I've always loved reading books and discussing them at length. Reading and analysing books gives us a better understanding of the world we operate within, human psychology, and the past. Outside of English, I love to draw, knit, and embroider. I also come from a big family, so I love spending time with them when we are together. I grew up internationally and lived in several countries before finally moving back to the UK.I also write my...

* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Callum A
Our son had a 15-minute introductory session with Callum focusing specifically on Transformations in Coordinate Geometry. We were genuinely impressed.
Callum explained rotations, reflections and translations in a clear, logical way, checked our son’s reasoning, and quickly identified the gaps in his understanding.
We’re now booking full sessions and feel confident that we’ve chosen a truly excellent maths 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.

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.
