Alan W
Vastly experienced A level chemistry tutor
I have taught A level chemistry since 1988 and have experience of several examination boards (principally AQA and OCR but there is little variation in content between boards since 2015) both as a teacher and as an examiner. Until recently, I taught at a large 6th form college teaching A level chemistry only and led the department for ten years before becoming a senior manager. Chemistry can be a confusing subject due to the uniqueness of the language used and the impossibility of actually seeing the subject on a molecular level.However, it is a fundamentally logical subject and, hence, I like to...

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to a competitive sixth form in Wigan. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors can help your child build the strong academic foundation needed for competitive applications. They can focus on strengthening key subject knowledge for GCSEs to ensure they meet the entry requirements and feel confident taking that next step.
We're aiming for a university in Manchester or Liverpool. Can tutors help with the step up to A-Levels?
Definitely. Many of our tutors are A-Level specialists and can help your child navigate the transition from GCSEs. They can introduce new topics, build advanced study skills, and provide the support needed to aim for the top grades required by leading universities.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Shevington?
It's easy to find the perfect fit. You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience for your child's age and subject. You can also watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message before booking to make sure they're a good match.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, 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. This means you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
Are all 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 are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence?
Confidence is key to learning. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, tutors help rebuild self-esteem and show your child what they're truly capable of.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.

Yes, it can make a significant difference. Our focused, one-to-one approach helps fill in any knowledge gaps and builds exam technique. In fact, our data shows that we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades.
Is it only for core subjects like Maths and English, or can you help with other skills?
While we have thousands of tutors for core academic subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for everything from modern languages and music theory to coding and learning a new instrument like the guitar.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can discuss your child's needs with your chosen tutor, as some may offer longer or shorter sessions.
What if we need to change or cancel a lesson?
We understand that family life can be busy. Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You can rearrange or cancel a lesson with your tutor, but please be sure to check their individual cancellation policy, which is usually 12 or 24 hours' notice.
