Patrick T
Professional tutor
I was inspired to become a teacher after watching Richard Feynman on TV. His ability to explain complex scientific ideas in such a clear and engaging way fascinated me. While I knew I wasn’t destined for a Nobel Prize, I wanted to emulate his approach—making Physics accessible, interesting, and even fun. That inspiration led me to spend 35 years teaching in UK high schools, specialising in ‘A’ level Physics. Although I enjoy teaching other sciences, Physics has always been my passion.Over the years, I’ve learnt that success in teaching isn’t just about having subject knowledge—it’s about understan...

Lawrence C
After trying several tutors for A-Level Chemistry, I can say for certain Lawrence has been my favourite as he is patient and helps you understand the topic in full to further consolidate knowledge. I’ve had him for months and would definitely say he’s helped me gain more confidence in chemistry. Would recommend him to anyone trying to improve their Chemistry grades.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive Sixth Form after their GCSEs. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the top GCSE grades needed for competitive Sixth Form entry. They can focus on exam technique, subject knowledge, and building confidence to help your child stand out.
We're considering universities in Wolverhampton or Birmingham. Can a tutor support A-Level studies for these applications?
Yes. Our tutors cover a wide range of A-Level subjects and can provide the in-depth support needed to achieve the grades for university applications. They can help your child master complex topics and prepare thoroughly for their final exams.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding the right personality and teaching style for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right personal connection is key. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check. We also manually vet each application, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online tutoring in Shifnal cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an excellent tutor who also fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
Confidence often grows from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement. As their tutor helps them overcome challenges and see real progress, their self-belief in their own abilities naturally improves.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and working through problems together, and a document sharing function. It's designed to be as engaging and effective as being in the same room.
Is it just for core school subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for Maths, English, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding in Python.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson once a week is a great starting point. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be adjusted based on your child's needs, such as increasing sessions in the run-up to exams.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard lesson length is one hour. This gives enough time to review previous work, tackle a new topic in depth, and set goals for the next session without overwhelming your child.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can message your child's tutor at any time to get updates. Many tutors provide regular feedback after each session, so you'll always be in the loop about what they're covering and how your child is getting on.
