Jack R
Very patient and very clear when explaining stuff. Doesn’t go too fast and really knows what he’s talking about. I knew basically nothing about python before I got him, now I’m much more confident with everything and am able to do some good coding on my own. Would definitely recommend if you’re interested in anything python related!

Chinazaekpele J
She is absolutely amazing!! I am a mature student studying A levels; moving from a design background into science is a huge leap, Chinaze has been nothing but supportive and helpful. Her knowledge is impressive and she’s extremely flexible with lessons. Every time I’ve had a session with her, I’ve left feeling very confident. I’m that annoying student who is always asking why and she always has an answer, even if it’s not relevant to the subject. Really grateful to have found her :)

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for King Edward VI schools. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have experience helping children with the specific requirements for grammar school entrance exams, including those for the King Edward VI schools. You can filter your search for tutors with 11+ expertise.
We're thinking about A-Levels at Sandwell College. Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE grades they need?
Definitely. Securing the right GCSE grades is crucial for A-Level choices. Our tutors can provide targeted support across all GCSE subjects to help your child master difficult topics, improve their exam technique, and build the confidence they need to achieve their goals.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Smethwick?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience on their profiles. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It’s all about finding a great personality match.
How much does online tutoring 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 allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every UK-based tutor must pass an ID check and have an enhanced DBS background check. We also interview every tutor and are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply, ensuring your child learns from a trusted professional.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How can online tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. When a tutor tailors lessons to their pace and celebrates their progress, children start to believe in their own abilities, which can make a huge difference in the classroom.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for core academic subjects, we also have experts who can help your child explore a passion or learn a new skill. You can find tutors for everything from coding and learning a musical instrument to public speaking.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. Tutors make sessions engaging and interactive, working through problems and topics in a way that’s tailored to your child.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great rhythm for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent sessions in the run-up to an exam. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can message your tutor at any time to get updates on how your child is doing. Our tutors are partners in your child's education and are happy to provide regular feedback on their progress and the topics they've covered in lessons.
How do online lessons work technically?
It's very straightforward. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download. It's designed to be simple and easy to use.
