Ffion W
Absolutely fabulous.. my daughter was in tears this week as her teachers at college refused to help , and isolated her from the class. Tonight after just one hour with Ffion, she has turned a corner for my daughter, going from feeling like a failure to feeling positive again and given her hope that she can do this. Cant thank her enough .. will definitely be booking her again.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to apply to the University of Bristol or Bath. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Our A-Level tutors are brilliant at helping students aim for top universities. They can provide in-depth subject knowledge to secure high grades, offer guidance on personal statements, and help your child build the confidence needed to excel in a competitive environment.
The schools in Somerset are good, so why would my child need a tutor?
Even with great schooling, the competition for top university places is intense. A tutor provides dedicated one-to-one attention that isn't always possible in a classroom. They can focus on the specific areas your child needs to improve to turn a good grade into an exceptional one, helping them stand out from other applicants.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to ensure you find the perfect fit.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a rigorous selection process, including identity and background checks. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child learns from the best.
What happens 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 in Somerset cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, subject, and level of study. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your budget.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All you need is a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection.
My child's confidence is low. How can a tutor help with that?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement. Celebrating small wins and patiently working through challenges helps rebuild their self-belief, which often has a positive impact across all their subjects.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that consistent tutoring makes a real impact. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects beyond the school curriculum, like coding or music?
Yes, we do! We have tutors for a huge range of subjects and skills. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get ahead with a coding language like Python, or prepare for a specific entrance exam, you can find a specialist tutor on our platform.
Can we schedule lessons during school holidays or weekends?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits of Tutorful. Our tutors offer flexible scheduling, including evenings, weekends, and school holidays, so you can easily find a time that fits around your family's commitments.
Can you cater for specific learning needs, like dyslexia?
Many of our tutors have experience and qualifications in supporting students with specific learning needs (SpLD) such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, and ADHD. You can use our search filters to find tutors with this expertise or mention it when you message them.
