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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for a Thurrock grammar school. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation, including the specific requirements for Thurrock's grammar schools. You can use our search filters to find tutors with proven experience in verbal and non-verbal reasoning, maths, and English to help your child feel confident and prepared for exam day.
I'm worried about my child's GCSEs and getting into USP College. How can a tutor help?
We understand that's a big concern. A tutor can make a huge difference. They'll work with your child to strengthen subject knowledge, improve exam technique, and build confidence ahead of their GCSEs. By focusing on the areas they find toughest, they can help secure the grades needed for their first-choice post-16 options, like USP College.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can view detailed profiles for every tutor, watch their introduction video, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding the right personality match to help your child thrive.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If it's not the right fit for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online tutoring in South Ockendon cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level. You can easily filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so your child and their tutor can work together just as they would in person. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Our tutors create a friendly, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By mastering topics they once found difficult, their self-belief can grow week by week.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects, we also believe in learning for life. You can find expert tutors for hobbies and professional skills, from learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to mastering coding languages like Python.
How often should my child have a lesson?
It's completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most families choose a regular weekly slot to build momentum, but you can schedule lessons as and when you need them. It's totally flexible to fit around your life.
How quickly can I find a tutor?
Very quickly. You can browse tutors and send messages straight away. Many tutors reply within a few hours, and you could have your child's first lesson booked for this week.
