My qualifications such as BA(Hons) Degree in Education where I used Autism in the classroom as my Dissertation, Certificate in Education, L3 Awareness in ASD and L5 Adult Specialist in English , are necessary to implement resources to motivate such barriers and complex needs, including...

Experienced English tutor
Do you find English a challenge? If so, I am sure that I am the tutor for you.

My aim is to plan lessons to develop students’ critical thinking skills and ability to put their thoughts from brain to paper.

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!

My daughter had only a brief time with Christopher but he was very reliable. He was very thorough in the topics we requested and obviously knew economics in detail. He expanded on subjects when required but kept it simple to understand- thank you so much for your time
Would recommend Christopher!

My daughter has had Katie for nearly a term now and she is loving the sessions. She is inspired by Katies teaching of A-level maths and always looks forward to them. Katie is reliable, friendly, responsive to messages and makes her lessons great fun as well as informative, getting my daughter A-level exam ready. We are really glad we found her and would recommend. Her teaching has already had an impact on my daughter's test results and confidence.

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 worried about getting the grades for South Tyneside College. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is a common concern for many parents, and it's exactly where a tutor can help most. They can work with your child to identify specific areas of weakness in their GCSE subjects, build their subject knowledge, and improve their exam technique, giving them the confidence and skills they need to meet the entry requirements.
We're hoping for a place at a competitive university like Newcastle or Northumbria. Can a tutor support A-Level studies?
Yes. Many of our tutors are specialists in A-Level subjects and have experience helping students secure places at top universities. They can provide in-depth subject support to help your child achieve the highest grades, and can also offer guidance on personal statements and university application strategies.
How do I find the right tutor for my child in South Shields?
It's simple. Just enter the subject your child needs help with and their level of study into our search bar. You can then browse profiles of available tutors, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. You can even message tutors for free before booking to make sure they're the perfect fit for your child.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, but start from as little as £20 per hour. Each tutor sets their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key to learning. 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.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a secure and engaging space for your child to learn from the comfort of your own home, with no travel required.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident for their exams?
Confidence comes from understanding. A tutor provides a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. By patiently working through difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps your child build self-belief and reduce exam anxiety.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like GCSE Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for core academic subjects, we also offer support for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding in Python, or learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor on Tutorful.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set rule, as every child is different. Many parents find a regular weekly lesson helps their child stay on track and build momentum. Your tutor will be happy to discuss your child's goals with you and recommend a plan that works for them.
Can we get help preparing for the 11+ or other school entrance exams?
Yes, we have many experienced tutors who specialise in preparing children for the 11+ and other specific school entrance exams. They can provide targeted practice and build the core skills and confidence your child needs to perform at their best.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about their goals, what they find difficult, and what they enjoy about the subject. It's a relaxed session designed to build rapport and create a learning plan tailored to your child.
