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 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.
