Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Ifrah I
I have never used a private tutor before but my 15 year old daughter has started taking additional weekly Nat 5 Chemistry lessons with Ifrah and she has been incredibly patient with her.
She checks in with her in relation to what she feels she needs to work on and takes time to understand her learning style, making her feel comfortable and relaxed.
The lessons are going really well and my daughter’s confidence is growing through this additional learning. Thanks Ifrah!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a place at the University of Bristol. Can a tutor help with their A-Levels?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in preparing students for A-Levels with the goal of attending top universities. They can provide targeted support to help your child master their subjects, refine their exam technique, and build the confidence they need to achieve the required grades.
We live in Gloucestershire and are preparing for the 11+ exams. Can we find a specialist tutor?
Yes, you can. We have experienced tutors who specialise in 11+ entrance exam preparation, including for the Gloucestershire grammar school tests. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in verbal and non-verbal reasoning, maths, and English to give your child the best possible support.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents to get a feel for each tutor's personality and teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a session to ensure you find the perfect fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. That's why we have a 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 does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home, with all their lesson notes saved in one place for easy revision.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors must have a valid DBS check and provide professional or academic references. We interview every tutor and are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online tutoring cost in the South West?
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. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits within your family's budget.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence?
Confidence is key to learning. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them rebuild their self-belief and rediscover a love for learning.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like coding or music?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding in Python, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find a brilliant and inspiring tutor to help them.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of students who have regular lessons with us improve by at least one academic grade.
What happens in a typical tutoring session?
The first session is usually about getting to know your child and understanding their strengths and the areas where they need support. After that, lessons are tailored to their specific needs, whether that's working through a tricky bit of homework, practising past exam papers, or going over a topic they didn't quite grasp in class.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying for lessons is simple and secure. You add your payment details to your account, and after each completed lesson, payment is automatically processed. You'll never need to worry about paying the tutor directly or handling cash.
