Eduarda T
Eduarda has been a wonderful tutor for out son studying A Level maths. He has achieved a grade B and is on to university. With her patients, support and knowledge she has supportive him in achieving this grade, when initially he was predicted a D grade in maths. We could not recommend her highly enough for anyone requiring support for A Level maths. She even supported him with a few sessions in physics which secured him a grade B too. She is always on time and flexible if things need to change, she is just brilliant!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to apply to King's College London. Can a tutor help with their application?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with their UCAS applications, including personal statements and interview preparation. You can find tutors who are graduates of Russell Group universities themselves and can offer fantastic insight into what admissions tutors are looking for.
Are there tutors who understand the competitive nature of getting into top universities from a Southwark college?
Yes. We have tutors from all over the UK, many of whom have specific experience supporting students aiming for top-tier universities. They can help your child build the strong academic profile and study habits needed to stand out in a competitive field.
Can a tutor advise on A-Level choices, like whether General Studies is a good option?
This is a great question for a tutor. An experienced A-Level or university admissions tutor can provide specific advice tailored to your child's goals. They can help weigh the pros and cons of subject choices and ensure their A-Level combination presents the strongest possible case to universities.
What 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 do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and see reviews from other parents—we have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. It’s all about finding someone your child clicks with.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour, depending on their experience and the subject level. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find quality tutoring that fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a secure and effective way to learn from the comfort of your home, at a time that works for you.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and help them see their own progress, which can make a huge difference to their self-esteem.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors must pass a background check and provide professional references. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our approach is proven to work. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The key is the consistent, personalised support that helps them build understanding and confidence over time.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most parents find that a one-hour lesson per week is a great starting point. This provides regular support without overwhelming your child. You can always discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor based on your child's specific needs and goals.
Is it just for core school subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Alongside core academic subjects like Maths and English, your child can learn practical skills like coding or a new language, or even take up a hobby like guitar or singing. It's all about helping them find what they love.
