We believe the best learning happens when there's a real connection. That's why we help you find a tutor who not only knows their subject inside-out but also understands how to connect with your child. They'll take the time to get to know your child's learning style, their strengths, and the areas where they need a bit more help, creating a supportive partnership you can trust. Every online session is built around your child's specific needs. If they're struggling with a particular topic in GCSE Chemistry or need to refine their essay technique for A-Level History, the lesson will focus precisely on that. This targeted approach means no time is wasted, helping them make real, measurable progress and build confidence with every session. We know family life is busy. Our online platform makes it easy to find background-checked tutors and schedule lessons at times that work for you, whether it's after school or on a weekend.

Lucie managed to build a great connection with my son right from the start. Her subject knowledge is excellent, and she explains things clearly without ever making him feel rushed.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to get into Durham Sixth Form Centre. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the specific GCSE grades needed for competitive post-16 colleges. They can focus on the exact curriculum, improve exam technique, and build your child's confidence to help them secure their place.
We live in Spennymoor. Are the tutors local?
All our tutoring is online, which means you get access to the very best tutors from across the UK, not just those in the Spennymoor area. This gives you a much wider choice of experts who can perfectly match your child's needs, subject, and learning style, all from the comfort of your home.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the right fit for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first choice of tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence?
Confidence is key to learning. A one-to-one tutor can create a safe, encouraging space where your child feels comfortable asking questions. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-belief and a positive attitude towards learning.
Can tutoring help my child improve their GCSE grades?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and our focused approach can help your child improve their GCSE results by up to two grades. Tutors can target specific weak spots and teach effective exam strategies.
Is it just for academic subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have amazing tutors for core subjects, we also offer support for hobbies and personal development. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning to play the guitar or piano to mastering new skills like coding in Python.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple. All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which most families find works perfectly. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor if your child would benefit from shorter or longer lessons.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are handled securely and easily through the platform. You add your card details to your account, and you're only charged 24 hours after each completed lesson. You're always in control.
