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
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE grades needed for Truro and Penwith College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in preparing students for their GCSEs. They can focus on the specific curriculum and exam board your child's school uses, helping them master difficult topics and build effective revision strategies to secure the grades they need for their chosen A-Level courses.
We live in St Austell. Does online tutoring really give my child the same advantage as someone in a big city?
Yes, it levels the playing field completely. Online tutoring gives your child access to the very best tutors from across the UK, not just those who live locally. This means you can find a specialist in any subject who is the perfect fit for your child, ensuring geography is never a barrier to their success.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
It's simple. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check qualifications, and see reviews from other parents just like you. Most tutors also offer a short introductory call to chat about your child's goals and see if it's a good fit before you book any lessons.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles, so there are no surprises. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
What happens 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 for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, 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 does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a live video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and working through problems together, and the ability to share files. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Can a tutor help my child with confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. The one-to-one attention from a supportive tutor helps your child ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. This personalised encouragement often leads to a huge boost in their self-belief and a more positive approach to learning.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
It's for so much more! While we have experts for all academic subjects from primary school to degree level, you can also find tutors for hobbies and personal development. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, speak Spanish, or get started with coding, we have a tutor who can help.
How often should my child have a lesson?
It's completely flexible and depends on your child's needs. Most families find a weekly one-hour session works well for consistent progress, but you can arrange lessons more or less frequently depending on your goals, such as extra sessions in the run-up to exams.
How quickly will we see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first is a positive shift in their child's confidence and attitude towards a subject, which is the foundation for academic improvement.
What subjects do you offer tutoring for?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. This includes core academic subjects like Maths, English and Science at all levels (including 11+, GCSE and A-Level), as well as languages, humanities, university-level tuition, and practical skills.
