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 at St Ivo Academy. Can a tutor help them aim for a place at Hills Road or Long Road Sixth Form?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for families we support. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the top GCSE grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on strengthening subject knowledge, improving exam technique, and building the confidence your child needs to perform their best.
We live in St Ives, but are the tutors local?
Because all our tutoring is online, you get access to the best tutors from across the UK, not just those limited to the St Ives area. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists who can perfectly match your child's subject needs and learning style.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for success. 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 watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications on their profile. You can also send them a message before booking to discuss your child's needs and ensure they're a great match.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we personally interview each one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, starting from around £22 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Can a tutor help with my child's confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. As your child starts to understand topics they previously found difficult, their self-esteem and confidence grow, which often has a positive impact on their work across all subjects.
Can we get help with specific exam techniques for GCSEs?
Definitely. Our tutors are brilliant at helping students prepare for exams. They can work on everything from time management and revision strategies to understanding mark schemes and structuring answers to get the highest possible marks.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is custom-built for one-to-one learning. It includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a document-sharing function. It's simple to use, and all lessons are recorded so your child can review them anytime.
Is it just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have expert tutors for music, languages, coding, and even university application support like personal statement writing. It's a great way to explore a new hobby or passion.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
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 our students improve by at least one academic grade.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payment is simple and secure. You add your card details to your account, and payment is taken automatically 24 hours after each lesson is complete. You'll never have to deal with cash or awkward payment conversations.
