Katie W
My daughter has had Katie for nearly a term now and she is loving the sessions. She is inspired by Katies teaching of A-level maths and always looks forward to them. Katie is reliable, friendly, responsive to messages and makes her lessons great fun as well as informative, getting my daughter A-level exam ready. We are really glad we found her and would recommend. Her teaching has already had an impact on my daughter's test results and confidence.

She is absolutely amazing!! I am a mature student studying A levels; moving from a design background into science is a huge leap, Chinaze has been nothing but supportive and helpful. Her knowledge is impressive and she’s extremely flexible with lessons. Every time I’ve had a session with her, I’ve left feeling very confident. I’m that annoying student who is always asking why and she always has an answer, even if it’s not relevant to the subject. Really grateful to have found her :)

Chris is a really patient and knowledgeable A-Level Chemistry tutor. Having been through quitea few chemistry tutors on tutorful before, I settled with Chris as Ifound his style of teaching really worked with me compared to other tutors. Chris' style for me is mainly to focus on understanding the key concepts to ensure I can apply these ideas to the exam effectively, and it is definetely working and I am gaining a lot of confidence very quickly. Would highly recommend.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

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.
