Absolutely. This is a very common goal for parents we support. A tutor can create a focused plan to tackle the specific topics and exam techniques needed to boost your child's GCSE grades, helping them secure their place on their chosen A-Level courses.
With Durham University nearby, the standards feel very high. Can tutors help my child aim for top grades?
Yes, they can. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aiming for entry into competitive universities. They can help your child master their subject at a deeper level, develop advanced skills, and build the academic confidence needed to achieve the highest grades.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just 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 check reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's needs before booking. It’s all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child will respond to.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence?
Confidence is key to learning. Our tutors create a patient and encouraging environment where your child feels safe to make mistakes and ask questions. By breaking down tricky subjects into manageable steps and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild your child’s self-belief.

Most students have one lesson per week, as this provides consistency and keeps momentum going. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged with your tutor to fit your child’s needs and your family's schedule.
