Ife-Oluwa K
Effective tutor
I am about to enter my final year of university studying Economics at the University of Nottingham. In my academic career I have achieved an 8 (A*) in GCSE Mathematics, a 7 in IB Economics and 6 in IB Psychology. In order to guarantee each student's success, I will begin my journey with them by doing a past paper so that I can gain knowledge of their understanding and identify areas of strengths and areas that can be improved. From this point, I will consolidate their understanding of the syllabus by going over each topic (progressing in difficulty), explaining areas they are unsure of, doing sample...

Mustafa A
So far, I have had four lessons with Mustafa, and I have found him to be really supportive and thorough. In my first lesson, he took the time to identify my strengths and weaknesses in GCSE Chemistry so that he could prepare future lessons to the topics I was least confident in.
Throughout our lessons, we have worked through each topic carefully, making sure I fully understand the content before moving on. I also asked if we could go through my Chemistry mock exam questions in an upcoming lesson, and he was very happy to do so, which made me feel really supported. He always finishes lessons with exam questions, which has helped build my confidence and exam technique. Mustafa has also discussed revision techniques with me, which I’ve found very helpful when studying independently.
If there is any content I don’t understand, he quizzes me and explains it clearly until I feel confident. As someone who isn’t always confident in my answers, I now feel much more comfortable asking questions and learning from mistakes. I look forward to continuing my lessons with Mustafa. Thank you.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Swanscombe and are aiming for a grammar school in Dartford or Gravesend. Can a tutor help with the Kent Test?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ and Kent Test preparation. They have extensive experience helping children build the specific English, Maths, verbal, and non-verbal reasoning skills needed. They can create a tailored plan to help your child feel calm and confident on test day.
My child hopes to go to the University of Kent. Can we find a tutor to support them through A-Levels?
Yes, we have many expert A-Level tutors who can provide in-depth subject support to help your child achieve the grades they need for their university application. Many of our tutors are university lecturers or graduates from top universities themselves, offering fantastic guidance.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before you book. Think about your child's personality and learning style – finding someone they connect with is key to building their confidence.
How much do online tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no surprises.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How do you ensure tutors are safe to work with?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced background check. We also interview every applicant and verify their ID and qualifications, accepting only 1 in 8 to ensure the highest quality.
Can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence?
Yes, this is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. Celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics helps rebuild their self-belief.
Is tutoring just for exams, or can my child learn other skills?
It's for everything! While we have many tutors who specialise in exams like the 11+, GCSEs, and A-Levels, you can also find tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, speak Spanish, or get started with coding, we can help.
How long does it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the personalised focus of one-to-one tutoring means progress can happen quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions.
What happens in a typical tutoring session?
Sessions are tailored to your child's goals. A tutor might start by reviewing a tricky piece of homework, then introduce a new concept using the interactive whiteboard, and finish by working through practice questions together to build confidence for an upcoming test.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Some families use tutoring for a short-term boost before an exam, while others have regular weekly sessions throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
