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
We live in Tavistock and are aiming for a Plymouth grammar school. Can a tutor help with the 11+?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are familiar with the requirements for competitive grammar schools. You can filter for tutors with specific 11+ experience and discuss your child's goals directly with them to ensure they're the right fit.
My child is at the local comprehensive and wants to apply to Exeter. Can a tutor help them achieve top A-Level grades?
Yes, that's a common goal we help students with. Our A-Level tutors are experts in their subjects and can provide targeted support to help your child master difficult topics, refine their exam technique, and build the confidence needed to aim for the highest grades.
How do I pick the right tutor for my child?
You can use our filters to narrow down tutors by subject, level, and price. Reading their bios, watching their intro videos, and checking reviews from other parents will give you a great feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message them before booking to ask any specific questions.
How do I know the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a thorough vetting process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best in a safe, professional environment.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right relationship is key to 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 can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a non-judgmental space makes a huge difference. Tutors create a safe environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help your child see their own progress, which is a fantastic confidence booster.
How much does online tutoring cost in Tavistock?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £50 depending on their experience and the subject level. You can use the search filters to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget, with no hidden fees or subscriptions.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and file sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for core school subjects, we also have experts who can teach practical skills like coding or a musical instrument like the guitar. It's a great way for your child to explore a new hobby or passion.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's goals. Some students have a one-off lesson to prepare for a specific test, while others have regular weekly sessions to build their understanding over a term. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. Our tutors provide regular feedback on how your child is getting on. We encourage open communication, so you can always message your tutor to discuss progress and ensure the lessons are meeting your child's needs.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
We know that family life can be busy. You can easily manage your schedule through your Tutorful account. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice if you need to change a lesson time to avoid being charged.
