Callum A
Our son had a 15-minute introductory session with Callum focusing specifically on Transformations in Coordinate Geometry. We were genuinely impressed.
Callum explained rotations, reflections and translations in a clear, logical way, checked our son’s reasoning, and quickly identified the gaps in his understanding.
We’re now booking full sessions and feel confident that we’ve chosen a truly excellent maths tutor.

Rai S
Incredible! It’s fair to say that science was never one of my sons favourite subjects. My son has only had a few lessons with Rai so far but we are making it regular to support his GCSE exams.
Rai’s sessions are full of energy and my son has so much more confidence and loves the way Rai explains things. He has already learnt so much!
I would absolutely recommend!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE grades needed for competitive A-Levels at Thirsk School & Sixth Form College?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades they need for their next steps. They can focus on specific GCSE topics, improve exam technique, and build confidence to help your child achieve the results required for their chosen A-Level courses.
My child is hoping to apply to a university like Durham or York. Can tutors help with that?
Definitely. Many of our A-Level tutors are experienced in helping students with university applications. They can provide subject-specific support to help your child achieve the top grades needed for entry to competitive universities, and some can also offer guidance on personal statements.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Thirsk?
You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in your child's subject and level. Watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message to discuss your child's goals. It's all about finding someone your child clicks with.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, subject, and level of study. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
Are your tutors properly vetted?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS certificate or be registered with the update service. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply to join us.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and working through problems together, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
Confidence often grows from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As their tutor helps them overcome challenges and they start to see their own progress, their self-belief in the subject naturally improves.
Is this just for school subjects like Maths and English, or can my child learn other things?
While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects from Primary up to degree level, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for learning a musical instrument, coding, new languages, or even hobbies and personal development.
How many lessons a week do you recommend?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point. This provides consistency and gives your child time to practise what they've learned between sessions. You can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor based on your child's specific goals.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at a different pace, but the focused, one-to-one support of tutoring often leads to progress quite quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
It's easy. You can manage your lessons through your Tutorful account. We have a 24-hour cancellation policy, so as long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can reschedule the session for a more convenient time without any charge.
