Somtoo E
We are incredibly grateful for your support. When my daughter began her first semester, first year accounting modules, she was completely lost. Your clear explanations, patience, and ability to simplify complex concepts helped her gain confidence quickly.
Thanks to your exceptional teaching, she went from struggling to achieving a distinction in a very short time. We truly appreciate the difference you’ve made.

Abigail M
Abi, has tutoring our daughter for GCSE science Since September. Our daughters mock exam results have drastically improved and she is far more confident in this subject. Abi is knowledgeable, patient and is able to have fun with something our child finds very difficult. She has found the best way to support her learning needs so our daughter gets the most from the session. Would highly recommend. Thanks Abi

Francis J
Francis has been supporting my son with GCSE Physics and has made a real difference to both his understanding and confidence. Concepts that previously felt difficult are now explained clearly and patiently, and lessons are always well structured and engaging.
Francis is friendly, approachable, and puts my son at ease straight away, which has really helped build confidence and motivation. My son feels much more confident going into his GCSE preparation, and it’s been great to see his progress and growing interest in the subject.I also love that after each lesson I receive a clear summary from Francis outlining what they’ve covered, which is really helpful.

Subham M
Subham is an excellent maths and science tutor. He does not make maths feel intimidating; instead, he focuses on helping students understand the fundamentals properly, which builds confidence and makes problem-solving much easier. He explains concepts clearly and uses strong, practical examples to break down mathematical and scientific problems. This approach greatly supports understanding, and my daughter responds very well to his teaching style and enjoys learning with him.

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.
