I have a Bachelors in Mathematics from Bristol, A*s at GCSE and A-Level Maths, and A-Level Further Maths, as well as plenty of experience with teaching online - the online interface on Tutorful is outstanding and my students have achieved top marks through it (see reviews). Tutoring for me is all about patience and practice.

Hi, I'm Kurumi! :)I'm a native Japanese tutor who is originally from Hokkaido, the north island of Japan but currently live in Bristol.

Amir, has been helping my son to prepare for advance higher stats. He has been very patient, very fast on responses and my son likes to study with him. It has been reflected so far on higher predicted grade, which we are very pleased with. I recommend Amir to any student that considers help to understand the concept or to improve the grades. Thanks you, Amir, for your time, highly appreciated. My son is looking forward to next lesson with you! Lena

I’ve had a really great experience with my maths tutor. They explain topics clearly and break things down in a way that’s easy to understand, even when the topic feels difficult at first. They’re patient, supportive, and always make sure I understand before moving on. Thanks to their help, my confidence in maths has improved a lot and I feel more comfortable tackling problems on my own. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking to improve their maths skills.

Ameela R
We're really pleased with the good progress my daughter made in English while preparing for her 11+ exam. It's been lovely to see her skills and confidence grow steadily.
A big part of that is thanks to Ameela’s calm and supportive approach. She was always patient, explained things clearly, and created a really positive environment for learning. Her lessons were well-structured and made the whole process feel much more manageable.
She's a very kind and dedicated teacher, and we're truly grateful for all her help during this important time. Thank you so much!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Thornbury and are aiming for a Gloucestershire grammar school. Can you help with the 11+?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation, including the specific requirements for Gloucestershire entrance exams. They can help your child build confidence in Maths, English, verbal and non-verbal reasoning to give them the best possible chance of success.
My child attends The Castle School and wants to apply to the University of Bristol. Can tutors help with specific A-Level goals?
Definitely. Our A-Level tutors are brilliant at helping students secure the top grades needed for competitive courses at Russell Group universities like Bristol. They can provide targeted support with exam technique, subject knowledge, and building the independent study skills needed to thrive at university.
How do I choose the best tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience, then watch their short introduction videos and read reviews from other parents. We always recommend sending a message to a few tutors first to chat about your child's goals before booking.
How much do tutors in Thornbury cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £50 depending on their experience and subject level. You can easily filter by price to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing work, and a messaging function. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform must pass a background check before they can teach. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted to teach with us.
What happens if my child doesn't click 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.
Can tutoring help my child if they've lost their confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. The one-to-one attention from a supportive tutor creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Rebuilding that self-belief can make a huge difference to their results.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without being overwhelming. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like Maths and English?
While Maths and English are very popular, we offer support in over 300 subjects! So whether your child needs help with A-Level Chemistry, wants to learn to code in Python, or even take up the guitar, we have a specialist tutor who can help.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is ideal for steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to an exam, or less frequent sessions for general support. You can arrange this directly with your tutor.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors are great at keeping you in the loop. You can message them at any time, and they will often provide feedback on what was covered in the lesson and how your child is getting on. Seeing your child's confidence and test scores improve is the best indicator!
