Katie W
My daughter has had Katie for nearly a term now and she is loving the sessions. She is inspired by Katies teaching of A-level maths and always looks forward to them. Katie is reliable, friendly, responsive to messages and makes her lessons great fun as well as informative, getting my daughter A-level exam ready. We are really glad we found her and would recommend. Her teaching has already had an impact on my daughter's test results and confidence.

Chinazaekpele J
She is absolutely amazing!! I am a mature student studying A levels; moving from a design background into science is a huge leap, Chinaze has been nothing but supportive and helpful. Her knowledge is impressive and she’s extremely flexible with lessons. Every time I’ve had a session with her, I’ve left feeling very confident. I’m that annoying student who is always asking why and she always has an answer, even if it’s not relevant to the subject. Really grateful to have found her :)

Chris P
Chris is a really patient and knowledgeable A-Level Chemistry tutor. Having been through quitea few chemistry tutors on tutorful before, I settled with Chris as Ifound his style of teaching really worked with me compared to other tutors. Chris' style for me is mainly to focus on understanding the key concepts to ensure I can apply these ideas to the exam effectively, and it is definetely working and I am gaining a lot of confidence very quickly. Would highly recommend.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a top northern university like Lancaster or Manchester. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are graduates from these top universities themselves and have extensive experience helping students with A-Level subjects and the UCAS application process. They can provide the subject-specific support needed to achieve the grades required for entry.
We want to secure a place at a competitive sixth form. Can we find a tutor experienced with this?
Yes. You can find tutors who specialise in preparing students for GCSEs to help them achieve the high grades often needed for entry into popular sixth forms. They can focus on exam technique, revision strategies, and filling any knowledge gaps to build your child's confidence.
How do I find the right online tutor for my child in Thornton?
It's easy. You can search by subject and level, then filter the results. Each tutor has a detailed profile with a video, student reviews, and their qualifications, so you can get a real sense of who they are. You can even message them for free before booking to make sure it’s a good fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right connection is. 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 feel more confident for their exams?
Confidence comes from feeling prepared. A tutor provides a safe space for your child to ask questions they might not ask in class. By working through tricky topics together and practising past papers, they'll build a solid understanding that helps them walk into exams feeling capable and calm.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are ID and background-checked. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, starting from around £20 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
It’s for both! While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects from 11+ to degree level, we also have experts who can teach practical skills like coding, learning a new language, or playing a musical instrument like the guitar or piano.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it feel just like you're in the same room. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
My child is already doing well. Can tutoring still help them?
Definitely. Tutoring isn't just for catching up; it's also for getting ahead. For a child who is already achieving good grades, a tutor can help them explore topics in greater depth and master the advanced skills needed to turn a B into an A or an A*.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session a week is ideal for consistent progress, but the frequency is completely up to you. You can arrange a schedule that fits your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your tutor.
Why should I choose Tutorful?
We're trusted by thousands of families across the UK. With over 4,100 customer reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, and over 200,000 happy students, we focus on matching your child with a tutor who can provide truly personalised, one-to-one support to help them achieve their goals.
