Why Strong Grades Open Doors for Your Child
Strong results in core subjects like Maths, English and Science aren't just about passing exams; they're about building skills for life. The ability to analyse a quote in 'Macbeth' or solve a tricky algebra problem develops the critical thinking that universities and employers look for. These qualifications are the foundation for strong A-Level applications and create a smoother path to respected universities like Newcastle or Northumbria, opening up a world of career opportunities for your child.

One-to-one Tutoring That's Built Around Your Child
The right tutor does more than just teach a subject; they get to know your child as an individual. They'll take the time to understand how your child learns best, what they find tricky, and where they need a confidence boost. We take the stress out of finding that perfect match by connecting you with the best, background-checked tutors from across the UK. In fact, we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can feel confident you're choosing from the best. Every online lesson is tailored completely to your child's needs. If they're struggling to get their head around chemical equations for their Chemistry GCSE, their tutor can spend the entire session working through it with them until it clicks. This focused, personal support is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade, with many improving their GCSE results by up to two grades. Finding time for extra support shouldn't be another thing to worry about. With online tutoring, there are no extra journeys across town after a long school day. You can find a tutor who fits around your family's schedule, whether it's on a weekday evening or a weekend morning. It's flexible, convenient support that works for you.

Amirhossein S
Amir has been and continues to be fantastic.In a very short period of time (weeks) he has taken my son up a grade/grade and a half in both maths and computer science. We shall most definitely be continuing with Amir up to my son’s A levels and now fully expect him to achieve As in both. My son even said the other day that if he had had Amir a year ago, he could have even studied further maths. The confidence Amir has given my son back is quite something. I am very grateful to Amir, he is a very great tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at a competitive Newcastle sixth form. Can a tutor help my child get the necessary GCSE grades?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Throckley come to us. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can help your child focus on the specific areas they need to improve, build their exam technique, and grow their confidence to secure the grades they need for their chosen A-Level path.
My child hopes to study at Newcastle or Northumbria University. Can a tutor help with their A-Levels and application?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in A-Level subjects and have experience helping students prepare for university. They can provide in-depth subject support and also help with personal statements and application strategy, giving your child the best possible chance of securing a place.
How do I find the right tutor for my child?
It's simple. You can use our search filters to find tutors based on subject, level, and price. You can also read detailed profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to find the one who is the best fit for your child's personality and learning style.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key to success, which is why we offer 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 if they've lost their confidence?
Confidence is just as important as knowledge. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-esteem, which often has a positive impact across all their subjects.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and the subject level. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.
Are the tutors properly vetted?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has to pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your own home.
Can tutoring help my child with specific exam techniques for their GCSEs?
Definitely. A great tutor doesn't just teach the subject content; they teach your child how to approach the exam. This includes time management, how to understand what a question is really asking, and how to structure answers to get the most marks.
Is it just for core subjects like Maths and English, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects, we also have experts who can teach practical and creative skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor for it here.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which most parents and students find works perfectly. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor if your child needs a shorter or longer session.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors are able to respond to messages within a few hours. Once you've found a tutor you like and agreed on a time, you can book your first lesson right away.
