abdul M
Abdul has been an excellent tutor for my child. He is patient, reliable, and explains concepts clearly in a way that actually makes them easy to understand. My child has become more confident in the subject and their understanding has improved noticeably since starting tuition with him.
Abdul is always well-prepared, professional, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. He takes the time to identify weaknesses and works through them step by step, rather than rushing through lessons. Communication has also been very good, and he is always happy to give feedback or advice.
I would highly recommend Abdul to any parent looking for a dedicated and effective tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to Palmer's College. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for entry into specific colleges. They can focus on strengthening the GCSE grades your child needs for their chosen courses at Palmer's, work on subject-specific knowledge, and build their confidence for the transition to post-16 study.
We're worried about our child's chances of getting into a good university. How can a tutor help?
Our online tutors can provide crucial support. By helping your child achieve the best possible GCSE and A-Level grades, they directly strengthen their university application. Tutors can also help with personal statements and developing the independent study skills that universities value, giving your child a competitive edge no matter where they apply.
How do I pick the right tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents just like you. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't feel it's the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How can tutoring help my child improve their GCSE grades?
A personal tutor can make a huge impact on GCSE results. They can identify and fill any gaps in your child's knowledge, work on exam technique, and build their confidence. In fact, our data shows we can help students improve their final GCSE grade by up to two grades.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors undergo a background check. We also have a rigorous selection process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How much does online tutoring in Thurrock cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an excellent, affordable tutor who fits your budget.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple and easy to use. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for solving problems together, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to learning. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor celebrates small wins and helps them see their own progress, which can transform how they feel about a subject.
Is tutoring just for core academic subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for all school subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get ahead with coding in Python, or learn a new language, we have expert tutors who can help them explore their passions.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor to suit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson per week is ideal for making steady progress. This allows time to build on what was learned in the previous session. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
