Holly C
Excellent motivation coach and psychology tutor
I have been teaching psychology for over ten years and I genuinely love helping young people unlock their potential. Tutoring gives me the chance to work more closely with students, building their confidence and showing them that with the right strategies, they can achieve more than they thought possible. I didn’t always find school easy myself, so it’s become my mission to help students feel at ease, develop a growth mindset, and recognise their own worth. Seeing students grow in confidence is what drives me.In lessons, I like to keep things structured but relaxed. A typical session might sta...

Dania’s expertises in many fields especially in medicine and medicine interviews, has gave my son a great insight and an advantage to tackle difficult scenarios and questions which these interviews contain. Furthermore the structure of these lessons create a bigger impact on students mainly through her critical Analytical feedback of mock interviews during the lesson. Overall Dania's lessons with her kind soul and teaching makes me heavily recommend her as a 5 star tutur.

Dr Eddison L
I cannot thank Edd enough for the support he gave me throughout my dissertation. His feedback was consistently clear, detailed, and incredibly constructive, helping me to strengthen both my academic writing and overall structure. Edd took the time to explain areas for improvement in a way that was encouraging and easy to understand, which really boosted my confidence. His guidance made a huge difference to the quality of my work, and I genuinely feel I could not have achieved the same outcome without his help. I would highly recommend Edd to anyone needing academic support — his knowledge, professionalism, and dedication are outstanding. Best regards Neliy

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're preparing for the 11+ for a Torbay grammar school. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have specific experience helping children with the requirements for grammar schools like Torquay Boys', Torquay Girls', and Churston Ferrers. You can filter your search for 11+ specialists and read their profiles to find the perfect fit for your child.
My child is hoping to study at the University of Exeter. Can a tutor help with their A-Levels?
Definitely. Our A-Level tutors are experts in their subjects and can provide targeted support to help your child secure the grades they need for competitive universities. They can help with everything from understanding complex topics and revising effectively to perfecting exam technique.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience and qualifications. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child connects with.
How much do tutors in Torbay cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, the subject, and the level of study. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must have a valid DBS check or equivalent background check before they can teach on our platform. We also personally interview every tutor and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, ensuring the highest quality.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors can break down tricky topics and celebrate small wins, which builds self-belief that extends far beyond a single subject.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents. It's a dynamic and engaging way to learn from the comfort of your own home, with no travel required.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
It's for so much more! While we have experts for core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have tutors who can teach musical instruments like guitar, coding languages like Python, or even help with university application statements. It's about supporting your child's passions as well as their studies.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Sessions are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. Your tutor will provide feedback after each session, and you can communicate with them through our messaging system at any time. This partnership ensures you're always kept in the loop about your child's progress and how they are finding the lessons.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today. Simply search for your subject, filter the results, and message tutors directly. Many tutors respond within a few hours, and you could have your first lesson booked for this week.
