Daniel P
Daniel kindly came in at the last minute to help my son understand what was needed for his EAPI (part of A level PE coursework). Daniel was really responsive, and gave great advice in a form my son understood how to implement. My son just did his EAPI today and the feedback from his teacher/examiner is that he did very well. I am confident that Daniel's intervention has resulted in my son getting a higher grade than he would have otherwise.

Richard S
Richard is an excellent tutor with great advice. Instead of telling me the answer he allows me to independently think and gives small clues on how to get to the answer. He also provided me with great key points and acronyms that help me remember essay structure as well as giving me external resources which contain useful information for my exam.

Jack R
We’ve had a fantastic experience with Jack as a maths tutor - so far my daughter had three sessions with him. Jack is an excellent communicator and explains concepts clearly and step-by-step, making even the all topics feel manageable. His lessons are well-structured and thoughtfully tailored to my daughter’s needs (we aim for confidence in class and confident GCSE mark).
Jack is also incredibly friendly and positive, which creates a really encouraging learning environment - one of my key requirements. My daughter genuinely enjoys her lessons with him and is already feeling much more confident in her maths curriculum. Highly recommended!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE grades they need for Coleg Gwent?
Absolutely. Many parents in Torfaen use Tutorful for this very reason. Our tutors can focus specifically on the GCSE curriculum, helping your child build a solid understanding of key topics in Maths, English and other subjects to meet the entry requirements for A-Level courses at local colleges and sixth forms.
My child hopes to go to a Welsh university like Cardiff or USW. Can a tutor help with their A-Levels?
Yes. Our tutors can provide fantastic support throughout your child's A-Levels. They can help deepen their subject knowledge, refine their exam technique, and build the independent study skills needed to make a successful transition to university life at places like Cardiff or the University of South Wales.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat to make sure they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning style before you book a lesson. It's all about finding the right person for them.
How much does online tutoring in Torfaen cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly shown on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right connection is key to 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 can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence?
Confidence is just as important as subject knowledge. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, patient space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief, which often makes the biggest difference to their results.
Is tutoring just for Maths and English, or can my child learn other things?
While we have many expert tutors for core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we offer support in over 300 subjects. Whether your child needs help with A-Level History, wants to learn Spanish for a holiday, or is interested in a new skill like coding or playing the guitar, we have a tutor who can help.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply. All our tutors are background-checked and we verify their ID and qualifications, so you can have complete peace of mind that your child is in safe, expert hands.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has features like a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. This means your child and their tutor can work through problems together, review homework, or analyse texts in real-time, just as they would in person.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long session per week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent lessons during busy exam periods or less frequent sessions for general support, whatever works best for your child's needs.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, and many parents find it even more effective. With online tutoring, your child gets access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live locally. Our interactive classroom and the convenience of learning from home create a focused and comfortable environment. Our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews shows how much parents and students love it.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. There's no special software to download, as all lessons take place directly in your web browser.
