Reema S
Enthusiastic A level Economics Teacher
I have over ten years of teaching experience and am adept at adapting lessons to suit a variety of learning abilities. I have also marked and examined papers for the WJEC and so exam technique and feedback are key tools that I use in every lesson, to propel students into higher band marks.My approach to tutoring is the same as for learning: appreciate the big picture, understand why the subject matter is important and then dive into the detail. Once you appreciate the ‘why’, it makes the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ in Economics so much more enjoyable. I can help you join the dots, synthesise and really ...

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!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Natalie G
Highly Recommended Maths Tutor!
Natalie is a fantastic tutor and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. She tailors every lesson to my daughter’s individual needs, and as a visual learner, my daughter finds her sessions engaging, fun, and easy to understand. Natalie prepares each lesson beautifully and always comes with creative ways to explain even the trickiest concepts.
We’ve used tutors for all three of our children over the years, and only Natalie and one other tutor have provided such thoughtful, detailed feedback after every session — something we find extremely valuable.
It’s genuinely hard to find a maths tutor who makes lessons enjoyable, but Natalie does exactly that.
For the first time ever, my daughter actually looks forward to her maths sessions! Her confidence has grown, and so have her skills.
I highly recommend Natalie to any child who struggles with maths or simply wants to strengthen their abilities. Thank you, Natalie, for your dedication and wonderful teaching approach!

Ricarda M
My daughter has been using Ricarda for A Level German tuition for the past couple of months. My daughter's test grades have already gone up and her teacher has commented on the progress she has made over the last couple of months. Ricarda is very personable, reliable and responsive. She listens, and quickly understood the areas my daughter needs to work on. She is a great tutor and I'm very happy that I chose her to support my daughter. I would highly recommend Ricarda!

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.
