Lucy H
Engaging, ambitious and supportive
Hello!! My name is Lucy and I love teaching science as I am a real life scientist! I have been published in Science journals and my work is used across the globe. I always start my lessons with asking how you are and how your week has been. I then recap the topics we covered in previous lessons with a short pop-quiz (low stakes, no pressure at all!) We then mark our quiz and then begin our new content that day. I show you how to do it, we do it together and then you have a go all by yourself! I love relating my lessons to real life current events to engage and have fun with my students. I plan...

Megan G
Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

Alisdair is a real pro. I was stuck with the SPSS analysis of my thesis and in three short sessions he explained everything in such a learner-friendly way that I could navigate around all the functions with ease. I highly recommend Alisdair for similar projects and wanted to also send a big THANK YOU all the way from Austria!

asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Torpoint and are preparing for the 11+ for Plymouth grammar schools. Can we find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ and entrance exam preparation. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in helping children build the skills and confidence needed for the exams for schools like Devonport High.
My teenager is aiming for a competitive university like Exeter or Plymouth. Can a tutor help with their A-Levels?
Definitely. Our A-Level tutors are subject experts who can provide the focused support your child needs to aim for top grades. They can help with everything from understanding complex topics to perfecting exam technique, strengthening your child's university application.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important step.
How much does tutoring in Torpoint cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has an up-to-date DBS or background check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, tutors can patiently break down topics your child finds tricky, celebrate small wins, and create a positive learning space. This personalised attention helps them feel capable and less anxious about their studies.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons happen in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a microphone, a camera, and a stable internet connection.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial. 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.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all. While we have thousands of tutors for core school subjects, we also have experts who can teach practical skills and hobbies. You can find tutors for coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, or even a new language.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. Some families use tutoring for a short-term boost before an exam, while others have regular weekly sessions to provide consistent support throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your tutor.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. Our platform has a simple 12-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 12 hours' notice, you can cancel or reschedule a lesson without being charged.
How quickly can we find a tutor?
You can start looking straight away. Many parents find and book the perfect tutor for their child within 24 hours. Tutors are usually quick to reply to messages, so you can get started as soon as you're ready.
