Peter T
Peter helped me understand the foundations of Complex Numbers in a single lesson. He clearly explained different forms, roots, De Moivre’s Theorem, and the Argand diagram. These topics had not made sense to me over the last four months at school. I already feel confident and encouraged. His teaching approach is clear and effective. I recommend him.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for Torquay Boys' or Girls' Grammar School. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have experience helping children with the specific requirements for grammar school entrance exams, including verbal and non-verbal reasoning. You can filter for tutors with this expertise on their profiles.
My child is hoping to study at the University of Exeter or Plymouth. Can a tutor help with their A-Levels?
Yes, we have many specialist A-Level tutors who can help your child secure the grades they need for their chosen university course. They can provide in-depth subject knowledge and exam technique coaching to help them feel fully prepared for their exams.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is it just for academic subjects, or can my child learn a hobby like guitar or coding?
We offer tutoring in hundreds of subjects, well beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor to help.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Torquay?
You can easily find the right tutor by using our search filters. You can search by subject, level (like 11+ or GCSE), and read detailed profiles with reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute video chat so you and your child can meet them first.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must go through a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence, not just improve grades?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Our tutors create a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. This personalised attention often helps them see their own abilities more clearly, boosting their self-esteem.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring work? What do we need?
It's simple! All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a good internet connection. Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which has a whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing tools.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions last for one hour, as this is usually the most effective length of time to cover a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor.
Can we try just one lesson to see how it goes?
Of course. You're never tied into a contract. You can book a single lesson to start with, and many tutors offer a free 15-minute video chat to introduce themselves and discuss your child's needs before you even book.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are simple and secure. After each lesson is completed, your payment is automatically processed through the platform using your saved card details. You'll never need to handle cash or make direct bank transfers.
