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...

Mario S
My daughter had weekly maths lessons with Mario in preparation for her 11+ exams. He challenged her with numerous different papers and questions, honed in on the areas that needed extra work, and worked with her to improve her exam techniques and, crucially, timing skills. She sat the exams feeling confident, and passed both the Sutton SET and Second Stage Exam and was offered her first choice grammar school. I’d be happy to recommend Mario as a tutor.

Jon B
Jon has been an excellent geography tutor for our daughter. From the start, he took the time to understand her prior knowledge and level of understanding, which meant he could quickly gauge what she needed to focus on most.
He is kind, patient and very supportive, which has helped build her confidence. Jon clearly has a strong knowledge of the subject as well as the exam structure, and he explains topics in a very clear and accessible way. His lessons are well organised and he sets relevant homework that builds on what has been covered, helping to reinforce learning between sessions.
He has also been very accommodating when we needed to change lesson times temporarily. He is easy to contact and always responds very quickly, which makes arranging lessons straightforward.
Overall, we have been extremely pleased with the support Jon has provided and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable and encouraging geography tutor.

Aishat A
Aishat is a great tutor and we’ve been really pleased with the support she’s given my son. He has weekly GCSE Science (AQA) tutoring with her, and she has taken the time to really understand his learning habits. He’s completely comfortable with her, which has made a big difference to his confidence. Aishat is always punctual, responds promptly to messages, and keeps me well informed about my son’s progress. What’s been especially reassuring is that topics she’s covered with him have already come up in his mock exams, and he was able to answer those questions confidently. We’re very happy with the progress he’s making and would happily recommend her.

Dee A
My 14-year-old daughter had been getting very upset about Maths lessons, despite having been moved up to the highest set. She felt out of her depth and that she couldn't follow the teacher's way of explaining things. She has suspected autism and often can't think her way around something -she needs it presenting in a totally different way for it to make sense. My Maths isn't strong enough for my explanations to do the trick either - so we were all getting stressed.
Now I'm not exactly sure what Dee did as I left them to get on with it, but I do know that things have been so much calmer in our house during the few months of tuition with Dee. The crying over Maths stopped and parents' evening went really well with good feedback from the teacher. My daughter feels she can manage without a tutor now but I won't hesitate to message Dee again if any future problems arise!

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.
