Amirhossein S
Amir has been and continues to be fantastic.In a very short period of time (weeks) he has taken my son up a grade/grade and a half in both maths and computer science. We shall most definitely be continuing with Amir up to my son’s A levels and now fully expect him to achieve As in both. My son even said the other day that if he had had Amir a year ago, he could have even studied further maths. The confidence Amir has given my son back is quite something. I am very grateful to Amir, he is a very great tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to KEVICC. Can a tutor help them compete for places at Russell Group universities like Exeter or Bristol?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for many parents we work with. Our tutors, many of whom are Russell Group graduates themselves, specialise in helping students build the deep subject knowledge and exam technique needed to achieve the top A-Level grades. They can help your child build a strong application that stands out, regardless of the school they attend.
Are there tutors who understand the local school system around Totnes and the South Hams?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience supporting students from a wide range of schools, including comprehensives and grammar schools across Devon. They understand the different pressures and can tailor their approach to help your child build confidence and close any knowledge gaps, ensuring they feel fully prepared for their exams.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to find the perfect match for your child, and we understand that chemistry is important. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for all core academic subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for learning a musical instrument like the guitar, mastering a new language, or even developing skills like coding and public speaking.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
Every tutor has a detailed profile with a video, student reviews from parents like you, and information about their experience. You can filter by subject and level to narrow down your search. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. It helps you get a feel for their approach and find the best fit.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices typically start from around £20 per hour and vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level. There are no hidden fees, so you can easily find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview them to assess their teaching skills and expertise. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
Can a tutor help if my child's confidence is low?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. A one-to-one setting provides a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be shy about in class. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, tutors help them see their own progress, which is a fantastic confidence booster.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and resources. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home, with all their notes saved in one place.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's needs. Most families start with one session a week to build momentum. You can easily discuss this with your chosen tutor, and they can recommend a schedule that will best help your child achieve their goals. You can change the frequency at any time.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistent, tailored support makes a real difference. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and engagement after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve their grades by at least one level.
How many people have used Tutorful?
You're in good company! Over 200,000 happy students have used Tutorful to achieve their learning goals. We're proud to have over 4,100 customer reviews from parents like you, with an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars.
