I have been tutoring for 8 years, and teaching at my university for the last 8, where I am responsible for taking lectures, seminars and setting exams.

Edward has helped me a lot with understanding A level Chemistry more. Thanks to his guidance and patience I've had an easier time going through past papers and understanding concepts I didn't understand before. Not only that, but he has been a huge help with supporting me by providing a UCAS reference. Most definitely recommended, thank you.

Hanan R
Hanan has been an amazing tutor for my daughter over the past few months. She was really struggling with science before, but with Hanan’s support her confidence and understanding have improved so much, and her results are now noticeably better. Hanan is incredibly patient, passionate, and explains things in a clear way that actually makes sense. She genuinely cares about her students and always goes the extra mile to make sure they understand, not just memorise. I couldn’t recommend her enough. she’s a fantastic teacher!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is applying to competitive universities like Queen Mary and UCL. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with university applications. They can help your child develop the higher-level critical thinking skills these institutions look for, and provide support with personal statements and interview practice to help them shine.
We're in Tower Hamlets. Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum at local sixth forms?
While our tutors are based across the UK, many are experienced with the main exam boards (like AQA, Edexcel, OCR) used by schools and colleges everywhere, including in Tower Hamlets. You can view each tutor's profile to see their specific experience and even message them to ask about the curriculum before booking.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can filter tutors by subject and level, then read their profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and trustworthy?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked with an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every applicant and are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply. You can feel confident your child is in safe hands.
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 £15 per hour, allowing you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits your family's budget.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It’s a collaborative space where your child can work directly with their tutor on everything from analysing texts to solving tricky maths problems.
My child's confidence is low. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a patient, encouraging environment where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. This personalised support is fantastic for building self-esteem.
What if we don't like the first tutor we try?
We want you to be completely happy. With 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.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours, and you could have your first lesson booked for as early as today. It's a simple way to get support right when your child needs it.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with skills like public speaking or music?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning an instrument like the guitar, to practical skills like coding, public speaking, and university interview preparation.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, and many families find it even more effective. Our interactive online classroom has all the tools needed for a great lesson, and it saves you travel time. Plus, you have access to the best tutors from across the UK, not just those who live nearby.
How can I track my child's progress?
The best way is to chat with your child's tutor. They can provide regular feedback on how things are going, what they've been working on, and what the plan is for future lessons. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
