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
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE grades needed for Truro and Penwith College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students prepare for their GCSEs. They can focus on specific subjects, work on exam technique, and build your child's confidence to help them secure the grades they need for their desired college courses.
My child is hoping to study at Falmouth University. Can a tutor support their A-Levels?
Yes. We have a huge range of experienced A-Level tutors who are specialists in their subjects. They can provide in-depth support to help your child achieve the grades required for competitive university courses at places like Falmouth or Exeter's Penryn campus.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a session. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child connects with.
How much do tutors in Truro cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £50 depending on their experience and the subject level. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity and background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
How can an online tutor help my child build confidence?
The one-to-one environment of online tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of being judged by their classmates. This personalised attention helps them master tricky topics, leading to small wins that build up into real, lasting confidence.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Is it just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have experts who teach hobbies and practical skills. Your child can learn anything from playing the guitar and speaking Spanish to coding in Python.
How long are the sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which we find works best for maintaining focus. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration span.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress, and you'll often see the results in their growing confidence and improved school reports.
Can we get help with 11+ or university applications?
Yes, we have many tutors who specialise in exam preparation for the 11+ and other entrance exams. We also have tutors who can provide expert guidance on university applications, including personal statement writing and interview practice.
