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 hopes to apply to a Russell Group university. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are graduates from Russell Group universities themselves and have extensive experience helping students with their applications. They can provide targeted support in specific A-Level subjects to help your child achieve the high grades needed, and some also offer guidance on personal statements and interview techniques.
We're aiming for a place at a competitive local sixth form in the Havering area. Can you help?
Yes. Our tutors can provide focused support to help your child excel in their GCSEs, which are crucial for securing a place at a popular sixth form. They can work on specific subjects, improve exam technique, and build the confidence your child needs to perform their best.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Is it just for core school subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts in core academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have tutors who can teach musical instruments like guitar, coding languages like Python, and even professional skills for adults. There's something for everyone.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable learning with.
How much does online tutoring in Upminster cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically start from £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience, the subject, and the level of study. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can work wonders for confidence. When your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement, they start to see that they *can* understand tricky topics. Celebrating small wins and mastering new skills helps build the self-belief that carries over into the classroom.
Are your tutors safe to work with?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has been through a rigorous selection process, and we only accept 1 in 8 who apply. They are all background-checked and have their ID verified to ensure you have complete peace of mind.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which we find is perfect for maintaining focus. Most families opt for one session per week per subject, but you can arrange a schedule that works for you and your child directly with your tutor. It's completely flexible.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might work through past paper questions with your child on the whiteboard, review a tricky piece of homework, or explain a new concept using diagrams. Every lesson is tailored to your child's needs.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to ask for an update. Many parents notice a difference not just in their child's grades, but also in their attitude towards a subject and their overall confidence at school.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly! Simply search for your subject, filter by availability, and message a tutor you like. Many of our tutors can schedule a first lesson within a few days, helping your child get the support they need without delay.
