The Right Support for Your Child, Right Here in Whickham
We believe the best learning happens when a tutor truly understands your child. That's why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring you can choose from the very best, background-checked specialists from across the UK. Your chosen tutor will take the time to get to know your child's strengths and where they need a bit more help, creating a supportive partnership that builds their confidence. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific goals. If they're struggling to get their head around algebra, their tutor will find a new way to explain it. If they need to analyse quotes from 'Macbeth' for their GCSE English exam, the session will focus entirely on that. This targeted approach is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and we can help boost your child's GCSE results by up to two grades. Finding the right support shouldn't add to your busy schedule. With Tutorful, you can connect with the perfect tutor in minutes and schedule online lessons at times that suit your family. All your child needs is a laptop and an internet connection to start learning from the comfort of your home in Whickham.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Whickham School and aiming for top GCSE grades. Can a tutor help with this specific goal?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students achieve high grades at GCSE. They can provide targeted support to plug any knowledge gaps, build exam technique, and boost your child's confidence to help them secure the results needed for competitive A-Level subjects.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for an application to a competitive university like Durham or Newcastle?
Yes. We have many tutors who are experienced in university preparation. They can help with A-Level subject mastery, personal statement writing, and developing the independent study skills that are crucial for success at top universities.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Whickham?
It's simple. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in your child's subject and level. You can read their profiles, check reviews from other parents, and even send them a message before booking to make sure they're the perfect fit for your child's personality and learning style.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. 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 do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we verify their ID and qualifications. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an excellent, affordable tutor who fits your budget.
How can online tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in a big class. This personalised attention helps them master topics they find tricky, and as their understanding grows, so does their confidence in their own abilities.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
It's for so much more! While we have experts for everything from Primary to A-Level subjects, you can also find tutors for hobbies and professional skills like learning to play the guitar, coding in Python, or even public speaking.
What happens in an online lesson?
Our online classroom is designed for interactive learning. Your child can speak with their tutor using video chat, work through problems on the interactive whiteboard, and share files and resources. It's a focused, engaging, and effective way to learn.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which we find is perfect for covering a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Can I find tutors for specific levels like GCSEs or A-Levels?
Yes, of course. We have a huge range of specialist tutors for all key stages, including 11+, GCSEs, and A-Levels. You can easily filter your search to find a tutor with proven experience in the exact qualification your child is working towards.
How quickly can we get started with a tutor?
You can get started very quickly. Once you find a tutor you like, you can send them a message to arrange your first lesson. Many of our 200,000+ happy students have been able to book their first session within 24 hours.
