Personalised Support to Help Your Child Stand Out
The right tutor does more than just teach a subject; they build a partnership with your child. We handpick the best tutors from across the UK, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're connecting with an expert. They’ll take the time to understand how your child learns, what they find difficult, and what their goals are, creating a supportive space where it’s safe to ask questions. Every lesson is built around your child's exact needs. If they're struggling with a specific part of the GCSE Chemistry syllabus or need to refine their essay technique for A-Level History, their tutor can create a plan to target those areas. This focused attention is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and we can help your child improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades – a huge advantage when applying for competitive sixth form places. Finding that support shouldn't add to your family's stress. With our online platform, you can find a background-checked tutor and schedule lessons at times that fit around school, clubs, and family life.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
The local schools are very competitive. Can a tutor help my child meet the high entry requirements for sixth form?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for parents in Whitley Bay. Our tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades they need for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on specific GCSE topics, improve exam technique, and build the confidence your child needs to perform their best.
My child hopes to apply to a Russell Group university like Newcastle or Durham. Can we find a tutor with experience in this?
Yes, many of our tutors are graduates from top universities, including those in the Russell Group. They have first-hand experience with the application process and the academic standards required. They can provide invaluable support for A-Levels and help your child prepare a strong university application.
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 needs before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child connects with.
How much do tutors in Whitley Bay cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £50 depending on their experience and subject level. You can filter by price to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and file sharing. Your child just needs a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection. It’s a convenient and effective way to learn from home.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that finding the right fit is crucial. 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.
Can tutoring help if my child is losing confidence?
Definitely. A one-to-one tutor can create a supportive, encouraging environment where your child feels comfortable asking questions they might not ask in a busy classroom. Celebrating small wins and overcoming challenges together is a fantastic way to rebuild their self-belief.
Is this 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 offer support for a huge range of other skills. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning to play the guitar or piano, to coding in Python, to preparing for a music theory exam.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and a more positive attitude towards their studies.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is a great starting point. This allows for consistent progress without feeling overwhelming. You can easily discuss and agree on the best schedule with your chosen tutor.
How do I know if Tutorful is trusted by other parents?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students on their learning journey. We have a rating of 4.6 stars from over 4,100 customer reviews, so you can see what other parents just like you have to say about their experience.
