Daniel P
Daniel kindly came in at the last minute to help my son understand what was needed for his EAPI (part of A level PE coursework). Daniel was really responsive, and gave great advice in a form my son understood how to implement. My son just did his EAPI today and the feedback from his teacher/examiner is that he did very well. I am confident that Daniel's intervention has resulted in my son getting a higher grade than he would have otherwise.

Richard S
Richard is an excellent tutor with great advice. Instead of telling me the answer he allows me to independently think and gives small clues on how to get to the answer. He also provided me with great key points and acronyms that help me remember essay structure as well as giving me external resources which contain useful information for my exam.

Jack R
We’ve had a fantastic experience with Jack as a maths tutor - so far my daughter had three sessions with him. Jack is an excellent communicator and explains concepts clearly and step-by-step, making even the all topics feel manageable. His lessons are well-structured and thoughtfully tailored to my daughter’s needs (we aim for confidence in class and confident GCSE mark).
Jack is also incredibly friendly and positive, which creates a really encouraging learning environment - one of my key requirements. My daughter genuinely enjoys her lessons with him and is already feeling much more confident in her maths curriculum. Highly recommended!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Wivenhoe and are aiming for a Colchester grammar school. Can a tutor help with the 11+?
Yes, absolutely. We have many experienced tutors who specialise in 11+ preparation. They can create a tailored plan for your child, focusing on specific areas like verbal and non-verbal reasoning, Maths, and English to help them build confidence and feel ready for the exam.
My child is thinking about the University of Essex. Can a tutor help with their A-Levels?
Definitely. Our A-Level tutors can provide targeted support to help your child achieve the grades they need for their university application. They can help with everything from understanding complex topics to exam technique and revision strategies, all geared towards their specific goals.
How do I find the right tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in the right subject and level for your child. It's a great idea to read their profiles, check their reviews from other parents, and send a message to a few to find the best fit before booking.
How do you make sure tutors are safe to work with children?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is identity and background-checked before they can join our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe hands.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right connection is key to learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level, so you can easily find a highly-rated, experienced tutor who fits your family's budget.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects from primary school to degree level, we also have experts who can teach practical skills and hobbies. You can find tutors for everything from learning guitar and piano to coding in Python.
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to learning. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor will celebrate small wins and adapt their teaching style, which helps your child feel understood and capable.
What does a typical online lesson look like?
Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and engaging. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for drawing and sharing notes, and the ability to upload documents. It’s a space where your child and their tutor can work through problems together, just as they would in person.
How effective is online tutoring?
It's very effective! With over 200,000 happy students and a 4.6-star rating from thousands of reviews, we see the amazing results every day. 90% of students improve by at least one grade because the one-to-one focus allows for learning that is completely tailored to your child's needs.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson per week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent sessions during exam periods or less frequent ones for general support – it’s whatever works best for your child and your schedule.
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 directly from their profile to ask any questions and arrange your first lesson. Many tutors can start within a day or two.
