Jamie D
I started working with Jamie 4 months ago when I was struggling with A-Level photography. He is incredibly supportive and clear in aspects that I could improve on to meet exam criteria and his dedication towards helping me to improve is extremely evident. I have weekly sessions with Jamie and he has always been very flexible. These weekly sessions have always been tailored to my needs and what I feel will benefit me the most. His feedback is always specific and his guidance has allowed me to secure a top grade in my January mocks. I would highly recommend Jamie to anyone needing support or wanting to push their coursework further.

Lawrence C
After trying several tutors for A-Level Chemistry, I can say for certain Lawrence has been my favourite as he is patient and helps you understand the topic in full to further consolidate knowledge. I’ve had him for months and would definitely say he’s helped me gain more confidence in chemistry. Would recommend him to anyone trying to improve their Chemistry grades.

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.
