Why Strong Grades Are So Important for Your Child's Next Steps
Good grades, especially in core subjects, are more than just letters on a certificate; they are the keys that unlock doors to your child's future. Strong GCSE results are essential for getting into the right A-Level courses, which in turn pave the way for a strong university application. Whether it's mastering algebra to pursue the sciences or analysing quotes in 'Macbeth' for an English Literature course, these skills build a solid foundation. This academic confidence is crucial when aiming for respected Welsh universities and, ultimately, a rewarding career.

Personalised Tutoring That Builds Confidence and Grades
The right tutor does more than just teach a subject; they get to know your child as an individual. We understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, which is why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, and all are background-checked. They'll take the time to understand how your child learns best, creating a supportive space where asking questions feels easy. This personal connection is often the key to helping your child feel confident in their abilities again. Every one-to-one lesson is built entirely around your child's needs. If they’re finding a particular topic in GCSE Chemistry tricky, their tutor can spend the whole session working through it until it clicks. This tailored approach is why 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, we can even help boost their results by up to two grades, giving them a real advantage.

Emma is simply fantastic! After just 4 lessons, my son, who is in primary school, was admired by his teachers; his English grammar improved significantly. My son feels very comfortable with her teaching style, and she makes learning much easier for him. I highly recommend her!

Errol K
Errol supported me with my nursing dissertation.
I am a student who achieved good grades throughout my course, but unfortunately, in my 3rd year. This slipped because I didn't understand how to analyse my writing critically. Errol used kindness and his analytical mind to support me. Errol supported my development, helped me become a more critical practitioner, and improved my writing structure. Errol was very flexible, kind and patient, and I will be internally grateful. If you're thinking about booking with Errol, I would 100% recommend him to anyone

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study A-Levels at NPTC Group. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE grades?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the specific GCSE grades needed for their desired college courses. They can focus on the exact topics and exam techniques required to help your child meet the entry requirements for places like NPTC Group or Ysgol Maesydderwen.
We're hoping for a place at Swansea or Cardiff University. Can tutoring help with that long-term goal?
Yes, it's a great way to build a strong foundation. While we help with current studies, the skills your child develops—from subject knowledge to exam confidence—are crucial for achieving the A-Level predictions needed for competitive university applications to places like Swansea and Cardiff.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
It's simple. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. Finding the right personality match is just as important as finding the right subject expert.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 much does online tutoring cost in Ystradgynlais?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £25 to £45 depending on their experience and the subject level. You can see the price clearly on every tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every 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 sure you're choosing from the best.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which can make a huge difference to your child's self-esteem and attitude towards a subject.
Can a tutor focus specifically on GCSE exam technique?
Definitely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students with more than just the subject content. They can work on exam strategies, time management skills, and how to structure answers to gain maximum marks, which is often crucial for achieving top grades.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's just like being in the same room. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
What if our family schedule is really busy?
That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You're not limited to tutors in your immediate area, so you have a much wider choice of available times. You can easily find a tutor who can schedule lessons to fit around school, clubs, and family commitments.
How quickly will we see an improvement in our child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our experience shows that consistent support makes a real impact. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and a more positive attitude towards their studies.
Is it just for core school subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we have experts in all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also offer tutoring in a wide range of other areas. You can find tutors for musical instruments like guitar or piano, languages, and even practical skills like coding.
