Online Computer Science National 5 Tutors
Computer Science can feel like a completely different language. When your child says they’re stuck, it’s hard to know how to help, especially when the subject has changed so much since you were at school. Even when you cannot help with the subject, you can still help them.
You don't have to become a coding expert overnight. Our Tutor Finder asks a few simple questions about your child and what they need. We then match them with a specialist Computer Science tutor who we believe is the right fit for them.

A good tutor makes sure all lessons are aligned with the SQA specification for National 5. This ensures what they learn is directly relevant, helping them prepare for what's ahead, whether that's Higher Computer Science or future career choices.

Arabi A
experienced Computer Science tutor
Hi, I'm Arabi, a tutor with over four years of experience helping students reach their potential. I studied Electronic Engineering at King's College London and took A-Level English Literature, so I'm well-placed to support students across both scientific and humanities subjects.What sets my approach apart is that I never guess where a student needs help - I find out. Every new student starts with a past paper under exam conditions, and from there, I dig into the results to understand where marks are slipping, whether that's a gap in topic knowledge, weak exam technique, poor timing, or nerves....

Faris A
Faris helped my son with his A level Computer Science and he explained the topics very clearly to him and went out of his way to prepare extra questions and work. My son got on very well with him and as a direct result, after a while of his lessons with Faris, his grade went up from a previous E grade to achieving a B grade in his summer exams which was an amazing achievement thanks to Faris.

Thomas A
My son was being predicted a grade 3 in computer science after missing the first 6 months of the course in year 10 as he changed schools. Not only did Tom catch up the missing coursework, he also gave him back his confidence when his school had basically written him off. In his mocks his grades shot up to a 6 and 7 and he got “most improved student”. We are currently waiting for GCSE results but cannot recommend Tom enough, a genuinely nice guy and a fab teacher.
