We had an excellent first lesson with Stephen. He was very thorough and took the time after the lesson to explain how it had gone and how he believes we can best move forward with our son’s tutoring. Most importantly, our son found the lesson to be very enjoyable!

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is struggling with numeracy within the Curriculum for Excellence. How can an online tutor help?

We understand this is a common concern. A specialist tutor can work alongside the Curriculum for Excellence, providing targeted, one-to-one support that isn't always possible in a busy classroom. They can focus on foundational gaps and build confidence, helping your child engage more effectively with their schoolwork in Scotland.

We're worried a poor National 5 Maths result will block STEM Highers. Can a tutor focus on this?

Absolutely. This is a key reason many parents in Scotland come to us. Our tutors can create a focused plan to build the specific skills and confidence needed to secure a strong National 5 pass, keeping the pathway to essential STEM Highers and future university courses open.

Are your tutors familiar with the Scottish education system and the SQA?

Yes. While our tutors are based across the UK, many have specific experience with the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) curriculum, including Nationals and Highers. You can view each tutor's profile and experience to find the perfect match for your child's journey through the Scottish system.

How do you ensure your tutors are specialists in Dyscalculia?

We take this very seriously. Many of our tutors have specific qualifications or extensive experience in teaching students with Specific Learning Differences (SpLDs) like dyscalculia. You can use our search filters to find these specialists and read their detailed bios to understand their approach and expertise. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring a high standard.

Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a child with Dyscalculia?

For many learners, it's even more effective. Online sessions offer a focused, distraction-free environment. Tutors can use interactive digital whiteboards, visual aids, and specialist software to explain concepts in a clear, engaging way. Plus, your child learns from the comfort and security of their own home.

What if my child doesn't click with their first Dyscalculia tutor?

Finding the right personality match is essential. We have a first lesson guarantee for this reason. If you don't feel the tutor is the right fit after the first session, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.

How much does online Dyscalculia tutoring cost for a learner in Scotland?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £25 to £50, depending on their experience and level of specialism. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, allowing you to find excellent support that fits your family's budget.

What do we need to get started with online lessons?

It's simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom runs directly in your browser, so there's no complicated software to install.

How quickly can we expect to see a change in our child's confidence?

Every child is different, but the one-to-one attention often makes a difference quickly. Many parents tell us they see a shift in their child's attitude towards numbers within just a few sessions. The goal is steady progress that builds lasting confidence.

Can we schedule lessons to fit around school and other activities?

Yes, absolutely. That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You can coordinate directly with your tutor to find times that work for you, whether it's after school, on weekends, or even during school holidays.

Beyond maths, can a tutor help with numeracy in subjects like science?

Definitely. Numeracy skills are vital across the curriculum. A dyscalculia specialist can help your child with the numerical aspects of subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and even Business Studies, ensuring their challenges with numbers don't hold them back elsewhere.

How much does online Dyscalculia tutoring cost for a learner in Scotland?

Yes. We have tutors who specialise in supporting students transitioning to higher education. They can help with the advanced numerical and data-handling skills required for degree-level courses, building the independent learning strategies your child will need to thrive at university.
