Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child's school in Dumfries and Galloway has limited specialist History teaching. Can an online tutor fill that gap?

Absolutely. This is one of the main reasons parents come to us. An online tutor provides that specialist, one-to-one focus your child may be missing. They can explore topics in greater depth, practise exam techniques, and build the strong foundation needed for Highers and beyond.

Can a tutor help my child build a strong application for universities like Edinburgh or Glasgow?

Yes. Our tutors, many of whom have studied at top universities themselves, can help your child develop the critical thinking and analytical skills that admissions tutors look for. They can provide guidance on personal statements and help your child articulate their passion for History effectively.

Is online tutoring as effective as in-person tutoring?

We believe it’s even better. Online tutoring removes geographical barriers, giving your child in Dumfries and Galloway access to a much wider pool of top-tier tutors from across the UK. With features like interactive whiteboards and session recordings, it’s a flexible and powerful way to learn from home.

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

Finding the right fit is everything. We have a first lesson guarantee, so if it doesn’t feel right for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

How do you ensure your History tutors are high quality?

We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 applicants make it onto our platform. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed, and has proven expertise in their subject, so you can be sure your child is learning from a true professional.

Can a tutor help my child explore local Dumfries and Galloway history?

Many of our tutors love to make learning relevant! If your child has a project on local history, like the border reivers or Robert Burns, you can find a tutor with expertise in that area who can help them with research, sources, and structuring their work.

How much does online History tutoring cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. Tutors set their own rates, starting from around £15 per hour. You can easily filter by price on our platform to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our custom-built online classroom has everything else built-in, including an interactive whiteboard.

How long are sessions and how often should we have them?

Most sessions are one hour long, and most students have one session per week. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange frequency and session length directly with your tutor to fit around your child's schedule and learning goals.

Can a tutor help with exam technique for National 5s or Highers?

Definitely. Many of our tutors are experts in the Scottish curriculum. They can provide targeted support on everything from understanding command words to structuring answers and managing time effectively in an exam.

My child is interested in History, but what about other humanities subjects?

We can certainly help. We have expert tutors across a huge range of subjects, including Modern Studies, Politics, Sociology, and Philosophy. You can find specialist support for almost any academic interest your child has.

How much does online History tutoring cost?

Not at all. Tutoring is for any student who wants to build confidence, deepen their understanding, or be stretched beyond the school curriculum. It’s a great way to nurture a passion and help a student see just how much they are capable of.
