Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is preparing for their Scottish Highers in History. Can a tutor really help them achieve the grades needed for a competitive university like Edinburgh or Glasgow?

Absolutely. That's a key reason many parents in Scotland come to us. Our tutors are experienced in the SQA curriculum and focus on the specific skills Highers demand: essay writing, source analysis, and critical thinking. They provide targeted support to help your child's application stand out.

We're concerned our local state school can't offer the same specialist History focus as a private school. Can online tutoring bridge that gap?

Yes, it's the perfect way to level the playing field. Online tutoring gives your child access to top History specialists from across the UK, regardless of where you live in Scotland. They get focused, one-to-one attention that complements their schoolwork, helping them build the confidence and skills to compete at the highest level.

How does online tutoring actually work for a subject like History?

It's highly effective! Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard for analysing texts and sources, file sharing for reviewing essays, and video chat for engaging discussions. It offers all the benefits of face-to-face tuition, plus the convenience of learning from home and access to a wider choice of expert UK tutors.

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

Finding the right fit is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. If the first session isn't quite right, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk, and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor. It's that simple.

Are there tutors who can specifically help with Scottish History topics for the curriculum?

Yes. Many of our History tutors have expertise in specific areas, including Scottish History. You can use our search filters to find tutors with experience in the topics your child is studying, ensuring they get the most relevant and effective support possible.

How much do online History tutors for students in Scotland cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget. Tutors' hourly rates are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert who fits your family's finances. There are no hidden fees.

My child needs help with History, but is also interested in Politics. Do you offer tutors for other subjects?

Yes, we do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from core academics like Maths and English to Modern Studies, Politics, and even coding or music. You can find support for all of your child's interests on our platform.

How do you check your tutors are safe and qualified?

We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 applicants make it onto Tutorful. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked using a DBS or equivalent, and has their qualifications verified. We look for tutors with deep subject knowledge and a real passion for helping students learn.

Can we schedule lessons to fit around after-school clubs and our busy family life?

Of course. Flexibility is one of the biggest advantages of online tutoring. You can view each tutor's availability on their profile and schedule sessions at times that work for you – whether that's evenings, weekends, or during school holidays.

How will I know if my child is making progress in their History sessions?

Tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their development. The goal is always clear: building confidence and improving results you can see, whether that's in homework, class tests, or their final exams.

What technology do we need for an online lesson?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. Our custom-built online classroom runs directly in your web browser, so there's no complex software to install.

My child needs help with History, but is also interested in Politics. Do you offer tutors for other subjects?

Not at all. Tutoring is for any student who wants to improve. We help students who are aiming to turn a B into an A, those who want to deepen their passion for a subject, and those who need a bit of extra help to catch up. It’s about helping every child achieve their personal best.
