This personal approach helps build a supportive partnership where your child feels comfortable asking questions and making progress. Every online lesson is built around your child.

Eduarda T
Eduarda has been a wonderful tutor for out son studying A Level maths. He has achieved a grade B and is on to university. With her patients, support and knowledge she has supportive him in achieving this grade, when initially he was predicted a D grade in maths. We could not recommend her highly enough for anyone requiring support for A Level maths. She even supported him with a few sessions in physics which secured him a grade B too. She is always on time and flexible if things need to change, she is just brilliant!

Peter helped me understand the foundations of Complex Numbers in a single lesson. He clearly explained different forms, roots, De Moivre’s Theorem, and the Argand diagram. These topics had not made sense to me over the last four months at school. I already feel confident and encouraged. His teaching approach is clear and effective. I recommend him.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study a STEM subject at the University of Glasgow or Strathclyde. Can a tutor help with this goal?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for competitive university courses. They can focus on the specific Higher Maths topics and problem-solving skills needed to build a strong application for STEM or business degrees at institutions like Glasgow and Strathclyde.
The standard at local schools like St Ninian's is very high. Can a tutor help my child keep up and feel confident?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor can work at your child's pace, filling any knowledge gaps and reinforcing what they learn in class. This personalised support helps them build confidence, feel less overwhelmed, and stay on track with the high standards of their school.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor 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 I find the right Maths tutor for my child?
It's simple. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience, such as the Scottish curriculum. You can read their profiles, watch their intro videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors before booking to make sure they're the right fit for your child's needs.
How can a tutor help my child with exam technique for National 5 or Higher Maths?
Definitely. A tutor can help your child understand the structure of the National 5 and Higher exams, practise past papers, and learn how to manage their time effectively. They can show your child how to structure answers to gain maximum marks, which is a huge confidence booster.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, the safety of your child is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can join our platform. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for an engaging lesson, including a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. Your child can work through problems with their tutor in real-time, just as they would in person, all from the comfort of home.
Can tutoring help my child if they've lost their confidence in Maths?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child isn't afraid to make mistakes or ask questions. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief in their Maths ability.
How much does a Maths tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, so costs vary depending on their experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This really depends on your child's individual needs and goals. Most students have one lesson a week to build momentum and stay consistent, but you can arrange lessons more or less frequently. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like Maths, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects from Primary through to university level, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor on Tutorful.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You'll be able to see their confidence grow as they start to master topics they once found difficult. Many parents also tell us they see a positive change in their child's attitude towards school and their grades.
