asked questions

See all FAQs

My child hopes to study a STEM subject at the University of Edinburgh. Can a tutor help with this goal?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades needed for competitive university courses. They can focus on the specific National 5 Maths topics that are foundational for Highers like Physics and Chemistry, helping to build a strong application.

The schools in Edinburgh, like Boroughmuir and The Royal High, are very competitive. Can a tutor help my child keep up?

Yes, definitely. A one-to-one tutor can provide support that's perfectly paced for your child. They can help consolidate what's taught in class, fill any knowledge gaps, and build confidence so your child feels prepared and able to keep up with the fast pace of a competitive school environment.

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

We understand that the right fit is crucial for building confidence. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, 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 choose the right Maths National 5 tutor for my child?

You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals to ensure you find the perfect match.

How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in Maths?

A great tutor does more than just teach the subject. They create a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-belief one step at a time.

How do online lessons work?

Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, so your child and their tutor can work through problems together just as they would in person. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.

How much does a Maths National 5 tutor cost in Edinburgh?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees.

Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one to ensure they are knowledgeable and passionate about teaching. We're trusted by over 200,000 students and their families.

What topics in National 5 Maths can a tutor help with?

Our tutors can cover the entire National 5 Maths curriculum. Whether your child needs help with algebra, geometry, trigonometry, or understanding statistics, a tutor can create lessons focused on the exact areas they find most challenging.

How many lessons will my child need?

This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Some parents book a weekly slot to provide consistent support throughout the school year, while others might book a few sessions to focus on a specific topic or for revision before an exam.

Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like Maths?

While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also help students explore other interests! You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and Python.

How do I know if tutoring is actually working?

The best sign is seeing your child's confidence grow. You'll also be able to see their progress through their improved understanding in lessons and feedback from their tutor. With our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews, you can be confident you're in good hands.
