asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is worried about keeping up with pupils from schools like Jordanhill or The Glasgow Academy. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. That feeling is very common. A one-to-one tutor can create a supportive, pressure-free space for your child to learn at their own pace. They can focus on the exact areas your child finds difficult, helping them build the skills and confidence to feel on par with their peers.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Glasgow or Strathclyde. Can a tutor help secure the Maths foundation needed for STEM Highers?
Yes, this is one of the main reasons parents come to us. Our tutors are experienced in helping students build a solid understanding of National 5 Maths, ensuring they have the knowledge needed to confidently take on STEM Highers and keep their university ambitions on track.
How do I choose the right Maths National 5 tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message before you book. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, as a positive relationship is key to building confidence and achieving results.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that finding the right personality match is essential. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does a Maths National 5 tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience, so you can find a qualified tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in Maths?
Confidence is everything. A tutor provides a safe space for your child to make mistakes and ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-belief step-by-step.
What results can we expect?
Every child learns differently, but our approach gets results. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Our main goal is to help your child feel more confident and capable in their studies.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this gives enough time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families opt for one session per week to build momentum and ensure consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your schedule.

While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find tutors for learning a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or even practical skills like coding.
