Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a STEM course at Strathclyde or Glasgow. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are university students or graduates themselves, with first-hand experience of the application process. They can help your child not only master the National 5 Maths content but also develop the strong analytical skills that universities like Strathclyde and Glasgow look for in their STEM applicants.
The standards at local schools like Dalziel High are high. Can a tutor help my child keep up?
Yes, that's a common reason parents in Motherwell come to us. A one-to-one tutor can work at your child's pace, reinforcing what they're learning at school and providing extra support where they need it most. This helps them feel less pressure in the classroom and more confident in their abilities.
How do I choose the right Maths National 5 tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have said about them. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat before you book, so you and your child can meet them and make sure it feels like a good match.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online maths tutoring cost in Motherwell?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in maths?
Confidence often comes from understanding. A tutor provides a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help your child see that they *can* do maths, which makes a huge difference.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors must pass an identity check and have a valid DBS or PVG background check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, allowing your child and their tutor to work together just as they would in person.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we have experts for core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish to getting to grips with coding languages like Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress and building momentum. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to an exam, or less frequent ones for general support. It's entirely up to you and your tutor.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are an hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs.
What results can I expect from tutoring?
Every child is different, but our goal is to help them feel more confident and capable. We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. With over 4,100 customer reviews and an average rating of 4.6 stars, we've seen how effective one-to-one support can be for the 200,000+ students we've helped.
