Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Are the tutors familiar with the SQA curriculum for National 5 Maths?

Yes. Many of our tutors are specialists in the Scottish curriculum. You can view each tutor's profile to see their specific experience with SQA exams, and you can even message them before booking to ask about their approach to National 5 Maths.

My child hopes to study at a competitive Scottish university. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. A tutor can help your child secure the National 5 grade they need to progress to the right Highers. By building a strong foundation now, they'll be better prepared for the challenges of advanced study and future university applications.

How do I choose the right Maths National 5 tutor for my child?

You can start by filtering tutors by subject and availability. Watch their intro videos and read reviews from other parents to get a feel for their teaching style. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's goals before booking.

What 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, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

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

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your budget.

How do online lessons work?

Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, a shared whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection. It's simple, secure, and effective.

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

Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-belief, which often has a huge impact on results.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families opt for one hour-long lesson per week, as this provides consistency and keeps momentum going. However, you can arrange lessons as often as you feel your child needs, especially in the run-up to exams.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced background check and we personally interview them to ensure they are the best of the best.

What results can I expect?

While every child learns at their own pace, we're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Our goal is to help your child feel confident and prepared, which naturally leads to better performance.

Can I message a tutor before booking a lesson?

Yes, we encourage it! You can send a direct message to any tutor to discuss your child's needs, ask about their experience, and make sure they're the right fit for your family before you commit to a lesson.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?

We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond core academics like Maths and English, you can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding in Python to public speaking and university admissions prep.
