Hi, my name is Katy. I'm a graduate in Mathematical Sciences, and I've been privately tutoring students in Math for over 15 years now!

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

How can a tutor help my child with the intense pace of Scottish Highers Maths?

A higher maths tutor can provide focused, one-to-one support that targets exactly where your child needs help. This allows them to quickly grasp difficult concepts, reinforce understanding, and practice exam techniques more efficiently than in a classroom setting, helping them keep up with the fast-moving curriculum and build confidence.

Will Scottish Highers Maths be understood by universities outside Scotland?

Yes, Scottish Highers are nationally recognised qualifications across the UK. Our tutors can help your child articulate their achievements effectively on university applications and support them in achieving the grades needed, including guidance on how their Higher grades equate to A-Level requirements. Many also offer support for Advanced Highers which are often seen as comparable to an A-Level, especially for competitive STEM degrees.

How do I find SQA exam centres if my child isn't studying within a Scottish school?

This can be a concern for many parents. While Tutorful provides excellent academic support, the logistics of finding an exam centre usually falls to the individual. We recommend contacting the SQA directly or searching their website for a list of approved exam centres in your area. Our tutors will focus on preparing your child thoroughly for the exam content, no matter where they sit it.

My child feels isolated studying Highers when their friends do A-Levels. How can tutoring help?

One-to-one tutoring creates a dedicated, supportive space where your child can freely ask questions and explore topics without comparison to peers. Their scottish highers maths tutor becomes a mentor, understanding their unique journey and boosting their confidence in their chosen qualification, helping them feel less alone in their studies.

Can a tutor help if we're considering Advanced Highers for university applications?

Absolutely. Many of our experienced higher maths tutor professionals are well-versed in both Highers and Advanced Highers. They can provide continuity of support, helping your child build on their Higher knowledge and prepare for the more complex content and assessment demands of an Advanced Higher, strengthening their university applications, particularly for competitive courses.

How much does a Scottish Highers Maths tutor cost?

Our tutoring rates for scottish highers maths start from £34 an hour. The exact price can vary depending on the tutor's experience and specialisation. We believe this is a valuable investment in your child's learning and future success.

What if we needed a Plan B and wanted to transfer to A-Levels?

While Highers are a strong qualification, if a change in academic path becomes necessary, an experienced tutor can help assess your child's current knowledge against the A-Level curriculum. They can then create a targeted plan to fill any gaps, making a potential transition smoother and helping to minimise any lost academic time.
