asked questions

See all FAQs

My child wants to study at the University of Glasgow. Can a tutor help with the Maths entry requirements?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the specific entry requirements for competitive courses at universities like Glasgow and Strathclyde. They can focus on the key topics your child needs to master for their Higher Maths exam to secure their place.

We're aiming for a top grade in National 5 Maths. Can a tutor help with this?

This is a very common goal for parents we work with. Our tutors are experts in the SQA curriculum and can create a tailored plan to help your child feel confident and prepared for their National 5 Maths exam, focusing on the areas they need to improve to aim for the highest possible grade.

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

You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat so you and your child can talk to them first and make sure they're the right person to provide support.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure it's the right fit for your child. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason after the first lesson, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

Are the tutors safe and background-checked?

Your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and personally interviewed by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How much do Maths tutors in Glasgow cost?

Prices are set by individual tutors and vary based on their experience. You can see the hourly rate clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

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

This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By patiently going over topics until they click, they help rebuild the self-belief that is so crucial for success in school and beyond.

How do online lessons work?

Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child to work through problems with their tutor, just like they would in person.

Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than core school topics?

Yes! While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects from Primary to Higher level, we also offer support in practical skills like learning an instrument, coding, or even public speaking. You can find a tutor for almost anything.

Do your tutors cover the Scottish curriculum (SQA)?

Yes, our tutors are well-versed in the Scottish curriculum, including the SQA specifications for National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher Maths. You can check a tutor's profile to see their specific experience or use our filters to find an SQA specialist.

How quickly will we see an improvement in our child's grades?

Every child is different, but many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Consistent lessons help build knowledge and skills over time, which is why 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.
