Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a competitive STEM course at the University of Edinburgh. Can a tutor help with this?

Yes, absolutely. Our Maths tutors can help your child focus on achieving the specific A-grade they need in National 5 or Higher Maths to meet the demanding entry requirements for courses like Engineering or Computing at top universities.

There's a lot of academic pressure in the Musselburgh area. Can a tutor help my child feel less anxious?

Definitely. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, supportive space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down difficult topics and building on their strengths, a tutor can help reduce their anxiety and build genuine confidence in their abilities.

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

You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. We recommend finding someone your child will get on with, who has experience in the specific area your child needs help with, such as National 5 or Higher Maths.

What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know that the right fit is important. That's why we have a 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 online Maths tutoring cost?

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

My child's confidence in Maths is very low. How can a tutor help?

Low confidence is often the biggest hurdle. Our tutors are skilled at creating a positive learning environment. By celebrating small wins and explaining concepts in a new way, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief, which is often the key to unlocking their academic progress.

How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must provide professional references. We interview every tutor and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.

How do the online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection. It’s simple, secure, and very effective.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?

While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills! From learning Python and coding to mastering the guitar or learning a new language, we're here to support all of your child's learning interests.

How often should my child have a tutoring session?

Most families find that one session a week works best for consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You might want more sessions in the run-up to exams or fewer during school holidays. You can arrange this directly with your tutor.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Our tutors provide regular feedback, and you can message them at any time to discuss your child's development. The best sign of progress, however, is often seeing your child's confidence grow and their attitude towards Maths become more positive.

Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?

No, there are no long-term commitments or contracts. You can book lessons one at a time or schedule a regular slot with your chosen tutor. It's completely flexible to fit your needs.
