Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How can a tutor help my child get the National 5 Maths grade they need for Higher?
A tutor can make a huge difference by identifying the specific topics your child finds challenging. They'll work through problems one-to-one, build understanding in a low-pressure setting, and focus on exam technique to help them secure the grade they need to progress.
My child is worried about competing for a place at Edinburgh or Glasgow University. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. A strong Maths grade is critical for many competitive courses. A tutor can help your child master the curriculum, build deep subject knowledge, and develop the confidence to perform their best, making their university application as strong as it can be.
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 to find the perfect fit. Think about their experience with the Scottish curriculum (National 5s and Highers) and their teaching style. The goal is to find someone your child connects with.
How much does an online Maths tutor cost in the Scottish Borders?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom. It has a shared whiteboard for working through problems, video chat, and file sharing. It's a secure and effective space for your child to learn one-to-one with their tutor.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview every single one to ensure they are experienced and passionate professionals. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
My child's confidence in Maths is really low. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a supportive environment, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors are brilliant at celebrating small wins and building up a student's self-belief, one topic at a time.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find a one-hour lesson per week is ideal for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more sessions in the run-up to an exam. You can discuss the best plan with your chosen tutor.
What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure it's a perfect match. 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.
Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?
No, there are no contracts or long-term commitments. You can book lessons as you go, paying for them one at a time. It’s completely flexible to suit your family's needs.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we help thousands of students with academic subjects like Maths and English, we also have expert tutors for hobbies and personal development. Your child could learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You'll also see their confidence grow as they start to understand difficult topics and see their school results improve. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
