asked questions

See all FAQs

My child wants to study a STEM subject at Heriot-Watt. Can a tutor help them get the Higher Maths grade they need?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in preparing students for their Higher exams. They can create a tailored plan focusing on the key topics and exam techniques needed to help your child secure the grade required for competitive university courses.

We live in West Lothian and my child attends a competitive school. How can a tutor help them keep up?

It can be stressful trying to keep pace. A personal tutor provides a calm, supportive space where your child can ask questions they might not ask in class. They can go over topics at your child's speed, helping them build a solid understanding and feel more confident at school.

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

You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications on their profiles. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will get on with before booking your first session.

How much does an online Maths tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.

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

Confidence is key. A great tutor celebrates small wins and breaks down difficult problems into manageable steps. This one-to-one encouragement helps your child see they are capable, rebuilding their self-belief one lesson at a time.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID-checked and has an up-to-date DBS or equivalent background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply to ensure the highest quality and safety.

How do the online lessons actually work?

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

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

Every child learns at their own pace, but our focus is on building a strong foundation for lasting success. We're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one academic grade.

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.

My child is preparing for their National 5 Maths exam. Can a tutor help with that?

Yes, we have many tutors who are experts in the Scottish curriculum and SQA exams. They can provide targeted revision, work on past papers, and help your child master the specific knowledge needed for their National 5s.

Do you only offer school subjects?

Not at all! While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to degree level, we also have talented tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, from learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish to coding in Python.

How do I pay for lessons?

Paying for lessons is simple and secure. Your payment details are stored safely on your account, and you are only charged 24 hours after each lesson is complete. You can review all your charges in your account dashboard.
