Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can a tutor help my child with the specific requirements for an engineering degree at the University of Strathclyde?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top university courses. They can focus on the specific Advanced Higher curriculum and problem-solving skills needed to meet the entry requirements for competitive degrees like those at Strathclyde or the University of Glasgow.

We live in Glasgow. How does online tutoring work for us?

Online tutoring offers the best of both worlds. You get access to the UK's best Mechanics tutors without being limited by location, and your child can learn from the comfort of your own home. It saves you travel time and fits easily around your family's schedule.

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

We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

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

Take a look through the tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have said in their reviews. You can send messages to tutors before booking to ask about their approach to teaching Advanced Higher Mechanics and discuss your child's specific goals.

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

Confidence is key. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. They will patiently go back over the basics, celebrate small wins, and build up your child's self-belief one step at a time.

How much does an online Mechanics tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, and you can use our search filters to find a great tutor who fits your budget.

Are the tutors qualified to teach Advanced Higher Mechanics?

Yes. On each tutor's profile, you can view their academic background, qualifications, and specific experience with the Scottish curriculum, including Advanced Highers. Many are subject matter experts with degrees in related fields like engineering or physics.

Is this just for school subjects, or can you help with other skills?

While we help thousands of students with academic subjects like Maths and English, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn coding, play the guitar, or speak a new language, we can help.

How are your tutors vetted?

We take your child's safety and quality of learning very seriously. All tutors must pass an ID and background check, and we interview them to ensure they have the right expertise. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard and other tools to make learning engaging and effective.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

Most sessions are one hour long, as this is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can discuss your child's needs with your tutor and agree on a session length that works best for both of you.

How do I know if my child is making progress?

You'll likely see their confidence grow first! Tutors provide regular feedback on the topics covered and your child's understanding. The goal is for you to see a real improvement in their self-belief, their homework, and ultimately, their exam results.
