Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is hoping to study Engineering at the University of Edinburgh. Can a tutor help with this specific goal?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in preparing students for competitive university courses. They can focus on the specific Mechanics topics and problem-solving skills needed to meet the entry requirements for degrees at the University of Edinburgh or Heriot-Watt, helping your child build a strong application.

My child feels under pressure to keep up with peers from schools like George Heriot's. Can a tutor help them feel more confident?

Yes, this is a very common reason parents seek our help. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling judged. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help build genuine confidence that goes far beyond just catching up with classmates.

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

It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and even message tutors for free before booking. We recommend finding someone your child will get on with, as a positive relationship is key to effective learning.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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.

How do you make sure your tutors are safe and high quality?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and personally interviewed by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best tutors in the UK.

How much does an online Mechanics tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. There are no hidden fees, so you can easily find an expert tutor who fits your budget.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence in Mechanics?

Confidence often comes from understanding. A tutor can identify the exact points where your child is getting stuck and explain them in a new way. By working together in a supportive environment, your child can ask questions freely and master tricky topics, which is a huge confidence booster.

How do online lessons work on Tutorful?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, a shared whiteboard, and file sharing. It's a simple and effective way for your child to work directly with their tutor on anything from analysing graphs to solving complex equations.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works best. This allows enough time to cover topics in detail and build momentum. However, the schedule is completely flexible and you can arrange sessions with your tutor as often as you feel is needed.

Do you offer tutoring for other subjects besides Mechanics?

Yes, we do! We have expert tutors across hundreds of subjects. Whether your child needs help with another academic subject like Chemistry or wants to learn a new skill like coding, guitar, or a new language, we have a brilliant tutor who can help.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also see their confidence grow as they start to tackle homework more easily and feel more prepared for exams. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's attitude towards the subject.

What equipment do we need for online tutoring?

All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, plus a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no need to download any special software.
