Why Mastering Mechanics is Crucial for University Success
Mechanics isn't just a chapter in a textbook; it's the foundation for many competitive STEM degrees at top universities like the University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt. A solid grasp of concepts like forces, energy, and momentum is essential for any aspiring engineer, physicist, or architect. The analytical skills your child develops while solving complex Mechanics problems are exactly what universities and future employers look for, setting them up for a successful career.

Expert Mechanics Tutoring, Tailored to Your Child's Needs
We believe the best learning happens when a tutor truly understands your child. That's why we help you find an expert who not only knows Mechanics inside-out but can also connect with your child and adapt to their way of learning. They'll quickly identify specific sticking points, whether it's understanding vectors or applying Newton's laws, and build a supportive relationship that encourages questions and boosts confidence. Every online lesson is built around your child's specific goals. Instead of following a generic plan, the tutor will focus on exactly what's needed to close knowledge gaps and secure those higher marks. This could mean spending a whole session on rotational dynamics or practising past paper questions to perfect exam technique. It's targeted support that leads to real, measurable progress. We know family life in Edinburgh is busy. Our online platform makes it easy to find the right tutor and schedule lessons at times that work for you, without the stress of travel. Your child can learn from the comfort of home, using our interactive whiteboard to work through problems together with their tutor. It's simple, secure, and designed to fit around your schedule.

Will M
We contacted Will earlier this week after our son sat Paper 1 of his Maths A’Level. He was having a crisis of confidence about the upcoming mechanics paper. He is hoping for a high grade and just needed a little boost with confidence and mindset regarding certain question types.
Will kindly offered us a 2hr session this weekend, to work on this area of need. He delivered a really specialised session that focused on a very specific area & type of problem. Our son came away feeling much better and less panicked about the next paper, which as parents is exactly what we’d hoped for.
We’d highly recommend Will for anyone needing any extra assistance. He listens to what is needed and tailors it to the student and also provided us with some great feedback.

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.
