Online National 5 Biology Tutors
It’s tough when your child comes home saying they just don’t ‘get’ biology. You want to help, but the specifics of cell differentiation or ecosystems might feel a long way off. Even when you can't help with the subject, you can still help them.
You don’t have to figure this out alone. Our Tutor Finder asks a few simple questions about your child and what they need. We then match you with a specialist National 5 tutor we’d genuinely recommend for them.

This means your child walks into their National 5 Biology exam feeling prepared for what the SQA will ask. They'll have the knowledge and, just as importantly, the self-belief to show what they know.

Matched to the right tutor, without the guesswork
We ask the questions you might not know to ask — about how your child learns best, their goals, and any extra support they need. We then find a small selection of tutors who are the right fit.
Every tutor is not only a subject expert but also someone who knows how to build confidence. We accept only 1 in 8 applicants, and each one is ID-verified and DBS-checked before they can meet any child. As thousands of parents have found, rating us 4.6 stars, the right support makes all the difference.
Most families have their first lesson within a few days. It's a low-pressure chat to get to know your child. And if it’s not the right fit, our First Lesson Guarantee means we'll find someone else, at no extra charge.

Simms Addai A
We asked Simms at the last moment if he could help our son with his Assignment for Nat 5 the day before the examination.
Simms couldn’t have been more accommodating and more importantly my son thought he learned more in one hour than 3 months from the teacher in school.
