Conor D
Connor has been working with my son for a month now on GCSE Physics prep, and the impact has been fantastic. My son is aiming to move from a Grade 7 to an 8 or 9 in preparation for A-Level, and Connor’s deep subject knowledge is making that goal feel very achievable. He is incredibly friendly and supportive, and my son genuinely enjoys his weekly sessions. He feels he is effectively closing his knowledge gaps and gaining a lot of confidence. Highly recommended!

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends a comprehensive in Dumfries and Galloway. Can a tutor provide the specialist support needed for top Higher Physics grades?
Absolutely. This is exactly where our tutors excel. They provide focused, one-to-one attention that complements school teaching, helping to fill any gaps, clarify complex topics, and build the confidence your child needs to aim for the highest grades in their Higher exams.
Can a tutor help my child with their application for a competitive STEM course at a university like Glasgow or Edinburgh?
Yes. Many of our Physics tutors have studied at top universities themselves. They can provide invaluable guidance on the subject knowledge required, help with personal statements, and offer insights that can make your child's university application stand out.
How do I choose the right Physics tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It’s all about finding a great personality match.
How do online lessons work?
They take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard for solving problems together, and a way to share documents. It’s a simple, effective, and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Are your tutors qualified to teach the Scottish Higher Physics curriculum?
Yes. Many of our tutors are experienced in teaching the Scottish curriculum, including the SQA National 5 and Higher qualifications. You can check each tutor's profile for their specific experience and even filter your search to find specialists in the Scottish system.
How much does online Physics tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's price per hour clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first 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 tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in Physics?
Confidence is key. Our tutors create a friendly, patient, and encouraging environment where your child can ask questions freely. By breaking down difficult topics into manageable steps and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild your child's self-belief in their own abilities.
Are all tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check before they can start teaching on our platform.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like Physics?
Not at all! While we have experts in all academic subjects from Primary up to degree level, we also have tutors who can teach a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, we can help.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly lessons to build their understanding over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
Life happens, we understand. You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, as per our cancellation policy.
