I started having GCSE science lessons with Uzma. She is always friendly. And it was very useful doing some practice questions together as now I’m starting to understand how the content is applied to questions.

Michael D
Michael is a great teacher for my Y11 son. My son always achieved 7-8 grade during his high school but only after a few months of taking science lessons with Michael he achieved 9 for all his science mock exam subjects! Both his knowledge and confidence is boosted. I highly recommend Michael.

Aaliya B
As a parent, I’m very happy with the support my son has received so far from Aaliya. She is friendly, reliable, and puts in extra time to organise resources for each lesson. She tailors the lessons to my child’s needs and always goes over the work carefully to make sure my child fully understands it. After just a few sessions, I can already see my child becoming more confident. I would definitely recommend her to other parents.

How can an online Science tutor help my child prepare for challenging Highers?
Many parents in Dumfries worry about the step up from National 5 to Highers in Biology, Chemistry, or Physics. An online Science tutor provides focused, one-to-one support to help your child master complex concepts, tackle exam techniques, and build the deep understanding needed to excel. They can clarify tricky topics and ensure your child is fully prepared for those crucial exams.
Will a Tutorful Science tutor understand the Scottish curriculum and university requirements?
Absolutely. Our platform connects you with experienced Science tutors who are well-versed in the Scottish curriculum, including National 5 and Higher levels. Many also have experience guiding students towards competitive STEM degrees at universities like Glasgow and Edinburgh, understanding the rigorous requirements needed for success.
How do I choose the best online Science tutor for my child?
We make it easy. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and even watch introductory videos. Consider their experience, teaching style, and how well their specialisms align with your child's specific needs, whether it's for Biology, Chemistry, or Physics Highers. Our robust search filters help you narrow down the perfect match.
How much does online Science tutoring typically cost?
Tutor rates vary depending on their experience and specialism, but you'll find options to suit different budgets. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, and you only pay for the lessons your child takes. There are no hidden fees, giving you full transparency.
How will online tutoring help my child build confidence in Science?
One-to-one online tutoring creates a safe and supportive environment where your child can ask questions without hesitation and tackle challenges at their own pace. This personalised attention helps them overcome anxieties, understand difficult concepts, and truly grasp the subject, which naturally boosts their confidence.
What makes Tutorful's online Science tutors stand out?
We pride ourselves on the quality of our tutors. We pick the best, background-checked tutors from across the UK and only accept 1 in 8 who apply. This rigorous selection process ensures your child learns from highly qualified, passionate educators who are dedicated to helping them succeed.
What if my child needs help with specific Science subjects like Biology, Chemistry, or Physics?
Many of our Science tutors specialise in particular areas. You can easily find tutors who are experts in Biology, Chemistry, or Physics, ensuring your child receives highly targeted support for the exact subject they need help with, especially important when preparing for separate Higher exams.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person tutoring for Science?
Yes, absolutely! Online tutoring offers the same personalised, one-to-one attention as in-person lessons, often with added benefits. Our interactive online classroom tools, like virtual whiteboards and document sharing, are perfect for explaining complex scientific diagrams, equations, and experiments, making learning engaging and effective from home.
Can I track my child's progress with their Science tutor?
Yes, communication with your child's tutor is encouraged. You can discuss their progress, goals, and any areas where you feel your child needs extra support. Tutors often provide feedback after sessions, and you'll see your child's confidence and understanding grow over time.
What if my child doesn't get along with their first Science tutor?
We want you and your child to be completely happy. 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. This is our First Lesson Guarantee.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects like Science, or can my child learn other skills?
While we excel in academic subjects like Science for GCSEs, A-Levels, and Highers, Tutorful offers much more! Your child can also find tutors for a wide range of skills, from learning a new language or musical instrument to developing coding abilities or even personal development, helping them explore new passions.
What if my child needs help with specific Science subjects like Biology, Chemistry, or Physics?
It's really straightforward! Once you've chosen a tutor and booked a session, your child will join their tutor in our virtual classroom at the scheduled time. They'll use interactive tools like a whiteboard, text editor, and video chat to communicate, share resources, and work through problems, just as they would in person. All your child needs is a computer and an internet connection.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
