Destiny B
I would highly recommend Destiny as a tutor. She has helped my daughter in getting ready for her Science GCSE'S so much. My daughter really struggles with Chemistry and Physics and Destiny has explained in a way that she understands. She has been patient and worked at a pace which is right for my daughter. Destiny is always prepared with the lesson content and is very fast to respond to messages. Excellent tutor!

Hasan S
Hassan has been tutoring my son on GCSE chemistry and biology for over 6 months now. I can’t recommend him highly enough. His sessions are engaging, tailored to the key parts of the curriculum where my son needs support, and my son is improving and on course to get 8/9s in both subjects.

Can an online Science tutor help my child prepare for university applications in Scotland?
Absolutely. Our experienced Science tutors can help your child strengthen their understanding of key concepts for National 5 and Higher exams, which is crucial for competitive university applications to institutions like Edinburgh or Strathclyde. They can also work on interview skills or personal statement content related to their scientific interests, giving your child a stronger application.
How can I find a Science tutor specifically for National 5 or Higher level in Scotland?
Our platform makes it easy to filter tutors by subject, level (like National 5 Physics or Higher Chemistry), and even by experience with the Scottish curriculum. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews, and message them directly to discuss your child's specific needs and academic goals.
Is Tutorful just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we excel in academic subjects like Science, Maths, and English, we also offer tutoring for a wide range of skills and hobbies. Your child could learn coding, a new language, how to play an instrument, or even develop their creative writing. It's all about fostering a love for learning.
What if my child doesn't get along with their first Science tutor?
We want you and your child to feel completely comfortable. If you don't get on with your tutor after the first session, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. Your child's comfort and progress are our top priority.
