asked questions

See all FAQs

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.

How do you select your online Science tutors in Scotland?

We pick the best from across the UK. Every tutor goes through a rigorous vetting process, including an interview, subject proficiency tests, and an enhanced background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a true expert.

How does online Science tutoring actually work?

It's really simple! Your child connects with their tutor through our interactive online classroom. They can see and hear each other, use a virtual whiteboard, share documents, and even revisit recorded lessons. It's just like a face-to-face session but with added flexibility and convenience.

How much does an online Science tutor in Scotland cost?

Tutor rates vary depending on their experience and the subject level. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile. There are no hidden fees, and you only pay for the sessions your child has.

How can a Science tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions, make mistakes, and truly understand concepts without judgment. This personalised attention helps them master challenging topics, which naturally boosts their self-esteem and enthusiasm for Science.

What kind of progress can I expect for my child with online Science tutoring?

We're proud that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. With regular, tailored support, your child can expect to fill knowledge gaps, improve their problem-solving skills, and feel much more prepared and confident for their Science exams, leading to tangible academic progress.

Yes, many of our tutors specialise in the Scottish curriculum, including National 5 and Higher Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. You can view their profiles to see their specific experience and qualifications, ensuring they are the perfect fit to support your child's SQA studies.

How do I choose the right online Science tutor for my child?
