Laura W
Laura has been a wonderful support for my daughter throughout her A level sociology course. Lessons were tailored to support her learning needs and the additional information that Laura provided was invaluable. Laura is a kind, caring and diligent tutor who I would not hesitate to recommend. She cares about her students and offers positive support and guidance - often going beyond the tutorial time to mark additional work and offer advice. Thank you Laura for everything - particularly inspiring Al to study sociology at university and helping her to achieve a grade well above what she was predicted!

Brilliant Sociology tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
We're in Dumfries and worry our child might be at a disadvantage for top university applications. Can online tutoring truly help?
Absolutely. This is precisely the gap we help bridge. Online tutoring gives your child access to Sociology specialists from across the UK – including graduates from Russell Group universities. They can provide the advanced insight, research skills, and critical analysis practice that builds a truly competitive university application, levelling the playing field regardless of location.
My child attends Dumfries High School. Can a tutor align with the Scottish curriculum for Higher Sociology?
Yes, of course. Many of our tutors are experts in the SQA curriculum, including the specific requirements for National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher Sociology. You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience and filter for those with specific knowledge of the Scottish education system to find the perfect fit for your child.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
We believe it’s even better. Online lessons offer huge advantages: your child can learn from the comfort of home in Dumfries, you save time and money on travel, and you have access to a far wider choice of top tutors from across the UK, not just whoever happens to live nearby. With interactive tools like whiteboards, it's just as personal and engaging.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's so important that your child feels comfortable and inspired by their tutor. If the first session isn't the right fit for any reason, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?
We're very selective because we know how much trust you're placing in us. We accept just 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and has their qualifications verified to ensure they meet our high standards for both subject expertise and teaching ability.
Can a tutor help with specific things like essay writing and exam technique?
Definitely. That's one of the key benefits of one-to-one support. A tutor can focus specifically on the areas your child finds most challenging, whether it's structuring an argument, analysing data, or mastering the timing and technique needed to excel under exam conditions.
How much does online Sociology tutoring cost for a student in Dumfries?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £45, depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone brilliant who fits your family's budget.
Is tutoring only for students who are struggling?
Not at all. Whilst we absolutely help students who need to catch up, many parents use Tutorful to help their child push further and really excel. It's perfect for ambitious students who want to deepen their understanding, explore topics beyond the curriculum, and secure the highest grades.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how frequent should they be?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually ideal for maintaining focus. Most families find that one session a week is perfect for making consistent progress, but the schedule is completely flexible and up to you and your tutor.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our custom-built online classroom runs directly in your web browser, so there's no complex software to install.
Can a tutor help my child apply sociological concepts to our local area of Dumfries and Galloway?
That's a fantastic way to bring the subject to life! Many tutors love to make learning relevant. You can discuss this with a potential tutor to see how they could incorporate case studies on topics like rural communities, social change, or local identity into their lessons to make the concepts more tangible for your child.
How much does online Sociology tutoring cost for a student in Dumfries?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So, alongside Sociology, we can help with other humanities like History or Politics, core subjects like English and Maths, languages, sciences, and even practical skills like coding or music tuition. We're here to support all of your child's learning goals.
