Siobhan R
My son has been tutoring with Siobhan for quite a while now and all i can say is how fantastic she has been in guiding him through his mathematics journey!
Her patience, ways of explaining and using visuals to help him understand, the time she takes to get to know how he learns and checking to ensure he fully grasps a concept, are all very commendable!
His confidence has increased and he looks forward to his lessons knowing that Siobhan will be there to support him in a subject that previously he was very anxious about.

Laura T
Laura conducted the lesson in a way that was suitable to my needs. She broke down the reading material so that I could read it paragraph by paragraph. She also backed it up by devising questions about the text to aid my comprehension. Towards the end of the lesson she reviewed how much I had learnt from what I read so far. I really like her style of teaching.

John M
I would like to share my positive experience with John's English lessons. My daughter thoroughly enjoys every session and looks forward to each one with great enthusiasm. John’s empathetic, professional, and friendly approach makes him stand out, and he creates a supportive and positive learning environment that truly benefits my daughter.
My daughter has special needs, including autism and attention challenges, but with John's help, she has been able to stay engaged and focused throughout the full hour of each lesson. In just a few lessons, she has made really good progress, and I am extremely grateful for John's patience, dedication, and encouragement.
His constant praise and positive reinforcement have been invaluable in boosting my daughter’s confidence and motivation. We are very thankful for the positive impact John has had on her learning journey.
Highly recommended!

Are your tutors familiar with the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence for learners in Dundee?
Yes. Many of our tutors are highly experienced with the Curriculum for Excellence. When you search, you can filter for tutors with specific curriculum knowledge to find the perfect match for your child's needs and what they're learning in their Dundee school.
How can online tutoring work for a child who struggles with focus or engagement?
It’s a great question. Online tutoring can actually be a huge benefit. The one-to-one attention eliminates classroom distractions, and our tutors use interactive tools like digital whiteboards to make learning active and engaging. Sessions are tailored to your child's pace, with breaks when needed, making it a focused and supportive environment.
My child's needs are more around organisation and study skills. Do you offer that?
Absolutely. Our SEN specialists can focus on much more than academic subjects. They can work with your child on vital life skills like time management, organisation, planning, and developing effective revision strategies that work for their learning style.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is crucial, especially for SEN support. That's why we have a first-lesson guarantee. If it doesn't feel like the right fit for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

We take safety and quality very seriously. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and we verify their qualifications. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from experienced and dedicated professionals.
Can tutoring help my child with a specific diagnosis like dyslexia, dyscalculia or ADHD?
Yes. Many of our tutors have specific qualifications and extensive experience in supporting children with a wide range of learning differences. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in the specific support your child needs.
What technology do we need for online lessons from our home in Dundee?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is built into our website, so there's no complex software to download.
How much do online SEN tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and specialist qualifications. Our tutors set their own rates, so you can browse profiles to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Can my child learn something other than core school subjects?
Of course. We have tutors for hundreds of subjects and skills. Whether your child wants to learn to code, play the guitar, or develop their creative writing, we can connect you with an expert tutor online to help them explore their passions.

Completely. You can arrange sessions for times that suit your family, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during school holidays. The flexibility of online tutoring is one of the biggest benefits for busy families in Dundee.
Will the tutor communicate with me about my child's progress?
Yes. We encourage a three-way partnership between you, your child, and their tutor. Our tutors are happy to provide regular feedback so you're always up to date on their progress and the areas they're working on together.
