Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child wants to study at the University of Glasgow. Can a tutor help with their application?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with their UCAS applications, including personal statements. They can provide invaluable guidance on what top universities like Glasgow and Strathclyde look for, helping your child present their skills and ambitions in the best possible light.

We're worried about the step-up from National 5s at Vale of Leven Academy to Highers. Can a tutor help bridge that gap?

Yes, this is a very common reason parents come to us. A tutor can work with your child to consolidate their National 5 knowledge and introduce them to the more demanding concepts and analytical skills required for Highers. This helps build their confidence and ensures they start S5 on the front foot, fully prepared for the challenge.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

Finding the right personality match is so important. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit for your child, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also believe in learning for life. Your child can explore a new passion or develop a practical skill with tutors for coding, learning a musical instrument like guitar, or even mastering a new language.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?

It's easy to find the perfect match. You can filter tutors by subject and level, and read detailed profiles with reviews from other parents just like you. Many tutors also offer a free introductory chat, so you and your child can speak with them first to make sure it's a good fit before booking any lessons.

How much does online tutoring cost in Alexandria?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts – you simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.

My child's confidence has taken a knock. Can a tutor really help with that?

Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Our tutors are brilliant at celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics, which helps rebuild self-belief and a positive attitude towards learning.

How do the online lessons work?

Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space for sharing documents. Your child just needs a computer or tablet with a microphone and internet connection. It's a secure and engaging way to learn from home.

How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview them to ensure they have the right experience and a passion for teaching. We're very selective – only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform.

How often should my child have a lesson?

This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most families find a weekly one-hour session works perfectly for consistent progress. However, you might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to exams, or less frequent top-up sessions. You can discuss the best plan with your chosen tutor.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can message them directly through the platform at any time to ask questions or discuss how things are going. This partnership between you, your child, and the tutor is key to achieving great results.

What subjects and levels do you cover?

We offer tutoring for over 300 subjects, covering all stages of education. From support with primary school learning, right through to National 5s, Highers, A-Levels, and even degree-level study. Whatever your child needs help with, we have an expert tutor for it.
