Chris is a really patient and knowledgeable A-Level Chemistry tutor. Having been through quitea few chemistry tutors on tutorful before, I settled with Chris as Ifound his style of teaching really worked with me compared to other tutors. Chris' style for me is mainly to focus on understanding the key concepts to ensure I can apply these ideas to the exam effectively, and it is definetely working and I am gaining a lot of confidence very quickly. Would highly recommend.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Natalie G
Highly Recommended Maths Tutor!
Natalie is a fantastic tutor and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. She tailors every lesson to my daughter’s individual needs, and as a visual learner, my daughter finds her sessions engaging, fun, and easy to understand. Natalie prepares each lesson beautifully and always comes with creative ways to explain even the trickiest concepts.
We’ve used tutors for all three of our children over the years, and only Natalie and one other tutor have provided such thoughtful, detailed feedback after every session — something we find extremely valuable.
It’s genuinely hard to find a maths tutor who makes lessons enjoyable, but Natalie does exactly that.
For the first time ever, my daughter actually looks forward to her maths sessions! Her confidence has grown, and so have her skills.
I highly recommend Natalie to any child who struggles with maths or simply wants to strengthen their abilities. Thank you, Natalie, for your dedication and wonderful teaching approach!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at the University of Stirling. Can a tutor help with their Highers?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in the Scottish curriculum and have extensive experience helping students secure the Higher results they need for university. They can provide targeted support for specific subjects and help build the study skills required for a successful application.
We're concerned about the step up from National 5s at Lornshill Academy. Can a tutor help bridge that gap?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents seek a tutor. The transition to Highers can be challenging. A tutor can work with your child to consolidate their National 5 knowledge and introduce the more advanced concepts and independent study skills needed to succeed at the next level.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Alloa?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It’s all about finding the right personality match for your child.
Are your tutors familiar with the Scottish curriculum (SQA)?
Yes. You can easily filter for tutors who have specific experience with the Scottish curriculum, including the SQA syllabus for National 5s, Highers, and Advanced Highers. Many explicitly state their expertise in their profiles.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and their ID is verified. We also interview every tutor and are highly selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, to ensure your child learns from a trusted and capable expert.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
Can tutoring help my child feel more confident at school?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the boost in confidence. When a child starts to understand a topic they previously struggled with, their self-esteem grows, which often has a positive impact on their participation and enjoyment in school.
Is tutoring only for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also offer support for hobbies and personal development. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning guitar and coding to public speaking and university admissions prep.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson per week, as this provides consistency and allows time to practise between sessions. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. Consistent weekly lessons often lead to noticeable improvements in both confidence and understanding within the first few months.
