How One-to-One Tutoring Makes a Real Difference
The right tutor does more than just teach a subject; they build a genuine connection with your child. By understanding how your child learns best, they can adapt their approach, explain things in a new way, and build their self-belief. It's why we're so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. We find the best, so you can have complete peace of mind. Every lesson is shaped around your child’s specific needs. If they’re finding a particular topic in National 5 Physics tricky or need to practise essay technique for Higher History, their tutor can dedicate the whole session to it. This focused attention is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade – it’s learning that’s all about them. Finding the right support shouldn't add to your busy schedule. With online tutoring, there’s no need to travel. Your child can learn from the comfort of home, at a time that works for your family.

Callum A
Our son had a 15-minute introductory session with Callum focusing specifically on Transformations in Coordinate Geometry. We were genuinely impressed.
Callum explained rotations, reflections and translations in a clear, logical way, checked our son’s reasoning, and quickly identified the gaps in his understanding.
We’re now booking full sessions and feel confident that we’ve chosen a truly excellent maths tutor.

Rai S
Incredible! It’s fair to say that science was never one of my sons favourite subjects. My son has only had a few lessons with Rai so far but we are making it regular to support his GCSE exams.
Rai’s sessions are full of energy and my son has so much more confidence and loves the way Rai explains things. He has already learnt so much!
I would absolutely recommend!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study at Glasgow or Edinburgh. Can a tutor help with their SQA Highers?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in preparing students for SQA Highers. They can help your child master their subjects, refine their exam technique, and build the confidence needed to submit a strong university application.
We live quite remotely in Argyll and Bute. How does online tutoring help?
Online tutoring removes geography from the equation. It gives your child access to a huge range of specialist tutors from across the UK that you simply wouldn't find locally, ensuring they get the expert help they need without you having to travel for miles.
Can you help with specialist Highers that my child's school doesn't offer?
Yes, this is a huge benefit of online tutoring. We have tutors for a vast range of subjects, including many specialist SQA Highers. This can help broaden your child's qualifications and strengthen their university application.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our satisfaction guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. You can also message them before booking to discuss your child's needs. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable with.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £45 per hour depending on their experience and the subject level. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no surprises.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and file sharing, so your child and their tutor can work together just as they would in person. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have had their ID verified and hold an up-to-date DBS or equivalent background check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join us.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space works wonders for confidence. When a child masters a topic they once found difficult, their self-belief grows. Our tutors are experts at celebrating small wins and creating a positive learning environment.
What SQA levels do your tutors cover?
We have tutors who cover all levels of the Scottish curriculum, including National 5, Highers, and Advanced Highers. Many also have experience with entrance exams for Scottish independent schools if that's something you're considering.
Is this just for school subjects?
Not at all! While we have experts for every academic subject you can think of, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach life-long skills like coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, or even a new language just for fun.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week is ideal for making consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent sessions during exam periods or less frequent lessons for a general confidence boost.
