This focused learning doesn't just help with exam performance. It develops critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are essential for competitive courses at universities like Glasgow, Strathclyde, or Edinburgh, and for the careers that follow.

Ffion W
Absolutely fabulous.. my daughter was in tears this week as her teachers at college refused to help , and isolated her from the class. Tonight after just one hour with Ffion, she has turned a corner for my daughter, going from feeling like a failure to feeling positive again and given her hope that she can do this. Cant thank her enough .. will definitely be booking her again.

Greg is a fantastic tutor, he makes the lessons fun and is very patient.
Greg was very thorough and thoughtful in his prep and feedback for each lesson provided. He gave us regular updates post each class regarding what was covered and progress on the topic and was very flexible and a total pleasure.
Greg has successfully tutored my son through the 11+ exams and my son looked forward to his sessions with Greg each week. I can’t recommend Greg enough!

Nigel Q
My 15-year-old son is working through the GCSE Spanish with Nigel. I am very relieved to have found such a good teacher. He is clear and thorough, and he encourages him throughout the lessons. It is clear that Nigel knows the syllabus well and is an experienced teacher, which in my opinion is very important for the exams. Most importantly, my son enjoys the lessons and thinks Nigel is an excellent teacher.
I also rate this site 5 stars. It is clear and simple to use.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is worried their National 5s won't be enough for their chosen Highers. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Ayr come to us. A private tutor can work with your child to fill any knowledge gaps, strengthen their understanding of key topics, and refine their exam technique, giving them the best possible chance to get the grades they need for S5.
Can a tutor help my child with university applications to places like Glasgow or Edinburgh?
Many of our tutors have experience helping students with the UCAS process. They can provide expert subject knowledge to help your child write a compelling personal statement and prepare them for the academic rigour of university-level study, strengthening their application.
How do I find the right tutor for my child?
It's simple. You can use our search filters to find tutors based on subject, level, and price. Every tutor has a detailed profile with a video, student reviews, and their qualifications, so you can get a real sense of who they are before you even send a message.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and personally vetted by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from a trusted and knowledgeable expert.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a secure and effective learning space that your child can access from the comfort of home.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is everything. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk, and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for National 5s, Highers, and beyond, we also offer support in hobbies and practical skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language.
How much does online tutoring cost in Ayr?
Prices vary as our tutors set their own rates based on their experience and subject. You can easily see the cost on each tutor's profile, so there are no surprises. You only pay for the lessons you book, with no hidden fees or subscriptions.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
Sometimes, all a child needs is a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A one-to-one tutor provides patient, personalised attention, celebrating small wins and breaking down topics until they click. This process is a huge confidence booster.
We are aiming for Wellington School, can we find a specialist tutor?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience preparing students for entrance exams and the curriculum at specific independent schools. You can mention this in your search or when messaging tutors to find someone with the right experience for your child's goals.
How often should my child have a lesson?
It’s completely up to you and your child's needs. Many families find a regular weekly session works well for consistent progress, but you can book lessons as often or as little as you like. It's designed to be flexible and fit around your life.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Academically, our goal is steady, sustainable progress, which is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
