Experienced Spanish and Portuguese tutor.
Hello I am Jorge. I am originally Portuguese with Spanish roots and I love to both teach and learn. I've studied Spanish up to University and I've lived in the UK for more than eight years. I've tutored some pupils in the local community, helped them in Spanish with good results. Portuguese is my first language and I am ready to help anyone reach their targets.

Lucie managed to build a great connection with my son right from the start. Her subject knowledge is excellent, and she explains things clearly without ever making him feel rushed.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Barrhead High and feels the pressure from other East Renfrewshire schools. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. It's a common concern, and a tutor can make a huge difference. By providing focused, one-to-one attention away from the classroom, a tutor can help your child build confidence, close any knowledge gaps, and develop a deeper understanding of their subjects, helping them feel just as prepared as any other student.
Can a tutor help my child with their goals for the University of Glasgow or Strathclyde?
Yes. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the grades needed for top Scottish universities. They can focus on strengthening your child's understanding of key Higher subjects, improving their exam technique, and ensuring they have the best possible chance of meeting the entry requirements.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Barrhead?
It's simple to find the perfect match. You can filter tutors by subject and level, read detailed profiles, and check reviews from other parents. We also encourage you to send a message to a tutor before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, allowing your child to learn effectively from the comfort of home.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and trustworthy?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must pass a background check before they can join our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. 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.
Can tutoring help my child build confidence, not just grades?
Definitely. For many children, confidence is the biggest barrier to success. A tutor provides a safe, patient environment where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement, allowing them to master topics at their own pace and see what they're truly capable of.
Do you only offer academic subjects like Maths and English?
While we have fantastic tutors for all core academic subjects, we also offer a wide range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or practice a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at a different pace, but our tailored approach is designed for real progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions, and our stats show that 90% of students improve by at least one grade.
What kind of qualifications do your tutors have?
Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds, including qualified teachers, university lecturers, examiners, and subject matter experts with degrees from top universities. You can see all their qualifications and experience clearly listed on their individual profiles.
Can we schedule lessons for evenings or weekends?
Yes. One of the biggest benefits of online tutoring is its flexibility. Our tutors offer lessons at various times throughout the day, including evenings and weekends, so you can easily find a schedule that fits around your family's commitments.
