Jack R
Very patient and very clear when explaining stuff. Doesn’t go too fast and really knows what he’s talking about. I knew basically nothing about python before I got him, now I’m much more confident with everything and am able to do some good coding on my own. Would definitely recommend if you’re interested in anything python related!

My daughter had only a brief time with Christopher but he was very reliable. He was very thorough in the topics we requested and obviously knew economics in detail. He expanded on subjects when required but kept it simple to understand- thank you so much for your time
Would recommend Christopher!

My daughter has had Katie for nearly a term now and she is loving the sessions. She is inspired by Katies teaching of A-level maths and always looks forward to them. Katie is reliable, friendly, responsive to messages and makes her lessons great fun as well as informative, getting my daughter A-level exam ready. We are really glad we found her and would recommend. Her teaching has already had an impact on my daughter's test results and confidence.

Chinazaekpele J
She is absolutely amazing!! I am a mature student studying A levels; moving from a design background into science is a huge leap, Chinaze has been nothing but supportive and helpful. Her knowledge is impressive and she’s extremely flexible with lessons. Every time I’ve had a session with her, I’ve left feeling very confident. I’m that annoying student who is always asking why and she always has an answer, even if it’s not relevant to the subject. Really grateful to have found her :)

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Bathgate Academy and feels the pressure of National 5s. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. It's a common concern, and a tutor can make a huge difference. They can provide focused, one-to-one support on the specific SQA curriculum, helping your child master tricky topics, improve their exam technique, and build the confidence they need to aim for the grades required for their Highers.
We're aiming for a competitive course at the University of Edinburgh or Glasgow. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes. Gaining a place on a top course often requires excellent Higher results. Our tutors can help your child deepen their subject knowledge and develop the skills needed to achieve those top grades. Many of our tutors are university graduates themselves and can offer valuable insight into what top universities look for.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
It's simple to find the perfect match. You can browse detailed tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch introductory videos. You can also message tutors for free before booking to discuss your child's specific goals and ensure it's a good fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key to 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.
Can we find a tutor who understands the Scottish curriculum (SQA)?
Yes, of course. Many of our tutors are based in Scotland or have extensive experience teaching the SQA curriculum. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in National 5s, Highers, and Advanced Highers to ensure your child gets the most relevant support.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, and you can use our search filters to narrow down your options based on price.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video call, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all. While we have thousands of tutors for core academic subjects, we also offer support for hobbies and personal development. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to speaking a new language.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are ID and background-checked. We have a strict vetting process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe, supportive space where there are no bad questions. This allows your child to address areas where they feel unsure without the pressure of a classroom environment. As they start to master topics they once found difficult, their self-belief and confidence grow.
How long will my child need a tutor for?
It's completely flexible and up to you. Some families look for a short-term boost just before exams, while others prefer regular, weekly sessions throughout the school year to provide consistent support. You can discuss your needs directly with your chosen tutor.
How many other students have used Tutorful?
Your child will be in great company! We've helped over 200,000 students achieve their learning goals. With over 4,100 reviews and a 4.6-star rating, you can feel confident that you're choosing a trusted platform to support your child's education.
