Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for the University of Glasgow. Can a tutor help with their Higher results?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the SQA curriculum and have helped students secure the grades needed for competitive courses at top Scottish universities, including Glasgow and Edinburgh. They can provide targeted support to help your child master their Higher subjects and approach their exams with confidence.

The teaching at Bearsden Academy is great, but my child needs help in a specific area. How can a tutor help?

We see tutoring as a partnership that complements your child's schoolwork. A tutor can provide focused, one-to-one attention on the exact topics your child finds challenging, reinforcing what they've learned in class and giving them the space to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in a group.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?

It's easy to find the perfect match. You can filter tutors by subject and level, read detailed profiles, and check ratings and reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their short intro videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ensure they're the right fit for your child.

How much do online tutors in Bearsden cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, starting from £15 per hour. The price is based on their experience and qualifications, so you can easily find a brilliant, background-checked tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. 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 can a tutor help my child feel more confident for their exams?

Confidence is key. A tutor can help by breaking down difficult topics into manageable steps, practising past papers, and teaching effective revision techniques. This preparation helps your child feel in control of their learning and reduces anxiety, allowing them to walk into their exams feeling capable and ready.

Are your tutors familiar with the Scottish SQA curriculum?

Yes, many of our tutors are specialists in the Scottish curriculum. You can see details of their experience with National 5s, Highers, and Advanced Highers on their profiles. They can provide support that is perfectly aligned with what your child is learning at school.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child to collaborate with their tutor. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.

Is tutoring just 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 have experts in a huge range of other areas. Your child can learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language or even music production.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check (or the equivalent check in Scotland and Northern Ireland). We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 of those who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

How many lessons will my child need?

This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Some students have a regular weekly lesson to stay on top of their studies, while others book a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam. You can discuss what works best with your chosen tutor.

What if our schedule is really busy?

That's the great thing about online tutoring. You can find tutors who offer lessons in the evenings or at weekends, fitting them around school, clubs, and family life. There's no travelling involved, making it a really convenient way to learn.
