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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Edinburgh. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students with their university applications. They can help your child deepen their subject knowledge for Highers and Advanced Highers, ensuring their grades are as strong as possible, and can also offer support with personal statements to help them stand out.
We're worried about the step-up to Highers. Can a tutor help bridge any gaps from their National 5s?
Definitely. This is a very common reason parents seek a tutor. An experienced tutor can identify any areas where your child might lack confidence from their National 5 studies and work specifically on those topics to ensure they have a solid foundation for the more demanding Higher curriculum.
How do I choose the right tutor in Dalkeith for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in the right subject and level for your child. It's a great idea to read their profiles, check their reviews from other parents, and send a message to a few to see who feels like the best fit for your child's personality and learning style.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, the subject, and the level of study. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your budget.
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 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.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS or background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to ensure the highest quality.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, tutors help them master tricky topics, which naturally builds their self-belief and reduces exam anxiety.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for drawing and sharing notes, and a document editor. It has all the tools your child needs for an engaging, collaborative lesson from the comfort of your home.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for learning a musical instrument like guitar, mastering a new language, or even developing skills like coding and public speaking.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most tutoring sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. The best way to track progress is by communicating directly with your child's tutor. They will be happy to provide feedback after each session and discuss the areas they are working on, so you always know how your child is getting on.
How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?
You can get started very quickly. Many parents find the right tutor and have their first lesson booked within 24 hours. Simply search for your subject, message a few tutors, and arrange a time that works for you.
