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!

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 :)

My child is worried about getting the grades for Highers at Dunfermline High School. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is a very common reason parents in Dunfermline come to us. Our tutors are experienced in the Scottish curriculum and can provide targeted support for National 5 and Higher exams. They can help your child grasp difficult topics, improve their exam technique, and build the confidence they need to secure the grades for their chosen path.
We're hoping my child can go to university in Edinburgh or Glasgow. Can a tutor support their application?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience helping students with their UCAS applications, including personal statements. They can help your child articulate their strengths and ambitions, giving them a great advantage when applying to competitive universities like Edinburgh, Glasgow, or St Andrews.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. 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 just for school subjects, or can my child learn something new like coding or a musical instrument?
It's for both! While we have thousands of expert academic tutors for subjects from Maths to Modern Studies, we also have talented tutors who can teach skills like coding, learning the guitar, a new language, or even music production. It's a great way to support your child's hobbies and personal development.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute video chat, which is a great way for you and your child to meet them, discuss your goals, and see if their teaching style is a good match before booking.

How often should my child have a tutoring session?
