Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can a tutor help my child with their application for the University of Glasgow or Strathclyde?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in supporting students with their university applications. They can help with personal statement writing, interview preparation, and ensuring your child's Higher results meet the entry requirements for competitive courses at top Scottish universities.

My child is aiming for five Highers at Calderglen High. Can a tutor help them manage the workload?

Yes, this is a common reason parents seek support. A tutor can be a fantastic partner in helping your child manage the demands of a heavy S5 workload. They can provide subject-specific help, teach effective study and revision techniques, and build a plan to help your child stay on track and feel less overwhelmed.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?

You can view detailed tutor profiles which include their experience, qualifications, a short bio video, and reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child connects with.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

How much does online tutoring in East Kilbride 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. You can filter your search by price to find a great tutor who fits your budget.

Is tutoring just for school subjects like Maths and English?

Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for all school subjects from National 5s right through to degree level, we also offer support for hobbies and personal development. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding in Python.

How does the online classroom work?

Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes live video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and working through problems together, and a document sharing feature. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

Confidence often grows from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors provide patient encouragement and celebrate small wins, which helps your child feel more capable and less anxious about their studies.

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 equivalent background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, professional hands.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that a one-hour session per week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, this is completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. You can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor.

What results can I expect?

While every child's journey is unique, our focus is on building confidence and understanding that leads to real progress. We're proud that 90% of students on Tutorful improve by at least one grade, and our platform is rated 4.6/5 from over 4,100 reviews from parents like you.

Can I track my child's progress?

Yes. You can message your child's tutor at any time to ask for updates. Many tutors provide regular feedback on how your child is doing, what they've covered in lessons, and what the plan is for future sessions.
