Daniel P
Daniel kindly came in at the last minute to help my son understand what was needed for his EAPI (part of A level PE coursework). Daniel was really responsive, and gave great advice in a form my son understood how to implement. My son just did his EAPI today and the feedback from his teacher/examiner is that he did very well. I am confident that Daniel's intervention has resulted in my son getting a higher grade than he would have otherwise.

Richard S
Richard is an excellent tutor with great advice. Instead of telling me the answer he allows me to independently think and gives small clues on how to get to the answer. He also provided me with great key points and acronyms that help me remember essay structure as well as giving me external resources which contain useful information for my exam.

Jack R
We’ve had a fantastic experience with Jack as a maths tutor - so far my daughter had three sessions with him. Jack is an excellent communicator and explains concepts clearly and step-by-step, making even the all topics feel manageable. His lessons are well-structured and thoughtfully tailored to my daughter’s needs (we aim for confidence in class and confident GCSE mark).
Jack is also incredibly friendly and positive, which creates a really encouraging learning environment - one of my key requirements. My daughter genuinely enjoys her lessons with him and is already feeling much more confident in her maths curriculum. Highly recommended!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
The pace at schools like Williamwood and St Ninian's is very fast. Can a tutor help my child keep up?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Giffnock come to us. A one-to-one tutor can work at your child's pace, reinforcing what they've learned in class and giving them the space to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in front of their peers. This helps them stay on track and feel less overwhelmed.
My child is aiming for a competitive course at the University of Glasgow. Can a tutor help with their Higher results?
Yes, many of our tutors are specialists in preparing students for their Highers and Advanced Highers. They have deep knowledge of the SQA curriculum and can provide targeted support with exam technique, revision strategies, and mastering key topics to help your child secure the grades they need for their university application.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience, read reviews from other parents, and watch their short introduction videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a session to ensure a great fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to success. That's why we offer a 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 much does online tutoring in Giffnock cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £45, depending on their experience and the subject level. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget with no hidden costs.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child gets a safe space to make mistakes and ask questions without fear of judgement. As their tutor helps them overcome challenges and they see their own progress, their self-belief naturally grows, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork in general.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced background check. We also personally interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and verified expert.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for an engaging lesson, including a two-way interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It's designed to be simple and intuitive, allowing your child and their tutor to focus on learning. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You might want more sessions leading up to an important exam or fewer during school holidays. You can discuss the best plan with your tutor.
Is it just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child could learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or even master a new language. It's about supporting all of their learning goals.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes, you can. We encourage tutors to provide feedback after each session, and you can message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress and goals. It’s a collaborative effort between you, your child, and their tutor.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors respond to messages within a few hours. Once you've found a tutor you like and agreed on a time, you can book your first session and start learning right away.
