Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Natalie G
Highly Recommended Maths Tutor!
Natalie is a fantastic tutor and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. She tailors every lesson to my daughter’s individual needs, and as a visual learner, my daughter finds her sessions engaging, fun, and easy to understand. Natalie prepares each lesson beautifully and always comes with creative ways to explain even the trickiest concepts.
We’ve used tutors for all three of our children over the years, and only Natalie and one other tutor have provided such thoughtful, detailed feedback after every session — something we find extremely valuable.
It’s genuinely hard to find a maths tutor who makes lessons enjoyable, but Natalie does exactly that.
For the first time ever, my daughter actually looks forward to her maths sessions! Her confidence has grown, and so have her skills.
I highly recommend Natalie to any child who struggles with maths or simply wants to strengthen their abilities. Thank you, Natalie, for your dedication and wonderful teaching approach!

Ricarda M
My daughter has been using Ricarda for A Level German tuition for the past couple of months. My daughter's test grades have already gone up and her teacher has commented on the progress she has made over the last couple of months. Ricarda is very personable, reliable and responsive. She listens, and quickly understood the areas my daughter needs to work on. She is a great tutor and I'm very happy that I chose her to support my daughter. I would highly recommend Ricarda!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for the University of Glasgow. Can a tutor help with the specific Highers they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in the SQA curriculum and have extensive experience helping students achieve the grades needed for competitive university courses. They can provide targeted support for specific Higher subjects to build a strong application.
My child attends a local Greenock school. Do your tutors understand the Scottish curriculum?
Yes, they do. You can easily filter for tutors with experience in the Scottish education system, including National 5s, Highers, and Advanced Highers. They can tailor their teaching to match what your child is learning at school, whether that's at Notre Dame High, Clydeview Academy, or another local school.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure your child feels comfortable and supported, which is 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 much do tutors in Greenock cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no surprises.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, tutors help your child see that they are capable, which builds lasting confidence.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, master coding in Python, or learn a new language, we can help.
How quickly can we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring.
Can we fit lessons around sports and other clubs?
Of course. That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. Tutors offer a wide range of availability, including evenings and weekends, so you can easily find a time that fits around your family's busy schedule.
