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!

My daughter had only a brief time with Christopher but he was very reliable. He was very thorough in the topics we requested and obviously knew economics in detail. He expanded on subjects when required but kept it simple to understand- thank you so much for your time
Would recommend Christopher!

My daughter has had Katie for nearly a term now and she is loving the sessions. She is inspired by Katies teaching of A-level maths and always looks forward to them. Katie is reliable, friendly, responsive to messages and makes her lessons great fun as well as informative, getting my daughter A-level exam ready. We are really glad we found her and would recommend. Her teaching has already had an impact on my daughter's test results and confidence.

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 :)

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Hermitage Academy. Can a tutor help them compete for places at universities like Glasgow or Edinburgh?
Absolutely. Many parents share your concern. Our tutors specialise in helping students build the strong academic profile needed for competitive university applications. They can focus on strengthening subject knowledge for key Highers, improving exam technique, and building the confidence your child needs to stand out.
We're worried about the step up from National 5s to Highers. Can a tutor help with that transition?
Yes, this is a common challenge where a tutor can be incredibly helpful. They can pre-emptively cover more difficult Higher-level topics, revise key National 5 concepts, and help your child develop the independent study skills needed to succeed at the next level, making the transition feel much smoother.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for success. 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.
How do I choose the best tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask any specific questions you have.
How much does online tutoring in Helensburgh cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your budget.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and capable expert.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident at school?
Confidence often comes from understanding. When a tutor takes the time to explain things in a way that clicks for your child, they start to feel more capable. This one-to-one encouragement in a safe space, away from classroom pressure, can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. Tutors make sessions engaging and tailored to your child's needs, whether that's working through a tricky maths problem or planning an essay.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
It varies for each child, but our approach gets results. With consistent, tailored support, students quickly fill in knowledge gaps and build confidence. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.
How flexible are the lesson times?
Very flexible. Our tutors offer sessions during the day, in the evenings, and at weekends. You can easily find a time that fits around your child's school commitments and your family's schedule.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can you help with hobbies?
We offer support for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them pursue their passion.
Can we get help for 11+ or other school entrance exams?
Yes, we have many specialist tutors with experience in preparing children for entrance exams, including the 11+. They can help familiarise your child with the exam format, work on specific skills, and build their confidence ahead of the test day.
