Amirhossein S
Amir has been and continues to be fantastic.In a very short period of time (weeks) he has taken my son up a grade/grade and a half in both maths and computer science. We shall most definitely be continuing with Amir up to my son’s A levels and now fully expect him to achieve As in both. My son even said the other day that if he had had Amir a year ago, he could have even studied further maths. The confidence Amir has given my son back is quite something. I am very grateful to Amir, he is a very great tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child's school is quite small. Can an online tutor help them achieve the grades for competitive university courses at places like Glasgow or Edinburgh?
Absolutely. This is one of the main reasons parents in the Highlands come to us. An online tutor can provide specialist, in-depth support for National 5s and Highers that might not be available locally. They can focus on the specific syllabus requirements and exam techniques needed to help your child stand out and secure a place at their first-choice university.
We live remotely in the Highlands. How does online tutoring work logistically for us?
It’s designed to be simple and convenient, no matter where you live. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, with video chat, a shared whiteboard, and file sharing, so it feels just like they're in the same room as their tutor.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and high-quality?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a rigorous selection process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed by a member of our team and must pass a background check before they can teach on the platform. Our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100+ reviews shows how much parents trust our approach.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's specific goals. It's all about finding a great personality fit as well as a subject expert.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right personal connection is key to successful learning. 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.
Is it just for National 5s and Highers, or can you help with other skills like learning an instrument or coding?
While we have thousands of academic tutors, we also have experts in a huge range of other areas! Whether your child wants to learn guitar, master Python coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find a brilliant and inspiring tutor to help them.
How much does online tutoring cost in the Highlands?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the subject level. You can filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
Can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence?
Yes, this is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe and encouraging environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-belief that extends far beyond one subject.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Each lesson is tailored to your child. It might start with a quick chat about what they've covered in school that week. Then, they could work through tricky homework problems on the interactive whiteboard, practise exam questions, or go over a topic they find confusing. The tutor adapts every session to what your child needs most at that moment.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback, and you can message them at any time to check in on progress. The best sign, however, is often seeing your child's confidence grow. They might start contributing more in class or feel less anxious about exams. This newfound self-belief is just as important as improvements in their grades.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session per week is ideal for consistent progress, especially when preparing for exams like National 5s or Highers. However, it's completely flexible, and you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child with your chosen tutor.
What equipment do we need for online tutoring?
It's very simple. You just need a computer or laptop with a microphone and webcam, and a reliable internet connection. Our online classroom works directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to download. We recommend using headphones for the best audio quality.
