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 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
Can a tutor help my child with their application for a university in Glasgow or the West of Scotland?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with the specific requirements for Scottish universities. They can help with personal statements, practise interview questions, and ensure your child's application highlights their strengths, giving them the best possible chance of securing a place.
My child is preparing for their National 5s or Highers. Can we find a tutor who understands the SQA curriculum?
Yes. You can easily find specialists in the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) curriculum. They know exactly what's needed for National 5 and Higher exams and can provide targeted support to help your child feel confident and prepared, whether they attend Port Glasgow High, Notre Dame High, or another local school.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child connects with.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single UK-based tutor is background-checked using an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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.
My child's confidence is low. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of being judged. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild academic confidence week by week.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. There's a two-way video stream, an interactive whiteboard for working through problems together, and a way to share documents. It's simple to use and designed to make learning engaging and effective.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which you can see clearly on each tutor's profile. Rates vary based on experience and subject, allowing you to find a qualified tutor who fits your family's budget with no hidden costs.
How quickly can we expect to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and a more positive attitude towards their studies, sometimes after just a few sessions.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We cover over 300 subjects! Alongside core academic subjects, you can find expert tutors for languages, music lessons like guitar or piano, and even practical skills like coding and Python. There's something for every interest.
What if we need to change our lesson time?
That's no problem at all. We have a flexible 24-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can reschedule your lesson for a time that works better for your family.
How many families have used Tutorful?
You're in great company! We're proud to have helped over 200,000 happy students across the UK achieve their learning goals. You can see what other parents think by looking at our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews.
