Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child with their application to universities in Glasgow or Edinburgh?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have extensive experience helping students with their UCAS applications, including personal statements and interview preparation for competitive courses at top Scottish universities. They can help your child showcase their strengths and stand out.
My child attends a local Kilmarnock school. Can we find a tutor familiar with the Scottish curriculum?
Yes. We have a huge number of tutors who are experts in the Scottish curriculum, including the specific requirements for National 5s, Highers, and Advanced Highers. You can find someone who knows exactly what examiners are looking for and can support your child effectively.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter by subject and experience. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding the right personality fit.
How much do online tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, starting from around £20 per hour. Each tutor sets their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is for your child's 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.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
Often, a lack of confidence comes from small gaps in understanding. A one-to-one tutor can identify and fix these gaps in a safe, encouraging space where your child feels comfortable asking questions. This builds their self-belief and helps them feel more positive about their studies.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors must have a valid DBS check and provide professional references. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who applies is accepted onto our platform.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and file sharing, so your child and their tutor can work through problems together just as they would in person.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
It's for much more than just school subjects! We have expert tutors who can teach everything from coding and Python to playing the guitar, learning a new language, or even public speaking. It's a great way for your child to explore a new hobby or develop a passion.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly sessions to build their skills and confidence over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
Can I track my child's progress?
Of course. The best way is to have a quick chat with the tutor. They can provide feedback after each session on what was covered and how your child is getting on. Open communication is a key part of the process.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first session is usually about the tutor getting to know your child. They'll chat about their strengths, weaknesses, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed way to build a rapport and create a plan for future lessons.
