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!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to the University of St Andrews. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Our tutors can provide expert subject-specific support to help your child achieve the Higher results needed for a competitive application. Many can also offer guidance on personal statements, helping your child articulate their passion and suitability for their chosen course.
We're worried about the step up from National 5s to Highers. How can a tutor help?
This is a common concern, and it's an area where tutoring can be incredibly effective. A tutor can help bridge the gap by reinforcing core knowledge from National 5s, introducing new Higher-level concepts at a comfortable pace, and teaching effective study habits to manage the increased workload.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child in Kirkcaldy?
You can view detailed tutor profiles which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents just like you. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs and see if they are a good fit. It's a great way to find the perfect match.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. All costs are shown upfront on their profile, so there are no hidden fees.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything needed for a great lesson, including a live video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and working through problems, and file sharing. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How can a tutor help my child's confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to learning. One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By mastering topics they once found difficult, they get a real confidence boost that carries over into the classroom.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. 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 this just for school subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, you can also find brilliant tutors for hobbies and personal development. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, master coding with Python, or speak a new language, we have tutors who can help.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our focus is on making steady, consistent progress. Tutoring is a partnership, and our goal is to build skills and understanding over time. That said, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.
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. This helps the tutor understand their learning style and create a plan tailored specifically to them.
Can we book lessons at short notice, for example before a test?
Yes, many of our tutors have flexible schedules and can accommodate last-minute bookings. You can see their availability on their profile. It's a great way to get some extra revision and a confidence boost right before an important exam.
