Personalised Online Tutoring That Puts Your Child First
We believe the best learning happens when there's a real connection. That's why we help you find a tutor who not only knows their subject inside out, but who also understands how to connect with your child. They'll take the time to get to know their learning style, build on their strengths, and gently work on the areas where they need a bit more help. We handpick the best tutors from across the UK, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands. Every online lesson is designed around your child. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here. If they're struggling to get their head around chemical equations for National 5 Chemistry, the entire session can focus on that. If they need to practise essay technique for Higher History, their tutor will provide targeted feedback and guidance. This focused attention is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Juggling school, homework, and family life can be tricky. Our online platform makes tutoring simple and stress-free. You can find and message tutors at any time, and schedule lessons for whenever suits your family – whether it's after school or on a weekend. All your child needs is a laptop and an internet connection to learn from the comfort of home.

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 is at Lasswade High School. Can we find a tutor familiar with the SQA curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) curriculum for National 5s and Highers. You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience and find someone who is a great fit to support a student from Lasswade High, Penicuik High, or any other school in Midlothian.
My child is hoping to study at the University of Edinburgh. Can a tutor help with their Higher results?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child achieve the Higher results they need for competitive courses at universities like Edinburgh or Heriot-Watt. They can help with exam technique, understanding tricky topics, and building the subject knowledge that makes an application stand out.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I pick the right 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 questions and make sure they're the right person to help your child.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has been interviewed by our team. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from a trusted and verified expert.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a computer with a microphone, a camera, and a stable internet connection.
How much does tutoring in Midlothian cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and subject. You can see the price clearly on every tutor's profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. The one-to-one attention from a tutor who is dedicated to their success helps your child ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. This personal support helps them understand topics properly, which is a huge boost to their confidence.
Is it only for academic subjects like Maths and English?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts in core academic areas, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach practical and creative skills like coding, learning the guitar, music production, and even new languages.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is ideal for consistent progress. But the schedule is completely flexible. You might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to exams, or less frequent sessions for a general confidence boost. It's entirely up to you and your tutor.
How long are the lessons?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying for lessons is straightforward and secure. After each lesson is completed, your payment is processed automatically through the platform using your saved card details. You can view your payment history and manage everything from your account.
