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.

Ethan G
I have been working with Ethan for a couple of months now and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His calm, friendly manner immediately made learning both engaging and enjoyable.
One of the many things that sets Ethan apart is the depth of his knowledge. Not only does he have an exceptional understanding of the A-level Politics spec, but he also brings in wider real-world context and insights that make the subject far more interesting and meaningful.
He has been particularly outstanding in helping me develop my essay writing. Ethan has taken the time to guide me through essays line-by-line, showing me exactly how to structure high-level answers and refine my arguments. His experience and clarity in explaining what examiners are really looking for has completely transformed my approach to essays, and as a result I am now consistently achieving high A grades.
On top of all of this, he genuinely cares about helping his students succeed. He regularly goes above and beyond what is expected of a tutor, always taking extra time to make sure I fully understand the material and giving incredibly thoughtful, detailed feedback.
Working with Ethan has been one of the most valuable parts of my A-level Politics preparation, and I would recommend him without any doubt.

Mario S
My daughter had weekly maths lessons with Mario in preparation for her 11+ exams. He challenged her with numerous different papers and questions, honed in on the areas that needed extra work, and worked with her to improve her exam techniques and, crucially, timing skills. She sat the exams feeling confident, and passed both the Sutton SET and Second Stage Exam and was offered her first choice grammar school. I’d be happy to recommend Mario as a tutor.

Jon B
Jon has been an excellent geography tutor for our daughter. From the start, he took the time to understand her prior knowledge and level of understanding, which meant he could quickly gauge what she needed to focus on most.
He is kind, patient and very supportive, which has helped build her confidence. Jon clearly has a strong knowledge of the subject as well as the exam structure, and he explains topics in a very clear and accessible way. His lessons are well organised and he sets relevant homework that builds on what has been covered, helping to reinforce learning between sessions.
He has also been very accommodating when we needed to change lesson times temporarily. He is easy to contact and always responds very quickly, which makes arranging lessons straightforward.
Overall, we have been extremely pleased with the support Jon has provided and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable and encouraging geography tutor.

Aishat A
Aishat is a great tutor and we’ve been really pleased with the support she’s given my son. He has weekly GCSE Science (AQA) tutoring with her, and she has taken the time to really understand his learning habits. He’s completely comfortable with her, which has made a big difference to his confidence. Aishat is always punctual, responds promptly to messages, and keeps me well informed about my son’s progress. What’s been especially reassuring is that topics she’s covered with him have already come up in his mock exams, and he was able to answer those questions confidently. We’re very happy with the progress he’s making and would happily recommend 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.
