Daniel P
Daniel kindly came in at the last minute to help my son understand what was needed for his EAPI (part of A level PE coursework). Daniel was really responsive, and gave great advice in a form my son understood how to implement. My son just did his EAPI today and the feedback from his teacher/examiner is that he did very well. I am confident that Daniel's intervention has resulted in my son getting a higher grade than he would have otherwise.

Richard S
Richard is an excellent tutor with great advice. Instead of telling me the answer he allows me to independently think and gives small clues on how to get to the answer. He also provided me with great key points and acronyms that help me remember essay structure as well as giving me external resources which contain useful information for my exam.

Jack R
We’ve had a fantastic experience with Jack as a maths tutor - so far my daughter had three sessions with him. Jack is an excellent communicator and explains concepts clearly and step-by-step, making even the all topics feel manageable. His lessons are well-structured and thoughtfully tailored to my daughter’s needs (we aim for confidence in class and confident GCSE mark).
Jack is also incredibly friendly and positive, which creates a really encouraging learning environment - one of my key requirements. My daughter genuinely enjoys her lessons with him and is already feeling much more confident in her maths curriculum. Highly recommended!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to UWS or Glasgow universities. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with their university applications. They can help your child master the content for their Highers to secure the grades they need, and also provide guidance on personal statements to help their application stand out.
Can a tutor help my child get the best possible grades at a school like Gryffe High or Paisley Grammar?
Definitely. Our tutors can tailor their support to the specific curriculum your child is following. By understanding their schoolwork, they can help fill in any gaps, build on what they're learning in class, and give them the confidence to excel in their National 5 and Higher exams.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to explain your child's needs. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial for 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 much does online tutoring in Renfrewshire cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. You can see the hourly rate on each tutor's profile and use our search filters to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How can tutoring help if my child feels anxious about their exams?
A tutor can make a huge difference. By working one-to-one, they can break down difficult topics into manageable steps, practise exam techniques, and build your child's self-belief. This personalised support often reduces stress and helps them feel prepared and confident.
Do you only offer academic subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for all school subjects, we also have experts who can teach skills like coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, or even public speaking. It's all about helping your child explore their interests.
How does the online classroom work?
It's a simple and secure online space with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s designed to be easy for your child to use, allowing them to collaborate with their tutor just as they would in person.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to focus on a topic without losing concentration. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How quickly can we start?
You can get started very quickly. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you could have your first lesson booked within 24 hours.
Can I see how my child is progressing?
Of course. We encourage open communication. You can message your child's tutor at any time to ask for updates on their progress and discuss how things are going.
