Jorge F
Experienced Spanish and Portuguese tutor.
Hello I am Jorge. I am originally Portuguese with Spanish roots and I love to both teach and learn. I've studied Spanish up to University and I've lived in the UK for more than eight years. I've tutored some pupils in the local community, helped them in Spanish with good results. Portuguese is my first language and I am ready to help anyone reach their targets. Both Portuguese and Spanish are very similar languages which are derived from Latin. For an English speaking student it can be very hard to comprehend the languages at times. My approach to teaching pupils is by finding an easy and simple...

Peter J
My son has been having regular weekly A-level maths lessons with Peter for a couple of months now and he's absolutely brilliant. My son says he's the best tutor he's had - he's super positive and encouraging, explains things really clearly and just makes things make sense that my son had found tricky in his college maths classes. Peter is always really helpful if we need to change the day or time of a session and responds to messages promptly. My son is already feeling much more confident about his maths exams and looks forwards to his sessions with Peter. Would definitely recommend!

Richard H
My son has just started weekly A-level geography sessions with Richard. So far he's been absolutely brilliant! Richard was super helpful and flexible with days and times and the initial 15 minute chat was great as it allowed him and my son to discuss strengths and weaknesses and make a plan together. My son found the first lesson really valuable. Richard had prepared a session that was tailored perfectly and we received prompt feedback after the lesson. My son is looking forward to his regular lessons with Richard and I'm sure he will gain much more confidence and exam technique as a result of Richard's tutoring. Would definitely recommend!

Ayma A
I had lessons with Ayma to help me prepare for an upcoming medicine interview. Despite the short notice I gave, she was able to fit in several sessions with me and was well prepared for each one, having a clear idea of what to cover. She went through every aspect of medicine interviews such as ethics, data, roleplay and personal skills, and boosted my confidence greatly. She was very kind and patient throughout, even when I struggled a lot with some answers, and she took time to explain everything clearly for me, including some technical and tricky concepts. I really appreciate her help and couldn’t have done my interview without her :-)

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study at the University of Glasgow or Strathclyde. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in preparing students for competitive university courses. They can help your child master the content for their Highers, refine their personal statement, and build the strong academic record needed for applications to top Scottish universities.
How can online tutoring help my child in Rutherglen compete with students from other top schools?
One-to-one tutoring gives your child a personal advantage. While their class teacher has to manage 30 students, a tutor provides focused, individual attention. They can fill any knowledge gaps, challenge your child to go deeper into their subjects, and build their confidence to stand out.
How do I find the right tutor for my child?
It's simple. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in the right subject and level, from National 5s to Advanced Highers. You can read their profiles, check reviews from other parents, and even message them for free to make sure they're the perfect fit before booking.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key to 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 tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or complicated contracts to worry about.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
Is it just for National 5s and Highers, or can my child learn other things?
While we have fantastic academic tutors, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding in Python, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find a brilliant tutor for them here.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. As they start to master topics they once found tricky, you'll see their self-belief grow, which has a positive impact on all their studies.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's just like face-to-face tutoring, but more convenient. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and file sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our focus on personalised support gets results. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and engagement after just a few sessions.
What happens in a typical tutoring session?
A session is shaped around your child's needs. It might start with a quick chat about what they've covered in school that week. Then, the tutor might work through a specific topic, tackle tricky homework problems together, or practise exam techniques using past papers.
Can we get help with entrance exams for other independent schools?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in entrance exam preparation, including the 11+. They have experience with the specific requirements and can help your child prepare for the format, build their skills, and approach the exam with confidence.
