Amirhossein S
Amir has been and continues to be fantastic.In a very short period of time (weeks) he has taken my son up a grade/grade and a half in both maths and computer science. We shall most definitely be continuing with Amir up to my son’s A levels and now fully expect him to achieve As in both. My son even said the other day that if he had had Amir a year ago, he could have even studied further maths. The confidence Amir has given my son back is quite something. I am very grateful to Amir, he is a very great tutor.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is worried about competing for a place at a mainland university like Edinburgh or Glasgow. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. This is a common goal for many parents we support. A tutor can help your child master the content for their Highers and Advanced Highers to secure the best possible grades. They can also work on exam technique and revision strategies, building the confidence they need to stand out in their applications.

With the smaller school sizes in the Shetland Islands, can a tutor provide support in a subject that has limited availability?

Yes, that's a huge benefit of online tutoring. We have specialist tutors across a vast range of subjects, including those that might be harder to access locally. You can find an expert in almost any Higher or Advanced Higher subject, ensuring your child isn't at a disadvantage and can pursue their academic interests fully.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?

You can view detailed profiles for every tutor, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents just like you. You can also send them a message before booking to make sure they're a great fit for your child's personality and learning goals.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know that the right fit is crucial for building confidence. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions and work at their own pace without the pressure of a full classroom. This patient, personalised support helps them master topics they once found tricky, which is a huge confidence booster.

How does the online classroom work?

Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes video chat so your child can see and speak to their tutor, an interactive whiteboard for working through problems together, and a tool for sharing documents and past papers. It's just like being in the same room.

Is it just for school subjects, or can you help with other skills?

We offer support in a wide range of areas beyond the school curriculum. Many students use Tutorful to learn practical skills like coding or a new language, or even to take up a new hobby like learning the guitar. It's a great way to explore new interests.

How much does online tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions – you simply pay for the lessons you book.

How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is identity-checked and has their background checked before they can join us. We also interview them to assess their expertise, and we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be completely confident in their quality.

How often should my child have lessons?

It's completely flexible and depends on your child's needs. Many families start with a weekly session, but you can arrange lessons more or less frequently depending on what you're working towards. You can discuss the best approach directly with your chosen tutor.

How do I pay for lessons?

Payment is simple and secure. You add your payment details to your account, and after each lesson is completed, we'll process the payment automatically. You'll always have a chance to confirm the lesson happened before any charge is made.

How quickly can we get started?

Very quickly! You can start messaging tutors today to find the right one for your child. Many tutors respond within a few hours, and you could have your first session booked in just a day or two.
